The Universe Is Smiling: "Fantasy"

Monika's weekly inner voice drawings:
Q: What is today's wisdom?
A: Ruminate and imagine - making the impossible possible.

- Dr. Seuss

The Universe Is Smiling: "Possibilities"

Monika's weekly inner voice drawings:
I was playing with drawing ONE uninterrupted single line, starting on the lower left and ending on the upper right. I then colored around the lines, creating shapes. The whole experience was very soothing and the undulating line -going back and forth and around- reminded me of the endless possibilities we actually have, once we open our mind and heart to it. Try it! :)

The Universe Is Smiling: "Embrace"

Monika's weekly inner voice drawings:
Q: What is today's wisdom?
A: "Embrace all living creatures ..."

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
- Albert Einstein
