Instagram post 18122727112005150 The world is divided into two. Those that hate themselves and those that love themselves. That is it. All action spearheads from here. Dissonance is when these two groups intermingle. If you love yourself and refuse to practice self-abandonment you will overcome dissonance. From this place when those around you are into self-hatred you can love them, I love that. You can send me resentment but I will stand in compassion for you. The only level of difference is distance. I will love some up close and some I will love from further away. Some from very far. To those that hate blatantly or secretly - their bodies their Self, their minds, their friends, their family, this world, this earth, this environment, may self-love overcome you, fill you, your future, your interactions. May this world fall in love with itself.
Instagram post 17910581845381477 My work has been pulling me - away and towards an unbeaten path. I am moving forward into 2020 with a clarified vision for my future, my art, my vocation. This move came with a price. I have lost relationships. BUT If you let your life speak- with authenticity - it brings new people to you that is on the same wavelength. I want to sunset this year by saying how grateful I am of new friends and colleagues that entered my life. I am grateful for the people that are standing by my side without questioning because they believe in me. What will I do without you? I am grateful for every situation that happened in my life - for it made me who I am. I am grateful to be inter-functional and part of this collective. There is no more time to wait, to normalize toxicity, to expect in vain, to hope for change. There is work to be done. Only you can do it. Today. If you take that first scary step it is a blessing to see who is by your side. I have wonderful kindred spirits sitting at my soul table. Together we will feast on the possibilities of tomorrow. Happy 2020! #letyourlifespeak #newbeginnings #worktobedone #contemporaryartist #blackandwhite #streetphotography #Paris

Instagram post 17843031589851927 Crossing over means confronting the guardian at the gate, the personification of the forces trying to keep us in the village, the ordinary world … A vacation is easy to embark upon; everything has been laid out for us to have a predictable, comfortable, and reassuring holiday. But a pilgrimage is different; we are actually beckoning to the darkness in our lives. - Phil Cousineau #peregrina
