Another Drawtober picture that took a little longer than I had wanted, but that's okay! This one features my OC Crystal with Chase Young from Xiaolin Showdown! ^-^ They're having a lovely stroll through a park or some woods on a beautiful fall evening.

Many spiritual teachings talk about detachment or non-attachment and it’s often difficult for the western mind to grasp the essential meaning. At best it seems dull and at worst it sounds numb, uncaring, or unfeeling.
So I have a fix for you:
Whenever detachment or non-attachment is mentioned, think of transparency.
Imagine your whole body and being to be like a perfectly clear, transparent crystal. Whatever light shines on that crystal will illuminate it in its entirety.
But all of that light will exit the crystal just as smoothly as it had entered. None of the light gets stuck or attached within the crystal.
In our living moment of human life, to be detached or non-attached means that we allow everything to strike us as it is. Our whole experience, whatever it may be right now, is nakedly illuminated. But just as it flows in, it also flows out.
Call it non-stickiness or non-attachment or transparency. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that you receive this teaching and write it upon your heart and the surfaces of your mind.
It is a fundamental point to embody if you wish to be peaceful, happy, and free—and to remain that way!

Wow, it’s been about 6-7 years since I designed Crystal! Her original reference needed a lot more refining and to be replaced with something more accurate. Now I have her designed exactly how I want her. I simplified and tied her color palette together more! Enjoy! (She still has her Phoenix form I just couldn’t fit it yet. )

September 21 ‘22 | meditation session
I was feeling so Zen and cute this day. The hostess said I carried a lot of “what now” energy and I needed to continue searching for what truly makes me happy and take a hold of it, even a small piece for a little while. She said it’s hard for people like me to find their sense of self and they often wonder what it is that they are meant to do. I tend to drift off in so many directions but instead I need to look within, sit in the quiet, and do Zen meditation instead of searching for some outside acceptance. It a necessary practice.
