I’ve been away

There is an understanding of suffering that we all can relate with. But it can always deepen, always a possibility to lose more. But there is always someone who is worse off. Some one else to put things into perspective.

For me most suffering comes from expectations. These structures we build for us to match. Those are the bastards that twist the knife, laughing.

Then they tease me with ice cream.

The Tale of Time

Small Sacred Burnables

A small offering for one of the fire rituals. The goal of this ceremony is a type of spiritual combustion. Through specific meditation techniques, the  passions/illusions would be consumed by the firey Knowledge of the Buddha.

Coming and going

All the different  cultures of the world are so weighted with there own drastic differences. They all have so much to offer in so many ways. But what I’ve always found the most interesting is what pokes through to be the same.

The Mixing of the Modern

How can I separate anything here, from the culture. But this is the experience which is important.

The Glory

It is often that I want to be somewhere else, with someone else. I wish for things, for situations, for ease, for cleanliness, for recognition, for a touch, for support, for laughter. I remember the first day I decided to stop wishing. Time to recommit.

Beginning something

Working with not knowing, because that is what I have. Everything is new. Culture, Language, Food, Tradition, People, Architecture, Landscape, etc. The Sky is the same it seems. The expanse of blue, the clouds floating across, holding me together.

I seem to be like a child reincarnated that hasn’t forgotten it’s previous life.
