It is my belief that we put ourselves in prison with our minds, our thoughts and our actions.
I suggest not seeking freedom or peace but Allowing freedom and peace. If that is what you crave then practice feeling that and allowing it in.
Take time everyday to do some meditation and spend time with nature. You will find peace in your thoughts when you know you create them.
I also would like to add be the change you want to see in the world is the best place to start Tina.
Peace, Freedom and Solitude start with you.
Your truly have the power to change your perception. In doing that your feeling about life will change. Hold on to that feeling and find new things everyday that will help you spread that feeling. Ask yourself "What have I done today to bring freedom, peace and solitude to the planet?"
That may be your life purpose... to bring Peace, Freedom and Solitude in all you do. Your art is certainly a start in the right direction.
