I seek a life in balance, a mix of work, spirituality, freedom. It is a difficult thing to have, life is always tilting out of balance. I seek a life free of argument and hostility, it is everywhere. I seek a life free of labels, they stunt the mind and separate us from one another. I seek a creative life, but not a life of isolation. I wish to understand the marketplace and come to an understanding with it.

I seek love in my life, and new experience. And friendship and connection – the desire, I believe, of every human being? This photograph is important, I see it is very much in balance, Red, the sheep, the barns, Lulu’s crossing, it suggests to me the symmetry I seek in my own life. What is it that I seek in life? What does it mean to me to be a human being?

Our world, every world perhaps, throws us off balance almost every day, as does life itself. The spiritual life is about knowing the center, finding it, returning to it. It is not about never having to find the center, but rather about how one does it.

Life intrudes. I am frightened sometimes. I am angry sometimes. Argument sometimes pursues me. Life is complex and challenging. Every day, I return to myself, I am always there, getting stronger and more certain and more honest every day.
