"'My radio"' , by Erik Pevernagie, oil on canvas, 80 x 100 cm

My radio is a valued friend informing me about the news in my vicinity, giving me my place in the world, and offering me a sense of wellness and safety.

My radio can be a daily companion, supporting my confidence, analytical thinking, furthering empathy, awareness, and giving me breathing space.

Good and conscious breathing regulates active and logical thinking.

Critical thinking with a factual approach to the fundamental life questions is the undividable cornerstone of our authentic presence in the world.

When we 'inspire' intently and breathe 'consciously,' we can instill the 'inspiration' that guides us to create a fearless future. We can then 'expire' infinitely, emanate insight and thought, and deliver others' tools on the sideline.

By uniting the thirst of our mind with the pureness and wellness of the air we are breathing, we can take possession of the most profound fibers in our being, imbibe its hidden primal forces, and transcend all irrelevant trivialities.

Everything is in the mind. The power of our will constructs our future. We must, therefore, pride our brainpower and stimulate our imagination's vibrancy to create an ideal rhythm and perfect quality of life.

Instead of the terror of indecision and the fear of oneself, empathy for all living creatures and respect for nature can help us save the world. When we inspire others and awaken their integrity, the waves of good vibrations flow into our minds.

Truth and trust can be redoubtable travel companions, though. We must give way to doubt in life, but doubt must not fill the whole room.

Let us express our confidence lavishly. In the construction of human relationships, trust can unlock bolted hearts and evaporate groundless suspicions. It has the power to uplift us and detach us from material calculations. We put it on hold for a while or, furthermore, deny it if there is manipulation in play.

With"Radio Ga Ga," "Queen" & Freddie Mercury protest against the stupid, idiotic, and annoying radio broadcasting content: Radio GaGa, Radio blah blah., asking the broadcasters: "not to become some background noise, a backdrop for the girls and boys, who just don't know or just don't care, and just complain when the radio is not there."

The radio is a dependable friend who must stay "we might miss the radio when we grow tired of all this visual," inspiring Lady Gaga to borrow her name from this song
