I originally drew this in 2000. A reiki practicioner wanted to know how I felt on the inside. I didn't know how to tell her but went home and sketched this and originally colored it with oil pastels. The coloring was crude and primitive now that I look back on it but people liked it especially the reiki lady. I wanted to put something on TheO so I decided to redo the drawing. I am not an artist, not even an amateur. I asked my daughter for some assistance. She did some shading and helped me decide where to place the colors on the lotus. This was done in my daughter's copic markers, copic multi liner pens and manga illustration paper. Who knew something so simple who take so much time.
