Description
"Human beings are blessed with a mind that is directly connected to the mind of the Universe. This is known as Reiseishin. The moon is clearly reflected in the water when the water is calm. In this same way when our mind and body are unified and calm, our Reiseishin manifests itself completely. Once this happens all suffering and wicked desires fall away, and the Universal Mind of love and protection for all things appears in us. Let us strive to realize Reiseishin." - Koichi Tohei Sensei11x14, Ink on Canson, approximately 35 hours. Birthday gift for my Aikido sensei.

Beautiful work! You must have great patience to complete such an intricate piece using pointilism.

Beautifully drawn. I think just sticking with ink works pretty well with this piece.
It seems that a lot of life's philosophical reflections are best described using circles.
Unfortunately, although we belong to the universe just like everything else around us, we seem to have quite a bit of difficulty connecting to the universe. We have to learn how to become connected to the universe. Which makes life feels like being stuck in the running wheel belonging to a hamster cage. Circles represent ideals, but also represent this running wheel.
