more and more clarity, revealed. loving awareness illuminates non-truth, until all that’s left is Truth: pure consciousness — (self portraits)

in the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind, both inner and external stillness/purity is revealed. like a polished mirror, there is no room for confusion or doubt. right away! clarity, awakened: here, now. still, seeing more clearly implies losing some things. is this worth it? see for yourself…

‘old friend’ [series of 5 photos + poem]

‘old friend’


only in sitting

with one’s own

anger, rage, violence

can the realization emerge

ah, this isn’t an ugly monster

this is a crying child

dying to be nurtured,

noticed—

see me. see me. see me.


then, one day

unassuming silence

stillness.

dissolved without a trace

an old friend gone away

who may be back one day

but this time

no more laye...

blushing, blooming, dawn-tinted flushed fertility

inhale spring up the spine and into the heart. fecund spring. orgasmic spring. gentle spring. intentional spring, an impulse slowing down, moving gracefully as if through water.

Valeska by the river in Rishikesh

i am river. i am stream. i am gushing. i return to stillness.

thank you, river. thank you, trees. thank you, air. thank you, sun. thank you, earth. thank you, body. thank you, lungs. thank you, heart. thank you, mysterious divine essence.

despite the chaos, it felt like a dream here. here are some āsana photos from the abode. next stop, tomorrow morning: rishikesh. also, i have been reading the news and feel to say this…

prayer for the world;

om. lead us from darkness to light.

lead us from ignorance to enlightenment.

lead us from fear of death, to knowledge of our immortal essence.

peace. peace. peace.

it is nice

to let go.

last night —

involuntary prayer

all is holy—

pay attention

Her presence

ephemeral

fertile, vicious,

wanting, giving,

erotic, innocent,

abundant, embodied

hollowed, full


and not for a moment

do we speak of photography

the mysterious nectar that fuses us

an obsession, a divine affair

with witnessing. observant —

words will not do. the immediacy


the spontaneity

is art making

effortless ...
