From The CEO
THE 'ARTISTS' MIRACULOUS CONCEPTION OF VARYING OPINIONS IS ONE THOUGHT-TEN THOUSAND YEARS-INFINITY! THE UNIVERSAL PRESSURE IS VOLCANIC! WHAT A DELIGHTFUL FICKLE OF THOUGHT PROCESSES FOR EVERY OPINION HELD REVEALS A DESIRE OF THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HOLDS IT, FOR OR AGAINST ANYTHING AND/OR ANYBODY, TO BE EXPERIENCED BY THE WHOLE OF HUMANITY. THE HIDDEN DESIRES OF THE 'HUMAN' BEING KEEPS EMERGING PRODUCING EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING TO THE HUMAN SPECIES. WE 'HUMAN' BEINGS ARE THE CREATORS, 'ARTISTS' INCOGNITO AND SO IT IS! WE MAY CONTINUE TO DO WHAT WE DO IN 'THE EVOLUTIONARY EXPRESSIONISM OF LIFE ENERGY' UNTIL WE DO IT NO MORE! AND SO IT IS!
WE INSPIRE THE 'I AM 'ALL THAT THERE IS AND WHEN 'I AM' NO MORE I SHALL CONTINUE TO BE ALL THAT THERE IS! 'I AM' THE LIFE! 'I AM' THE LIGHT! 'I AM' THE DARK! 'I AM' THE WAY! IT IS SO, 'AS A MAN THINKETH', A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE THAN 'AS A MAN THINKETH', IT IS SO! THE 'ARTISTS' INFLECTIVE REFLECTION MUST BE FEARLESS, NOT FEARFUL, ACCORDING TO SIMPLE TRUTH, HONESTY, CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY. WE ARE PLAYFULLY DESPERATE WHEN WE SUBMIT OURSELVES TO THE MEGALOMANIA OF PREPOSTEROUS GREED! GREED! GREED! THE GAME OF BLAMING ANOTHER FOR THE BLAME IS ON 'ME/YOU' GAME, ONCE AGAIN, WHO AM I? AND WHY AM I?

PHOTOGRAPHY ART EXHIBITION BRAVO, BRAVA!  Miles Davis A PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER Govinda Gallery in Georgetown, Washington, D.C.  Finland Lapplander When thinking about William Coupon; the resounding archives of 'Human' consciousness brings forth from within the annals of time, Thomas Bodkin, Barber Professor of Fine Arts in the University of Birmingham; Honorary Professor of he History of Fine Arts in Trinity College, Dublin in a 1947 statement about the paintings of Rembrandt Harmensz Van Rijn - in an introduction to 'Paintings By Rembrandt' collected and edited by Professor W. Martin, Former Director of the Royal Gallery of The Hague - we likened a living, 'WILLIAM COUPON: A PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER', - "In range of subject, in dramatic power, in sympathetic knowledge of humanity, in technical accomplishment, Rembrandt resembles shakespeare more than does any other painter. Both men were welcomed as Masters by their contemporaries. The prestige of each dwindled for a period after his death. Each is now held in comparable and unassailable fame. Genius of such high quality must eventually win due recognition by the world at large: but it does not follow that it will always be properly appreciated by individual intellects. Shakespeare has had some most unexpected detractors. So has Rembrandt. Ruskin asserted that it was "his aim to paint the foulest things he could see – by rush light". Descamps declared that he was 'quite devoid of nobility and ignorant of the resources which poetry provides' Yet Delacroix, at a time when his reputation had a long way to go before reaching to this present height, guessed that "perhaps they will find out that he is a far greater painter than Raphael". Few, if any, modern critics would disagree with Sir Charles Holmes, who described him as "the most profound interpreter of the human soul who ever handled brush".

