From my spiritual diary
Various emotions followed by pain were born. Those are anger, jealousy, sadness, doubt, and worries. I expressed them in the form of sea creatures. They are inside the cage. When I can’t release those feelings, it means it is I who want to confine in the cage even I know I can release them. We might not know we could let them go. I didn’t know either. But I also got to know that we can train our brain. Just the matter of practice. A turtle is swimming happily without
any concerns.

“Trust your power” and “Be an origin of what good energy is circulated.” Based on this idea, I drew a body without a head, it’s me. Without head, because the heart knows better than the brain. Also, to express energy circulation, with 2 people, there appear a human circle. The bodies are from “Dance 2” by Matisse.

I have experienced from extreme jealousy to unconditional love. I thought it would be nice to experience only unconditional love. But you have to know the opposite to know the thing you want to know. Hate-Love, Black- White, Man-Woman… Today’s picture is a big oval and some small ovals. The big one expresses the shape of galaxy. And in each small oval, I put each two opposite things. In the long run, isn’t it all our lives are composed by the mix of two extremes? Oval is said to express the dynamism of life, too.

I thought about “concentration.” From 2011 to 2015, I was able to focus on English lessons. I enjoy teaching and appreciate the students who take my lessons regularly. I tried to draw abstraction because one thing I want to do is to depict human emotion/ feeling by abstract painting. The picture I referred is by Robert Matta’s painting.

I drew this today hoping Toraji will become tough and invincible. The scariest thing is not monsters or zombies, but anger, revenge, jealousy, no motivation, sadness, too much self-sorrow, doubt, untrust etc. He is in the middle, and I visualized all these feelings into each monster-like things. The picture I referred is Percy, a main character of contemporary Greek story, and people from Munch’s painting.

In my day, I wrote to get a package from Connie. The picture is from her name sticker. It has a red bird perching on a silver branch. I drew a rose after I read a piece of Haiku in a book given by Connie. Haiku: Rose petals scattering
The sand of my heart
Breaking into pieces

About DNA. Introducing far different DNA, you can change you stronger who is able to deal with the changes.” Here is my picture today. Left: Two snakes from Medusa. Center: African mask from Chokue. The mask expresses the ideal beauty of a woman. In the dance, the dancer is a man. He dances like a woman. This means a kind of spiritual marriage.
