Sincerity and Devotion

至
誠
This is the idea that you enter into something with the utmost sincerity and fidelity. Ideas such as devotion, honesty, and "one's true heart" are also contained in this word.

This is a universal word as the Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and Korean Hanja are all identical

I have been getting the characters for my paintings from orientaloutpost.com
It's amazing how the language and characters  have these layers of meaning.  I will have a loose idea and then be transformed just reading the different character's meanings.