The exhibition at
Govinda Gallery in Georgetown, 1227 34th Street NW • Washington, DC 20007 is worth the effort to see at this point in time.  Borneo Penan "In 1992, I was invited to photograph the world’s tribal leaders during Earth Summit, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I was asked by the United Nations and the United States Congress in November of 1994 to exhibit this work in the United States Senate Rotunda, as part of the UN’s Year of the Indigenous People. These are exhibited in large archival IRIS and Inkjet prints. In addition to this personal work, I have worked extensively in commercial photography and film. I have photographed 15 Time Magazine covers – including portraits of all the Presidents since Richard Nixon. These include the Clinton and Bush Person of the Year covers. Newsweek covers include Michael Ovitz and Jerry Garcia. Rolling Stone Magazine covers include Mick Jagger, George Harrison, Jerry Garcia, and Neil Young. The New York Times Sunday Magazine covers include Secretary of State Shultz and Elie Wiesel and a major investigative article on the Turkish Kurds. I have photographed some of the world’s leaders including Benazir Bhutto, Yasser Arafat, Kofi Annan, and Prince Phillip, and have won several awards through assignments for Esquire, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, People, Details, The Economist, Texas Monthly, Playboy, Forbes, Fortune, and many other international publications. I have completed major advertising campaigns for Nike, FedEx, Transamerica, Ford, Japan Airlines, Amgen, Searle, Blue/Cross/BlueShield, Apple Computer, Maxell Audio, and most recently working on the global corporate ad campaign for HP through Goodby, Silverstein and Partners. I have done major corporate campaigns for Merrill/Lynch, The Washington Post Company, Morgan Stanley, Harvard University, The New York Times Company, McDonnell Douglas, and the Johns Hopkins University Hospital. I have an extensive catalog of environmental portrait color images - the collection including numerous celebrities and politicians."  Sardinia Woman "I have directed television commercials for Danon Yogurt, and documented my ethnographic series on digital video. I worked for nearly a decade (1985-1994) with Issey Miyake, the Japanese fashion designer, doing men’s wear for the Japanese market and photographed numerous album covers including Bette Midler, Ron Carter, Stanley Turrentine, Isaac Hayes, Essa Pekka Salonen, Chou Liang Lin, Midori, Daryl Hall, Foreigner, Wynton Marsalis, and Yo-Yo-Ma. "I have an extensive doll collection and through their graciousness, have been allowed to photograph their image with 4x5 digital equipment as well as the large 20x24" format polaroids. Other projects include a still life series : "Life Stills" and a large format Polaroid series of Nudes: "Nudes Without Clothing." A book is forthcoming, with the working title: "Social Studies." "I had the major exhibition in the summer of l995 at the Gerald Peters Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico entitled: "Ethnographic Pictures." The collected work has been exhibited internationally, most recently in Amsterdam, Holland at "Gallery Art and Commerce" as well as the Kurdish portraits from "Social Studies Sixteen" at the Hotel de’ Ville in Paris, France – both in mid-2004.

ALAN NIXON 'THE BLACK ADONIS OF ART MODELING'  
 
