Lines to capture the complete circle of life.

The process begins within the self.  Shed all the material.  Loosen the reigns on the monkey tyrant that commands the direction of thought.  What's left is a block.  A block can take infinite forms, but it must always return to its uncarved state or it will become rigid in the mess of the world.  The return inwards is compounding.  When one is ready to mold themself and take responsibility for their behavior it feeds back into the block's shape where the truth is evident.  Consequently, it's the temporary, studied form you take that makes way for the possibility to make an impression, a proverbial sketch, on the inner workings of a peaceful life.
