Ideas carry energy

 

I want to celebrate the human, the marks people make on the world. Treasure the local, the small-scale, the ordinary: whatever is made out of caring. To find beauty in small things, in appreciation of each moment.

 

 CREATING

As the way of living

LOVE

The state of mind

SILENCE

The inner music
