“For, Not Against”
I choose to fill my life and art
not with resistance alone,
but with an unshakable yes.

I paint what I love,
build what I believe in,
and live as if the world is already whole.

Each stroke, each gesture,
is a vote for beauty,
for healing,
for communities rooted in soul and soil.

I am for the becoming of humanity,
for freedom shaped by love,
for Earth reborn in wisdom.

This is my practice:
to create what I long for,
to embody what I bless.

Choosing “For” Over “Against”

In a world saturated with conflict and opposition, to live by what we are for rather than what we are against is a radical spiritual practice. It shifts the axis of our creativity from reaction to initiation. “Against” is often necessary in moments of moral crisis, but it tends to root us in the same field of energy as what we resist. “For,” on the other hand, calls forth life. It builds new forms instead of circling the old.

Rudolf Steiner’s vision for humanity was rooted in this generative impulse. His idea of the Universal Human and the threefold social order—cultural freedom, economic fairness, and social fraternity—was not a protest against broken systems but an active cultivation of living possibilities. He saw the human being as a co-creator with spiritual worlds, able to shape the future through moral imagination.

When we orient toward what we are for—beauty, ecological harmony, soulful design, community infused with care—we participate in what Steiner described as spiritual freedom: the capacity to act out of inner initiative, not external compulsion. In this way, life itself becomes an art form, and art becomes a field of invocation, summoning into being what is not yet but longs to be.

For me, this means my paintings, my design practice, and my daily life all serve as living affirmations. They become pictures of the possible, expressions of love for what wants to grow rather than a mirror of what you wish would die away. In doing so, you embody Steiner’s call for humanity to awaken to its creative, spiritual essence and participate consciously in the evolution of Earth and soul.
