Constant in life is the collection of moments. We are travelers through layers of mind and spirit with glimpses of love and beauty that nourish us along the way.\u00a0We love who we love, still, we are constantly in flux as our hearts and universe grows and expands with appreciation of what we have,\u00a0what is passing away, and coming to be. Transformation is linked to evolution. It is not wise to be overly nostalgic, yet,\u00a0we own, through who we love,\u00a0a spiritual emotional wealth [exponentially]. Although it is believed that attachment can be a\u00a0hindrance, we need to remember as we teeter on our\u00a0promontory to\u00a0enlightenment\u00a0or sit centered in the Dao, that our relationships are teachers providing a reason for deeper\u00a0humanity to prevail.\u00a0\u00a0Inner joy derived from loving who we love, keeps our wills strong as the waves of life demand we grow and change.<\/p>\n

One way to collect these relationships is through the modern passion for collage. Art houses, galleries, dorm rooms, bedrooms, and\u00a0bohemian enclaves, indoors and out, become colorful sketches of the lives we live.<\/p>\n

In my own family, we are travelers around the globe. Our diversity of location, life path, and art of living may vary, however, there is a shared cord of deeply\u00a0held, personal\u00a0environmentalism that runs through us and our expanded family.<\/p>\n

There are many ways to do collage. My favorite is film. Film can capture and record light in multidimensional form. Light found in all directions of the four winds and into\u00a0radiating of\u00a0personal relationship.<\/p>\n

My son Zach tells us that family is a state of mind, inclusive of others, who share as kindred spirits,\u00a0\u00a0enriching our convictions, visions, and deep moments of experience in living on this planet thrown into space.<\/p>\n

In these collections of our family I include our close loved ones, to capture the commonality\u00a0we all employ — organic locally grown food, bikes, oceans, sky, snow, and flowers. Real shamanic experience is about nature. The natural world that nourishes our emotional terrains\u00a0through which we style our art of living.<\/p>\n

We cocoon in unconditional love and flow out in\u00a0individual\u00a0artistic planetary expression through such\u00a0experience. Collage captures the cocoon as one welcomes, the\u00a0remembrance of\u00a0these natural worlds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
