Picture Post



Imagine





The grandeur and slow velocity of reflection imprint a life-time certainty of enduring evolution.  Here in these impervious, immaculate mountains reside the humble specters of time.  He paints a picture God can only reveal and his quiet ancestors calmly watch each stroke.  The canvass is stiff but he owns this moment each to hand and brush yet he holds no wager against the vacillating beauty reflecting sky, earth, and wind. His breath is cold and his cold breath surrounds him.  Ice and death encircle the shadows escaping only when pushed aside by sunlight and sunlight radiates in ghastly air around him. And the ripples of silty water rush forward against the mineral gray lake to meet with happiness and warmth.  Long ago these fragments of Earth were but larger parts of one another and they like us remind humankind of collectivity, solitary, and dissolution.

As The World Turns

Yohan returns to South America, haww yeah!  And how the tides they swell and shift and the opportunities they ebb and flow. My sweet and most wonderful girlfriend has decided to join me and we couldn´t be the happier.  Three weeks ago we flew into Santiago, Chile, and have since been traveling southbound.  In Santiago we went to the local zoo and saw all the cheerful animals in lock down, other than that we spent some time reading in the local parks and catching a few beers in the dodgy bars around town.

"There is no need to search; achievement leads nowhere. It makes no difference at all, so just be happy now! Love is the only reality of the world, because it is all One, you see. And the only laws are paradox, humor and change. There is no problem, never was, and never will be. Release your struggle, let go of your mind, throw away your concerns and relax into the world. No need to resist life; just do your best. Open your eyes and see that you are far more than you imagine. You are the world, you are the universe; you are yourself and everyone else too! It's all the marvelous play of God. Wake up, regain your humor. Don't worry, you are already free!" - Way of the Peaceful Warrior
