Laying down my own foundation, building myself up to a stronger version, to a future which is already mine because now I am evolving! . #ikigai #生き甲斐 #japanese_proverb #it_is_about_willpower #senseofbeing #meaningtolife #values_and_beliefs https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz4_IABJcYx/?igshid=9ki2gelwm5ro

Works in process, physical marks made In various metals. Laid out like a lost language, finding phases in loose compositions. #materiallanguage #worksinprogress #smallworks #lostlanguage #landscape #language #phrases #objects #flatware #sculptural #expressive #senseofbeing #materiality #materials #metal #metalsmithing #metalwork #stuartcairns #artist #maker #smith #silversmith #silversmithing #metalsmithing #workshop #making #fabrication #appliedart #artistlife

What is achievement? What is goal? What is accomplishment? These are the things that simply mark my path in order to go further after one event or efforts had finished in that moment. Not to be taken as a symbol of successfulness and greatness but as a humble reminder for constantly moving forward with open heart, humility and beginner's mind that we, as humans are always changing in order to master the way of adapting towards many things in life. That was me, in one of yoga teacher course on the graduation day. This beautiful, ohne ende cycle of 'the end is the beginning is the end is the beginning' portrays the infinite impermanent in life. Let many wonderful aspects in life happen to us, yet learn how to let them go and pass through us with grace and smile. Cherish and embrace these moments completely. Be grateful. Practice detached awareness. "Do not cry because it ended, smile because it happened"... #contentment #happiness #senseofbeing #thetimeisnow #simplybe #gratitude #bliss #yoga #yogalife #ytt #graduationday #throwbacktime #tbt (hier: Lembongan, Bali, Indonesia)

The video's interplay of powerful imagery and inspiring messages resonate strongly. The actions speak for themselves. Each video frame zeroes in on a specific discipline, creating a crescendo of movements that culminate in a general message: being there is what matters most. Taking part is more important than winning, and in order to partake one must give one's all, bringing their own set of values to the field. That is The Sense of Being. What's yours?
