Mixed media sculpture of a playful red salamander. Pseudotriton ruber is a species of lungless salamander native to eastern North America.
I did my best to to create an element of playfulness. I wanted them to seem playful, happy, and without a care.
The Salamander sculpture is available for sale here.

Strange, isn't it? You know yourself better than anyone else, yet you crumble at the words of someone who hasn't even lived a second of your life. The world is filled with people who think they know you. Listen to your own voice. Only you can tell if it aligns with what you want or not.

HAPPINESS IS SIMPLE
“Any moment that you’re really allowing everything to be as it is and your personal will is out of the picture, you’re happy.”
~ Adyashanti
This is the reason often great Master and teacher said - Happiness is Simple.
Then why finding it is a quest for many. Why do we drown ourselves in additives behaviour , dip into depression and flare up in madness ? Let’s look simply -
What we try to find was never lost , it was staring at you , while we were looking everywhere, exhausting ourselves and not taking a pause to rest on it. This looking outside is the conditioning that we have been wired. The belief that tomorrow will be better, the next day is brighter, the next job is more fulfilling, the next relationship is your soulmate, the next life is an enlightened one and the next never comes . Life after life we are circling in a spiral where the exit is dropping everything down , taking that leap of faith, sitting and witness.
When you look into a flower or tree or a rock how often we want to change it . We don’t look in Lily flowers and say If it looked like Rose it would have been better. When accept that Lily in totality. So acceptance is our true nature. We know this already, you have experienced it. One has to replicate it in all aspects of life. Ego will be our biggest detriment, you will keep yourself comparing with others and hold on to the cactus which is bleeding out.
Accept where you are , what you are, how you are . Exactly the way it is . That’s enough. As you read this for the next 1 minute, say to yourself I love myself exactly the way i am . This is my gift to myself. Feel it , smile . And you open your eyes you will see that your heart is softer, breathing is kinder and you are relaxed. That is 1 minute of happiness. Just imagine if you increase your dose what it could do to you !!

I'm almost never serious, and I'm always too serious. Too deep, too shallow. Too sensitive, too cold hearted. I'm like a collection of paradoxes.

We all say so and so is toxic . We call someone a narcissist. We call certain cultures and relationships toxic too.
Do you know these people whom we call with some labels are just like you and me.
In your mind , I am not toxic , I cannot be a narcissist and I am a better human being.
Pause for a moment.
Remember world is mirroring you back what you were or you are. Unless you know ( it cannot be just theory or education internet knowledge, it is deeper) such things in the core you can never say for someone else.
Then you will say I was in one of those environments hence I am aware. Now hold on to that story too.
When you stand next to people who are smokers after few minutes even if you leave them do you know you carry that stink ( ask the people you meet, you may need to explain that you did not smoke you were next to them talking, chatting) . It goes away eventually if you stop going in such an association. Scientifically it is proven that passive smoking is equally dangerous. Which means that such a casual association makes a deeper impact beyond our own knowledge.
In this same way , all of us when we put ourselves in a pedestal of goodness and label situation and people as narcissist and toxic , know you are a carrier too. Good news , with mindfulness we clean ourselves from within and you will fantastically observe that that thought of labelling goes away too.
Use your own toxin as medicine, cure yourself

I am made of little rooms full of thoughts, emotions, and memories. You cannot define me by listening to me once. I’m too complex.
