OLS Reflections Cinquante-Neuf

• An unquestionable way to disconnect is to reconnect with Mother Nature. Connecting always feels so right, so natural, so native, instinctive, inborn and innate. Make sure you always find time for Mother Nature — she likes to be appreciated every once in a while. ⠀

• Ever flickering between a faint glimmer and shining brightly, the creative artist is like a twinkling star. Their time of hiding in the darkness is the fuel that enables them to glow across the sky when the ‘light’ time comes. For them, embodying the significance of their insignificance by being nothing and everything simultaneously is the greatest poetry there is.

• One thing I love about taking photos of people is how to find elaborate ways to make them loosen up and naturally smile in front of the lens, reaching that connection, especially with strangers.

• When people become fully and openly themselves, living their own truth, they will inspire some to do the same. They will also trigger the insecurities of others who are still trying to find a way to become their true selves and live their truths. Down deep inside, the latter know the inner work must be done; yet their egos will often keep looking for excuses to justify their inability, inaction, or lack of courage.

• It took years to realise that the outbursts of rage and fits of anger some people close to me would occasionally get into were nothing but involuntary cries of help masked as emotional expressions.

• Zen simply means a state of meditative absorption. Whether meditating, drumming, painting, walking or doing the dishes, it matters not what activity takes one up there.

• Behind almost anything and everything there is an interesting story awaiting its storyteller.

• Between the drummer and the dancer there exists an invisible, sort of umbilical cord entangling them together through an ethereal, non-physical plane. The beauty of it is that the process is contagious. Because the connection goes both ways.

• Choosing uncertainty with a chance of happiness over certainty with guaranteed unhappiness will always win in my book.⠀

• The more you put yourself in people’s shoes, the more the shoe will fit. One we all are.

“I like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows through a crack
in the concrete. It’s so fuckin’ heroic.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀
