The Cycle of Life

This is a painting of my stepson peacefully contemplating a sunset after a strenuous bike ride. When we sit quietly in nature, what do we hear? Could it be the voice of silence, the voice within us that longs to feel a deep connection with life? Carl Jung once said, “To rest in Tao means fulfilment, wholeness, one’s destination reached, one’s mission done; the beginning, end, and perfect realization of the meaning of existence innate in all things.” In this tumultuous world, sometimes we need to change gears – turn off all devices, enjoy nature, and simply be.
