What is seen is not the Truth
What is cannot be said
Trust comes not without seeing
Nor understanding without words
The wise comprehends with knowledge
To the ignorant it is but a wonder
Some worship the formless God
Some worship His various forms
In what way He is beyond these attributes
Only the Knower knows
That music cannot be written
How can then be the notes
Says Kabir, awareness alone will overcome illusion
Kabir. Illusion and Reality.
sometimes the reality doesn't match the pretty picture...

Is Second Life "real" for you? I would like to know...

ok my typography skills suck but like I was tryin to get the point across :p
Perched on cosmic anvil, flesh against frost,
He forges existence from chaos lost.
Mountains bow, stars hang on his breath,
This naked god, master of life and death.
Aurora bends to his will, a verdant crown,
Reality shivers, awaiting his noun.
From meditation's depth, worlds unfurl,
In his mind's eye, galaxies swirl.
Muscles tense with power unbound,
Shaping destinies without a sound.
Each thought a universe, each breath a law,
Creation trembles in silent awe.
In this frozen throne, he sits supreme,
Weaving the fabric of all that seems.
Master of matter, sculptor of space,
He manifests worlds with infinite grace.
Tomorrow is Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day! Yay. You know I'll be out there with one pinhole camera or another.... or several.
Anyway, a passing shot I made while wandering the Reed College campus a while back. I really love how the upper pinhole on the Reality So Subtle 6x6 can distort perspective just so. I daresay I like using this camera's upper pinhole more than I like using the centered pinhole.

Please excuse the image quality. This shot was taken from a moving car. About the only way houses get any paint in rural N. Peru is to allow political ads be painted on the houses.
I finally got around to both taking a shot and processing it in time for the Dailyshoot challenge
Todays assignment was "Make a photograph of the front of a building today. Could be your house, the bank, or city hall. "
Of course me being me I had to do a twist on it and got this shot of a part of a front of one of the buildings in the Tudor City part of Manhattan reflected in the mirror of a motorbike
Thanks Steve for the gentle reminders each day about the dailyshoot challenge

Today's story and sketch by me #1393, is another exciting story about two more Zombi Scarecrows, that mysteriously showed up last night, on our Tropical Volcanic Planet we call Budahunga, they probably dropped out of a dimension portal. Where they were picked up, on what Planet or what Dimension, would be interesting to know. This phenomenon of Scarecrows, and other spooky things, like batches of Punkn's Spider's has been occurring quite often lately. Undoubtedly because some entity that controls the various Black Holes, Dimension Portals, and the Big Blue Dimension Dust Devils, and many other time and space phenomenon, that rewrite reality. Must get a kick out of dropping things on Budahunga. We have just flown to the scene, Myself Deputy JB, and Arlo, a recent arrival, who himself was dropped out of a Blue Dimension Dust Devil last month. Arlo is very knowledgeable about all things Zombie, having spent time on many Agricultural Moons, where the Rutabaga farming is done by Zombies. Rutabaga's, it seems are a favorite food of Zombies, who knew. Also true, Rutabaga's are it seems, a favorite snack of the Ravenous Rutabaga Ravens. Until next time Tata the Rod Blog.
The growing sense of the ineffable that reaches and curves toward the light of an ultimate reality can never be transplanted into the shallowness of mere reflection. Torn out of its medium, it is usually metamorphosed like a rose pressed between the pages of a book. When reduced to terms and definitions, it is little more than a desiccated remnant of a once living reality.

back to reality... the here and now!!!
i am standing in muddy waters in the middle of my street after yesterday's daytime downpour of our rainy season. most rainfalls happen during the night, so I could not show you how each north-south running street in Ajijic becomes a river running down from the mountains into the lake.
no, we are not flooded here, this is totally normal, it’s how our lake refills itself every year after the 9 month dry spell and why our curbs are so high in this village -
and it only takes like half an hour until one can cross these streets again...... unless you have rubber booties like me (((:
but yes, there were times when leaving a restaurant after some elegant evening dining, we had to step right into this muddy water.... with our elegant sandals and shoes, to walk home or get our cars! (((: (a true story!!)
