micro

[mahy-kroh]

1. Extremely small.

A. Dealing with extremely minute organisms, organic structures, or quantities of a substance.

Many of my interests lie in how the micro and macro are similar. I like finding and exploring those connections.

cosmic

[koz-mik]

1. Of or relating to the cosmos.

2. Characteristic of the cosmos or its phenomena.

3. Immeasurably extended in time and space; vast.

The cosmos is the ultimate macro to the micro. And is the place I turn to rekindle that feeling of awe, of mystery and magic that helps give me perspective and hope.

meraki

[may-rah-kee]

1. The soul.

2. Creativity.

3. The love and/ or essence of yourself that is put into something.

I have been a creative type most of my life, and have been exploring much about creativity lately, especially how to tap into the deepest parts of ourselves, and allow those parts to express in whatever form is most suitable. I have also found art to be nourishment for my heart and soul, no matter how small and trivial the project may appear.

I will always do crafty projects because they’re fun and a can be a form of meditation, but my big aspirations have to do with creating works that come directly from my soul and have the ability to touch others.

I still do not fully know what form these dreams will take, but I have some ideas.

This is one tiny human’s microcosmicmeraki journey.
