POINTERS FOR EXPLORATION
THE ARTISTS
Dancing barefoot, arms surrendered in the air, like a bird’s wings - on the rope between spirit and form, the tangible and the intangible, the magic of being, and the battle of doing - is a gift without which, life, would not be life.
Being an artist is like being alive and dead, at the same moment.
It is in our ability to feel and make love.
It is not needing proof or explanation, but trusting the truth of the forces that move us – the forces that create us, and then, without exception, destroy us.
Transform us.
Being an artist is acceptance of the frailty of life.
But it is also in the discovery of freedom in that same frailty.
And in the expression of its beauty, with all its lightness and terror.
THE SCIENTISTS
We are seekers.
Such is the human condition, and, what makes us feel safe, most often than not, is the proof that something is real.
An atom. An electron. A star, bursting somewhere in the cosmos. A breath.
A kiss, sometimes, and sometimes, a fall, a cut on the knee, or a bruise on our heart.
A testament to our existence.
Scientific discoveries offer us that proof, and tend to make this search more bearable - the journey clearer - and bring nature, with all of her chaos, might, and beauty, closer to us.
It is in that closeness, that we find that we are not alone.
And we are not separate.
We are beautifully intertwined.
We are nature.
THE TEACHERS
Everything is a teacher, if one is open to the teaching.
Everything is a mirror, as well, if one is open to the reflection.
And everything is love, if one is open to accept the inexplicability that love bares - the transcending of space and time, the infinitude of being - though what we've known might be
no more - and the subtlety of awareness, amidst the chaos of existing.
​
Human beings who've dedicated their lives to pass on the truth - different in form perhaps, yet universal - and to guide us through the waves of our experience, are all found on this page.
Here, to support us on the journey, and to remind us that life is here to be lived with awareness, and deep, compassionate love.
