"We are not born of our own will

But we can still will happiness and fulfillment into being

The meanings of happiness, of being are broad

And the paths to them are infinite

I have sought many paths to fulfilment, of purifying - gently - relentless unwilling energy and to summon instead a world replete in delight. Strands of shared spirit are woven through our minds and bodies.

At first glance, we may seem separate entities, but tendrils of human contact tug this way and that. They forge across from an unseen world into our more familiar, tangible world.

The path I've embarked on sets out through both these spaces, on a motion grasping at an absolute truth, at happiness.

I seek to draw figures that illuminate you, to use my voice to share your tales such so they are amplified and resonate.

My creations will magically embrace and awaken.

Even if I vanish, I will still persist through my art and the pursuit of love."
