In the End

Calligraphy Art:

In the end, will you say you followed your dreams?

Media:

Ziller ink, walnut ink, sumi ink, steel pointed pen on paper

Dimensions:

3 5/8″ x 6 3/16″

Creation Notes:

When I look back on my life at the end of it, how much money I made or cool stuff I accumulated is probably not what I’ll be thinking about. I want to be able to say that I followed my dreams, that I lived a big, bold, creative life. Which means it’s incumbent upon me to live that way right now, taking nanosteps toward my dreams every day.

Media:

Walnut ink, Ziller ink, steel pointed pen on paper

Dimensions:

3.6″ x 9.6″

I sometimes find it very hard to live in the now. My mind is so often dreaming about what could be, or thinking about what was. But really, you can only live in present time! (Meditation definitely helps with this!)
