Artist's Description
The quotation that inspired this painting is "When you boil rice, know that the water is your own life", which is a Zen Saying that I have now done twice. The first one didn't satisfy me. Zen sayings do not have a right or wrong interpretation and how you understand them really is more about you and where your head is at the moment (I think?). This is what this painting has repeated to me - I'm pretty sure I already knew it, but need to remember. The first time I did this quote I thought it was about expectations.

Hi Deli - Thank you for your comments. A woman at the Xmas JAC show told me that they have done experiements and have found that water has "memory". Interesting idea.
