Layers of Understanding
Understanding is a virtue requiring generously giving of time, patience, respect and gentleness. Understanding is digging deep beyond the obvious.
One has to travel through the emotions of listening with the heart, hearing the spoken and unspoken...
In the image, the colours of the layers symbolise characteristics: green is kindness, yellow is appreciation, gold is forgiveness, blue is truth, lilac is compassion… All of these ingredients (and more) are necessary for true understanding.

Mountains of Love
There are so many types of love in life:
A parent’s love for a child, the love one has for close family, a friend, a pet, even a stranger. Love can be gentle, silent, kind, platonic, passionate…
If one gathers together all the love in all its forms given to them since birth and then add to that the love one has given to others, mountains of love emerge all around us.

Believe
Believe, Believe, Believe… in Kindness… in Hope… in Miracles…
This image of candles represents the Irish tradition of lighting a candle for one's own and others' intentions. It focuses on our innate need to feel the warmth of someone’s kindness; to believe in hope, to believe in miracles. It is often kindness and hope that sustains us.

The Journey
Walking a Path that is Only Your Own…
This drawing seeks to make us reflect on our journey in life…to ask ourselves the question: am I on my own path following my own unique truth or simply following the crowd? We need to continually ask this question of ourselves so that we are not swept away on the rollercoaster of life and left with regrets when we arrive at our destination.

Counting Miracles
Count the Dewdrops, Count the Waves, Count the Stars…
Count… and Count… and Count the Miracles…
This is an image of beads which are used to count the positive blessings in a person’s life. If one can think of ten personal blessings, it can change one’s mood. When someone takes the time to think of a hundred positive things, it can change one’s perspective on life. These thoughts can include favourite tastes, smells, sights, sounds. For example, the taste of raspberries, a child’s smile, a leaf dancing in the breeze… Once we focus on the positive everyday things that we often take for granted, we discover the wonder of the world around us.
