"Empty Mountain, Fresh Rain" is that moment — every time we pause,
 empty ourselves, and begin again.

 

"Empty Mountain, Fresh Rain", together with "Awakening Spring", and "Seeking the Hermit", 
"The Light Boat Has Passed" forms the philosophy of life within Eastern culture —

the beauty of new life, the setting out after rain, the searching after setting out,
the loss after searching,

and at last, after ten thousand mountains and rivers,
the single instant of letting everything go.

 

Western culture analyzes the truth of the world. Eastern culture explores and gathers what lies behind that truth.


The West is Yin.
The East is Yang.


The East is Echo.
The West is Spiral.


Together, we are one shared Tai Chi.

 

Inner Energy Art

The highest good is like water — water benefits all things, without contending.

In The Way of Water, I speak with water through my heart, watching and learning, over long stretches of time, the way it flows.

Using the technique of acrylic fluid painting, I walk within the spirit of ink wash.

Here, colors meet, dance together, and merge — becoming, at last, the painting held within my heart.

I call it: Inner Energy Art.
