Glorious!!

Year in review, 2025.

All the sketches were done on a Moleskine unruled, without looking at the paper.

It was one of the experiments I conducted on myself this year, this one since around April.

It’s a practice, on a special kind of seeing; with my mind’s eye, to intuit, from the root of all senses.

And to merge with the Waves, to let their Energy flood through me. Wash the sludge off of me.

A bull fled the fight, pulling spears out of his back. Salt in the breeze to nullify the poison.

To revive my memory of what it all could be. Nursed back to Life by dazzling sparkles at the Glorious Shore.

Drawn waves in the photo immediately beneath the “Silver Lining” quote, specifically the bottom wave and the one, second from bottom facing right-hand side, are not drawn from the photo of the ocean below. I didn’t notice they look as if I did until after I published this post. I just followed my inspired direction while choosing photos, and this is exactly what I meant, training to see in that special way.

*I am aware that the saying’s not invented by the airline but was printed on their cup and I thought it was charming.

Wishing You A Beautifully Glorious New Year!!
