Enjoy the Ride

What if we said, "This is the way it is;
this is what it means to be human," and
decided to sit down and enjoy the ride?

Letting Go of Wanting Things

What would it be like to let go of
wanting things to be other than they are?

The Greatest Gift

You begin to hear the secret, that
being fully in the present moment
is the greatest gift you can give
to each situation.

Ram Dass

To Rise Above

Consciousness is key to getting the mind to rise
above the brain's vulnerabilities, which will kill us.

Dan Siegel

Keeping Pace with the Times

I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws
and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go
hand in hand with the progress of the human mind.
As that becomes more developed, more enlightened,
as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and
manners and opinions change, with the circumstances,
institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times.
We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which
fitted him he a boy as a civilized society to remain ever
under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.

Thomas Jefferson

Then It Happens

Photography is not documentary,
but intuition, a poetic experience.
First, you must lose yourself.
Then it happens.

Henri Cartier-Bresson

Enter, Then Exit

Enter through form.
Exit from form.
