Detachment involves present-moment living – living in the here and now.
We allow life to happen instead of forcing and trying to control it.
We relinquish regrets over the past and fears about the future.
We make the most of each day.

The imagery is floating and peaceful. I like the color palette you are using and the use of the medium for this illustration is intriguing to me. I wish I would see the live result to feel the texture.
