Dharma Comics

24,960 views
Leah Pearlman loves to dance, loves to draw comics, and loves living in San Francisco. Leah started drawing comics when she ran out of words but still had something to say. When she started drawing comics, the only thing she could draw were stick figures, and that had to be enough. Now, these stick figures are quite nuanced, but Leah could never have gotten here, if she hadn't started with what she could do; honored that; and taken the next step.

Leah is a sweet incarnation in a lineage of editorial cartoonists - artists who convey ideas and feelings with humor and good-nature. One of those bright lights was Al Ross,

Leah started Dharma Comics in her quest to reflect on moments of deep personal truths. Reflect on your own personal truths. What do you know for sure?

She reconfirmed that the simple things in life that can change a person is usually right under our noses or in front of it! Yes, honor all that is in our presence! Mahalo!
Sherry

Dharma you push against the social embrace of pessimism, judgment and the unacceptable. You are a part of what I hope to be. As for now I can watch and embrace my own appreciation for the good and beautiful in the world.

To: yasmine (who commented about how your heart is full of anger.)

A woman named Alice Herz Sommer~ a 108 years young and Holocaust survivor said:

"Hatred eats the soul of the hater not the hated"

I think similarly your anger is eating at you. You deserve to be happy. In my life I have seen the affects of abuse on good people and forgive me for saying so but if someone in your past has hurt you. Sexually, mentally, emotionally etc. And the acknowledgment and treatment of this abuse goes unresolved it can fester into a corrosive and destructive force that ruins peace in ones life.

Namaste yasmine. In my heart I pray you find peace and happiness as you heal.

well....I have been "feeling" my way into my art for many years, just like Leah does, but I have not done so well at owning it until the last couple of years when I just gave up and opted to own my crazy paintings. It feels good to see this video...it is inspirational to see how beautiful truth can be, even if it does not fit the ideal picture of beautiful. What is REAL is what is good, even if its bad. That's the paradox. This is the beauty of the irrational numbers in mathematics. A doorway to the infinite that allows change, and love.

Dear Friends! I am humbled by the love in your comments. Thank you for your kind words. And i can't possibly describe the happy dance i do when i remember (over and over) that it's just by doing what i love, i seem to be of service. I mean, "what!?" It's just the coolest thing ever.

Also: Rishio, the friend who made this video. He too, is following his heart by making videos about passionate people. He too, started by watering a seed of his heart's interest. And i consider it such a great service to those whose stories he tells and those who get to be inspired by them. (http://blog.rishio.com)
