Peacocks in the Garden of the Mind
36”x 48”
Acrylic on canvas
If you have a garden in your backyard, you would be upset if someone went back there and threw toxic waste on it. However, many people let such toxic waste contaminate their minds.
This “waste” is in the form of fears and anxieties; worrying about the past and the future contaminates your inner garden. Just as gardeners fiercely protect their gardens, you must stand guard over the garden of your mind and let only the right kinds of thoughts enter.
On an average day, the average person has 60,000 thoughts. 95% of them are the same thoughts he or she had the day before. People spin their wheels worrying about problems and negatives in their lives, serious or trifling. This is an enormous waste of energy and potential.
The garden of your mind is the one thing in the world that you have total control over. You can’t control what happens around you, but you can control how you respond to it. When your mind is unfocused or distracted by worries, you waste energy and tire yourself out. Over time this energy waste impacts your creativity, motivation, and overall mood.
Therefore, managing your mind is the key to managing your life ☮️💜🎨🌱🌼🌸

We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness. We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.

Major improvements don't happen over night. There are many moments inching towards improvement.
The difference between those who make major improvements in their lives are the ones who embrace patience and wait through the darkness as long as it takes.

I understood myself only after I destroyed myself. And only in the process of fixing myself, did I know who I really was.

The Trees & the Axe
20” x 20”
Acrylic on canvas
Fables of Aesop
A Man came into a Wood one day with an axe in his hand, and begged all the Trees to give him a small branch which he wanted for a particular purpose. The Trees were good-natured and gave him one of their branches. What did the Man do but fix it into the axe head, and soon set to work cutting down tree after tree. Then the Trees saw how foolish they had been in giving their enemy the means of destroying themselves.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away.
When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldn't see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don't you come back any
more!
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the
door... (slam!)
Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away…

Must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides
