2020 Vision | Happiness

This moment represents a perfect expression of happiness.

Children have no concept of identity or ego - if they are lucky, before the age of 9, they can have an experience of life where curiosity, adventure and pure expressive being is fully alive.

I saw this little boy and marvelled at his freedom playing in the puddle.

No ego.

No pretensions

No looking good or showing off.

Just a free expression of a human…just being.

While on this specific walk, I met by pure chance two gentleman, Aziz and Otis.

The both smiled at me.

Aziz posed without me asking because he saw me smiling taking pictures

I spoke to him.

He is from Egypt.

He lives not far from my home.

20 seconds later, I saw Otis.

“What are you so happy about”, he said.

That question stoped me in my tracks.

I replied; “we are born happy, our only mission in life is to remember”

We chatted for a good 20 minutes and parted after he allowed me to create his Portrait.

Today’s post is about remembering who we are.

We are pure energy.

This ENERGY, is contained with in our human body.

Our thoughts about life, ourselves and each other is the access to the deepest levels of happiness and connection we can manifest and share.

Our only purpose in life is to remember our natural state of happiness.

How we use that energy is part of our day to day expression of life.

We can play in a rain puddle.

Walk the streets with a smile on our face.

I like to practice magic and sleight of hand.

My greatest joy is meeting people and sharing myself.

If I come away with a portrait that seals the deal.

Photography has become a very important part of my self expression.

My recent online programme with Masters of Photography has set me on a new trajectory to discovering my identity as a photographer.
