Mawandajai by Darryl Brown
“Light and life are love that circles inside itself. We are little illustrations of the two-dimensional consciousness of the color and the dot that behaves like the particle atom. One dot we observe, the other dot we do not observe, as the circumpunct, when taken as awareness, becomes a wave. The bubble represents the love of our consciousness, and this is what shapes our reality. Bubbles of light and love are what create our space and time. Life and love are not solid but rather the constructs of our universal mind. We are both, but cannot see both, as we cannot see our own eye.” -Darryl Brown
