green living (limited edition print) · Ometepe / Nicaragua · 2014

This print is part of my collection "life, love, and that whole humanity shebang" which celebrates my 13th rebirthday and travel anniversary with 13 previously unpublished prints in limited editions of 13, signed and numbered, in a 13”x13” (33x33 cm) square format.
 
13 years ago, I traded home for the world. A great deal, if not without sacrifice. What started out as a one-year baby-trip is now a teenager. Just enough time to learn 13 little lessons about life, love, and that whole humanity shebang. I shared these half-baked brain muffins here, and each one is accompanied by a print to drive that lesson home.

Here’s lesson #3: whatever you choose, coincidence chooses you
 
We like things to be predictable and plannable, but without divine skills those attributes are above our paygrade. We’re merely overengineering a cage to capture the mirage of a controllable life. Life can, does, and will change from one moment to the next without us having a say in it, and I’ve learned that in the softest and hardest ways. For the key to survival in an inherently chaotic world, read on here.
