I believe that the world we live in is what we make it. Paradise or hell comes from our own state of mind. We choose to be happy or sad, see events in our lives as shattering or challenges. One person’s island paradise is another’s Alcatraz to be escaped at any cost. Layer upon layer of a lifetime of events give us meaning as if it were a personal pair of glasses we see through accepting it as reality.
I see in layers so I work in layers of materials processes and meaning. The universe I believe is laid out that way. Galaxies are made up of layers of atoms yet if we look at each atom it reminds us of the way solar systems work. I find it all amazing. Nothing ever really is lost it just reforms as with mater changing into energy.
