What ever you decide to do. Make sure it makes you happy.

Truth is not conformity with what we call being, but rather the kindling of a light within being. I am in darkness and seek the light; I do not yet know truth but I seek it. By this very fact I affirm the existence of Truth and light, existence in another sense than the existence of the world’s realities. My seeking is already the dawning light, and truth already beginning to reveal itself.

Nikolai Berdyaev, Truth and Revelation (via philosophybits)

Don’t allow yourself to be a victim. Take control of your life. Let go of people who serve you no good. Start doing things to make you happy.

Box that is not a Box, Nakamura Takuo, 2016, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Japanese and Korean Art

open box-shaped form made of 4 L-shaped panels overlapping on base; dark abstracted iris design in black, gold metallic, silver, burgundy, purple, and blue glazes Nakamura Takuo lives in Kanazawa, a culturally rich city located on the Sea of Japan. In his work, he attempts to link the traditions of three hundred year-old Kutani ware and an aesthetic sense associated with artists of the Rinpa school with a modern sense of form. This work belongs to a series of works the artist calls “utsuwa ni naru koto o yameta utsuwa,” which literally means, “vessel not a vessel.” Its surface is decorated with colorful irises, a motif deeply associated in Japan with Ogata Kōrin (1658–1716), whose work inspired the Rinpa school of artists. Size: 18 ¾ × 14 × 13 in. (47.63 × 35.56 × 33.02 cm) Medium: Stoneware with polychrome glazes
