DREAMS COME TRUE
"Buddhism is practiced to make one's prayers and dreams come true and to achieve the greatest possible happiness. The purpose of Nichiren Buddhism is to enable one to realize victory. The fact that prayers are answered proves the correctness of this teaching." Daisaku Ikeda

Three years on after loosing Seana my youngest daughter I find her greatest love lives within me even brighter. Because we lost her, her sister and I found the courage to change the way we relate to each other. Previously it was based around an on going family dispute. She and I found the entanglement of it did not help Seana, so why was any continuation of relating through it going to help us. We moved on, and as a result love each other even more, and all relationships around us have improved.

Because I struggle with illness, and lived, whilst Seana died (we were both in hospital at the same time) I feel an even greater need to be happy and fulfill my dreams. I'm doing it for both of us.

I decided to go back to drawing before attempting my large painting explaining Buddhism. I've completed many drawing to get to this....(see illustration) I am in the process of finishing this drawing of Oskar kokoschka who has been a large influence in my work. I am happy with my style now and will go on to draw others who have influenced me. I'm getting on with my film. and loving my man, family friends and members.... Practicing ND Buddhism for the sake of myself and others and feeling deep happiness amid all that life throws at me - How fortunate am I :-) watch this space for more work.
