Ty Meier Pins and Buttons

drawing and painting by Ty Meier.

An intensely detailed very large stream of consciousness meditation exercise about creative process, one of the secrets of happiness.

Ty Meier drew this over two years; it's a intensely detailed very large stream of consciousness meditation exercise. It's full of quotes about his philosophy, like "You were probably not born a genius, but becoming one is a pretty good use of a lifetime". Everything is related to the good and bad things about Catharsis, finding joy in life. Good Catharsis is finishing a large project. Bad Catharsis are self-destructive habits.

“...The world was really one bee yard, and the same rules work fine in both places. Don't be afraid, as no life-loving bee wants to sting you. Still, don't be an idiot; wear long sleeves and pants. Don't swat. Don't even think about swatting. If you feel angry, whistle. Anger agitates while whistling melts a bee's temper. Act like you know what you're doing, even if you don't. Above all, send the bees love. Every little thing wants to be loved.” ― Sue Monk Kidd

An intensely detailed very large stream of consciousness meditation exercise about our having a philosophy above that of ones needs, one of the secrets of happiness: Maslow's hierarchy of needs is across the top, with "Transcendence" dominating it. Rise above your needs.
