In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the organ of the heart is the ‘emperor’ of the body.
When the heart is in balance, the whole body is in harmony. When the heart goes out of balance, so does everything else; there is dis-harmony, dis-ease.
TCM tells us that the heart houses the Shen (spirit, or ‘original soul’), which influences mental clarity, emotional well-being, and relationships.
Psychology tells us that romantic love is a ... "state o...

the first image is of my grandpa who was an incredible poet and immigrated here from lebanon. he loved deeply. most of his poetry is in arabic. it reminds me of rumi and hafiz and khalil gibran, who he loved. he died during covid. he loved to dance and i love this photo of him where his hands are so grace full it appears like a spontaneous mudra. he wrote me a poem every year for my birthday except when he got sick. thinking of him as im turning 30 next week. thank you to the ancestors who wo...

the queen of swords denotes the perceptive wisdom gained through difficult experiences. becki embodied this archetype so gracefully. it’s a blessing to make art with her.

I DON’T KNOW
who i am. who you are.
and that is amazing.
imagine knowing?
how boring.
i pray we see eachother
with fresh eyes in each moment:
no past, no future
in the fertile space
at the end of the exhale,
we can lay down our ideas
about eachother
let that all die and
here is a new face,
a new opportunity
to meet You

Autumn is a time of letting go, of yin, rhythms, of preservation of the space at the end of the exhale. Of change, of the wind, and the sunlight becomes more golden still. “Yin teaches us the wisdom of surrender. Yin chooses to yield even when everyone else is getting ahead. Like an inner earth, yin is the soil in which we gestate our dreams, refine our intuition, listen to our bodies, and come into the stillness of our centre. When actions arise from the receptive still point they hav...
