“1073. Whirlpool by Cliff” Oil painting by Mariko Irie <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since I was a child, I love to watch whirlpool in ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just staring at whirlpool for long time. Actuary I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t pay attention to the passing of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just follow colors, lights, stream of waves movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a wonderful world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just realize that it is a meditation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empty brain, thinking nothing, focusing on now, this moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
