This image I made many years ago has kept coming to mind lately. It is a painting I call “White Dragon.” The feeling I get when I think of this image reflects what I wrote in a poem of the same name.
I think the world needs people who have a sense of a white dragon urgently right now. In fact, I believe a white dragon is part of all of us. We just need to open our inner eyes, our Tao eyes, to see it.
White Dragon
I am a white dragon
Invisible to the eye;
I live deep in the ocean
And dwell hidden in the clouds;
My home is nothingness
Everywhere and forever;
I listen to music of the cosmos
And sing songs of the soul;
I belong to nowhere
Attached to nothing;
Stars sparkle
Winds blow quietly;
I breathe with the children
Wrapping myself around Bell Rock;
I am cosmic energy
I am cosmic mind.
What do you feel when you gaze upon the strokes of the “White Dragon” painting?
Editor’s Notes:
- The poem “White Dragon” was published in Ilchi Lee’s book, Songs of Enlightenment.
- Dragons are powerful beings in traditional Korean culture, and white is traditionally a spiritual color.
- The Bell Rock referred to in the poem is a famous rock formation in Sedona, Arizona that is thought to be a strong energy vortex.
