The Book Is A Creation Of My Imagination In Relation To My Life And Journey Behind Bars. Through Artwork I Manage To Escape This Life Of Pain And Suffering! It Started Way Back In 1995 When I Met Berry Bryant From The Samaya Foundation. While I Was Serving Time At The Juvenile Facility Camp Gonzalez Right Off Of Calabasas By Malibu Ca. He Was In Charge Of A Project And Program For Non-Violence. Along With Him Came Some Monk'S From India That Were Originally From 'Tibet'. His Teachings Were The Art And Culture Of The Monks Like The 14-Dalai Lama And The Sand Mandala. A Mandala Is A Wheel Of Compassion Created In Different Colors Of Sand Which You Pour In A Char-Pur. A Chak-Pur Is A Cone-Shape Metal Funnel That You Use To Draw. It Was Through That Experience That I Learned Patience Peace And Tranquility; Which I Never Imagined Would Help Me In A Big Way Later On In Life. So The Book Is About Finding Freedom Peace And Tranquility Through Artwork In The Midst Of My Confinement.
