A human being is a part of the whole called by us "the universe" a part limited in time and space.  He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of consciousness.  this delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest to us.  Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening the circle of understanding and compassion to embreace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty >Sir Albert Einstien

create destroy harmonize

your body is literally on fire inside
buring up the oxygen you suck into your lungs

you didnt actually cut down the trees used to make your house and furniture, 
but you colluded with their demise

Then there's the pyschological liquidation you've done
killing of old beliefs you've outgrown, for instance

I'm not tring to make your feel guilty--just pointing 
out that you have a lot of experience with the positive expressions of destruction.

pikake

we met behind the trash can. 
i took her home to meet my grandmother.
i photographed her
and slept next to her that night and the next day.
admist my confusions and everyday trippings over sensitivity..she brings me peace..sweetness to reality... nihe-debiru

Visualize yourself being able to recognize the raw truth about people you care about, seeing how they already embody the beauty their souls' codes have promised as well as how they still fall short of embodying that beauty.  Imagine yourself being able to make them feel appreciated even as you inspire them to risk changes that will activate more of their souls' codes.

things with wings......



baby japanese white eye.

she, tiny 
would fit into those plastic easter eggs
she fell from the mango tree
into the grass
i almost stepped on her
squeaking
her mama and daddy screaming nearby
so i let them take care of her
they led her up the tree
she falls again
i watched this happen 
all day
daijoubu kana.....
i dont know how i could have helped her....
 ...click on the photos to see them up close...
love.

Balance is to locate the still point at the center of complexity.
Balance is to be in a constant state of sensitive fine adjustments
Balance requires exquisite sensitivity to inner and outer forces.
Balance requires yielding and resisting, yielding and resisting...
Balance cannot wait
Balance appears spontaneous and improvisational but is utterly responsible and devoted
Balance is thwarted by pretense, also by insistance
Balance knows both this and that and prefers neither
Balance is opportunistic
Balance finds a home anywhere, finds the center everywhere.
"Balanceing" is more like it then "balanced"
balance is a state of mind and body and spirit that manifests itself in the actions of our mind, our bodies , and our spirit.
balance is homeostasis, is dynamic harmony, is ecological well-being
balance is what nature requires, sooner or later, at all scales , of all things, micro and macro

Balance has a flip side= imbalance

imbalance opens the door
imbalance knows excess
imbalance is always immanent, always in the wings
Balance is opportunistic in its own way, imbalance wins by default
imbalance is almost all except for the fraction ceded to balance now and again
imbalance is indolent, achieves by carelessness
imbalance is the child of time
imbalance is what Nature requires, sooner or later at all scales, icro and macro
So is balance 

Imbalance: the sea Balance : the perfect wave
Imbalance: everything over time
Balance: everything outside of time.

gold fish

24. my golden year...
. i have my own house for the whole month...for free.
with an open lanai that looks out to the ocean. private beach. 
perfect weather. good company.  always full belly. beautiful family. no credit card. no kids. no waking up at 4am!! 
so other than the occasional? daily toothache (no job...no insurence..)
i've been placed in heaven for the time being
learning
bout finishing
nesting resting testing 
feeling cleaning thinking thanking
and making

love.
