There is an enemy more treacherous than any other we will ever stumble across in our lives.
It is an enemy that works silently and has a gret deal of power. It is an enemy that will use any means available to sabotage our lives. We all need to be aware and face this enemy.
If you are looking over your shoulder you can stop now. The enemy is you.
Like the moon, we also have a dark side, which we should learn to face and deal with. More specifically, this dark side is our inner critic that keeps telling us lies. This painting is about the fight against the enemy within.

-----------------------
When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you. � African Proverb
The sword master stepping onto the fighting floor knows he will be facing powerful opponents. Not the physical adversaries whom he will fight (though those indeed serve as stand-ins for the enemy). The real enemy is inside himself.
The monk in meditation knows this. So does the yogi. So do the film editor and the video-game creator and the software writer.
Each day we, as professionals, face the same monsters and chimeras as did Perseus or Bellerophon or St. George.
The sword master advancing into ritual combat has inwardly made peace with his own extinction. He is prepared to leave everything, including his life, there on the fighting floor. - Stephen Pressfield
If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them.
But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.
And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart? - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways. � Buddha
Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger; anger leads to hate; hate leads to suffering.Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose. - Yoda
Where there is much light, the shadow is deep. - Goethe
