JUNE

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man” - Heraclitus

For me life is not about security or money; but happiness is the joy I share with others on the road of freedom and adventure. I thank the world; the special people in it who continue to influence me with their plentiful gifts. I thank you; teachers, friends, lovers and lost ones for sharing many things with me.

June is the celebration of freedom, friendship, love and global connectedness. June represents the visual journey of my life lived between multiple cultures and continents. It questions the approach to life in the western world; where often death is feared. Death in many cultures is a celebration; the pinnacle of life has been reached; and the evolution of becoming begins. The circle of life; yes is the end of the physical body, but also the releasing of the soul whilst feeding the needs of another physical body. In other words, the end is also the beginning. The same can be said of many aspects in life, including love. The end - is also an opportunity for further expansion. Sadness is the contrast learned that allows for happiness. Fear does not prevent death. It prevents life. It's taken me many years to realise that freedom is the biggest gift of all. May we all be free!
