“Complicated world, complicated words. The best way to communicate is silence, but even silence can be misunderstood. I stand here saying nothing. Why can’t you understand my silence? I’m standing here screaming my head off, but no sound is coming out. I have to accept that no one can hear me. I’m invisible, I’m soundless. Within my world, and only within my world do I exist, but out here, no one can see me, no one can hear me. I’m the only one here, screaming my head off, in the most beautiful, silent sound. Loud am I, when nothing can be heard. Silence is my language till everyone learns to hear. Listen and feel the silence within you, without you.”

“Hope follows me wherever I go, but Hope is my biggest obstacle. She keeps me focused on the future, focused on becoming. Despair is holding my hand, he keeps me stuck in the past. Hope and Despair walk hand in hand with me, happily distracting me from what I am, distracting me from reality, inviting me to look anywhere but here and now. Hope acts as my friend, Despair acts as my enemy. Sometimes Despair feels more comforting than Hope, but they are the same character with different clothing. I’m here, I’m now, I am reality and I have the power to turn down any and all invitations into the land of illusion. Hope is just a thought, and so is Despair. I alone is real.”

“Colour and light playing seriously on the canvas, making stunning pictures. Breathtaking, wondrous, silent, wordless signs, leading to your inner self. Feel. The painter has given you a key to your own universe. It brings you silence in the midst of your tumultuous world. The world is full of signposts, find them, take them in. Cherish them, breathe in the moment. Naked, vulnerable, fearless, silent. You are here to meet the I.”

“I’m the music in my ears, sound, hear, disappear. I’m the trees I see, moving, not moving, swaying in the wind. I’m the touch of invisible hands when I’m drowning, grab, stretch, hold. I’m the scent of jasmine in the summer breeze, intoxicating, longing, calming. I’m the taste of honey, sweet on the tongue, smooth, happy. I’m the thought of nothing, embracing, peaceful, alive. I’m everything, life, home, peace. I’m nothing.”

“Have I lost this battle? Am I still a worthy warrior, even though it seems like a never-ending war? The war is between my mind and the truth of what I am. It’s a one-sided war that can not be won until I lay down my weapons and realise that we are on the same side. My war is in my head, and as long as the fighting is going on, there will be no peace. Truth is my ally. Truth is within me. Truth is me. I am truth, I’m silence, I’m the silent warrior for peace.”
