'Nursery of Desire' Watercolor by unASLEEP

Nursery of Desire came at a time when I briefly played around with masking off certain areas, and seeing how it would affect the results.

I also experimented with flicking rubbing alcohol onto part of the paint, resulting in what appears to me to be gaping, screaming mouths caught in a bubble, or perhaps composing a planet.

It reminds me of how we are trapped by our desires, never finding happiness there because happiness is not within the transient realm of desires.

And we must remember that if we desire something, the counterpart will also arise: You will also have the potential pain of NOT attaining those desires. We chronically overlook this, but the Truth is, you can't have the 'joy of having' without the 'pain of not having'. You can't have one, without the other. The two go hand in hand. Instead, rejoice at whatever you find in your garden TODAY, and have no sadness when it is gone, for everything always changes. Transience is the true nature of all that we experience here, including us. To not fear this transciency, you must only see the Big Picture and know the story really never ends. It is Eternal. YOU are eternal.

So, smile at what lands on your doorstep. Welcome it.

Peace-
