My Fearless Garuda

AN AFFIRMATION OF SELFLESS LOYALTY

 

My fearless heart

Of diamond clarity

Where expression and thought

Are proof of your bravery, justice and swiftness

That cut through ignorance and malcontent

To reveal the pristine awareness of being

Where the freedom of the mind

Is like the sweet chorus of the birds

Sometimes the reinforcement of gracious qualities and love can be a good thing.

So I decided to start an Album on Flickr doing just that.

I like to take shots of the things I have collected over the years that are sharing their presence with me in my home.

 

Some of my Grail shots have this quality, but often the poem ends up being longer than an affirmation, to me they end up more like a prayer. You can see the Album that contains those works in my Flickr account as well.

 

But in a sense this is the same principle, as the things I have collected over the years often have a sacred presence or meaning, so I thought I would start to share them here.

 

On rainy days or when I am not in a writing mood, it is good to still keep working, using the camera in this way, and it is not only enjoyable, it is an opportunity to appreciate these wonderful sacred items and sculptures all over again, and listen to what they have to say.

 

This Garuda is a modern piece, but the history, energy and protective instinct is the same as from his first incarnation.

 

This shot is from where he resides, in my glass cabinet, where I keep many other precious things..