   Mr. Al Nixon... Q: In retrospective of your multifaceted sojourn from birth to now; who are you, what are you, where are you, and how did you get here? What are your observations, thoughts, lessons and insights that specifically manifested during the unfoldment of your 'ArtModel' career that you would like to share with us today? A: I am an individual who seeks calm and serenity. Laid-back, unobtrusive and carefree, I like to keep things simple. Unnecessary confrontation and drama are not my thing. Modeling allows me to just "be" and to focus. It provides an opportunity to reflect and plan for the future. Q: Now that you have arrived at this particular juncture of your life's sojourn as an 'ArtModel' on the grand stages of life, how have the experiences and/or influences helped to pinpoint, shape, mold and develop your concepts, ideas and perspectives about the creative process of art modeling in today's art world? A: If anything working as an art model has heightened my appreciation for what I used to view as merely beautiful imagery. There is so much more to it than that! Since I've been doing this work, I have gained a greater understanding from both the perspective of the model as well as the artist of the creative process. When I view art work now, I see so much more because I now fully comprehend what goes into it! From inspiring your audience with the dynamism of a pose to exposing them to emotion through gesture, art modeling has enhanced my world view. Q: What specific artistic themes are interwoven into recurring projects or new visuals of you by 'Artists' focused upon and noted throughout their body of ArtWorks? What is the primary physicality traits you possess that attracts 'Artists' to do a male figure? What professional requirements do you look for in working with groups (institutions) and private sessions? A: First and foremost because of my physique, the prevalent theme involves musculature and variations on that theme. I have a well-defined muscular physique which I imagine has been the primary physical trait to which most artists have been attracted. I look for reputable, well-run institutional and private drawing groups that maintain fair policies regarding the model. If I sense that an institution or group offers little or no regard for the comfort and well-being of its models, then that is not a place for me! Q: What inspired you to take an interest in art modeling, and who was the person(s) most instrumental and encouraging of you to pursue this creative path? What are your feelings about having chosen to visually share, uncover and/or reveal aspects of your 'Human' Being's inner life's energy as an 'ArtModel'? What are or have been some of the criticisms you've heard and/or experienced as a male model? A: Art modeling has just been a natural progression form the type of photographic modeling I had been doing. The major difference was the amount of time required to maintain a particular pose. I wasn't inspired or encouraged by any one particular person. I am extremely comfortable with myself, and "visually sharing, uncovering, or revealing" myself as an art model is not only natural but really quite comfortable. The only "criticism" I commonly hear is "When are you gonna take a break? We (the artists) need one!" Q: To what extent does 'Humanity' and its versatile culture(s) comprising the world-at-large in which we live, impact and/or invoke you to fully express, expose and give of your soulful experiences, perspectives, insights, emotions and imagination; to strike the 'Human' nerve with brilliant, buoyant, vigorous and dynamic presentations obviously uninhibited by nature; motivating creative works you've done and are doing? A: My presentations are without question completely impacted by the world in which we live. I use what's going on in my life and the world around me to draw from as I create expressions for the artists to capture. Q: As the model subject captured by 'Artists', what methods, techniques and styles do you draw upon to create, connect and bring forth projected qualities in truth, honesty, character and integrity through the display of symbolic motifs that emerges and compels a creative person(s) to forge ahead regardless of struggles of the 'ArtModel'? A: I am especially inspired by the exquisite grace of Grecian and Italian sculptures. I also seek to capture and interpret the flexibility of ballet movements in my work. Q: What is your most difficult or ultimate challenge as an 'ArtModel' and 'Human' Being today? What else, if anything you haven't mentioned, can you share in how you are coping, dealing and transforming these difficulties? A: My ultimate challenge as an art model and human being today is to maintain at all times a strict sense of professionalism. I don't ever intend to arouse or in any way seek to do anything while modeling that would be deemed inappropriate. Meeting this challenge continues to be comfortable and feels right. Q: During the maturation of understanding the unification and communion with all living things through your work, what are the specific qualities that distinguishes you as a desired 'ArtModel' to work within the creative circle of 'Artists' at this present stage of 'The Evolutionary Expressionism of Life Energy'? A: The greatest distinguishing factor continues to be my tenacious energy and its impact on the artists with whom I work. It seems to inspire them. For example, I use the energy from other forms of life as an influence on my posing. I can be animal-like, for instance, and exude the regal grace, imperial disposition and overall feline temperament of a lion. I use my long locks and the rest of my body to convey the strength and dynamism associated with these commonly respected or revered beasts. I can be as stalwart as a strong oak and express optimism or stability through quiet yet powerful branch like extensions of the arms and legs. Q: What additional wisdom can you impart to the up and coming generations of 'ArtModels' following in your footsteps, crossing bridges you've built, proceeding a pace with dignity in facing the pros and cons in their process by achieving creative goals and artistic endeavors as yourself? A: Be true to yourself and maintain your dignity. Don't ever do anything that makes you feel compromised or uncomfortable. Strive to set yourself apart by figuring out what you can convey that's fresh, unique and different. Allow yourself to release your inner-energy. Q: Finally, when reaching within the deepest depths of the deep when all is said and done, as well as transcending beyond the boundaries of 'Human' psychological constructs regarding male model figures used as 'ArtModels', what do you want the populous of this century to ultimately experience and understand on the whole? A: I'd like to encourage breaking through the mystery and perhaps fear that seems to shroud us. It would be refreshing if more acceptance of the male nude were to develop. Sadly, society trends to shun this image, and that is very frustrating. We are very grateful to Mr. Nixon for this opportunity to bring his visibility as an 'ArtModel' to the world of today. Thanks a mil'! Amazon Books:
Appreciation & Gratitude
We sincerely appreciate all the contributions on every level in support of our efforts to collectively bring about joy, happiness, loving-kindness, peace and goodwill to all of Human Kind. Now is the time and the time is eternally now to give thanks, for the whole of creation to continuously bring about an harmonious convergence for the sake of humanity.

What is there to say which has not been said or repeated infinitely. Nothing! Then the question is why has mankind knowingly debased the 'Human' species to a level of total ignorance in the use of accumulated knowledge and wisdom? What is the reward for this destruction? LIFE! The whole of life encompasses its component parts without reservations, therefore, it is an impossibility that mankind is a threat to self-realization. We are not in control of the outcomes of life. The in coming factor is essential to promote and continue the unfoldment process of the 'Human' species. The accumulation of data is ultimately unimportant because the information gathered is an exercise for growth and development in 'The Evolutionary Expressionism of Life Energy.' The actualization of 'God-man' personified is imperative in order to understand that we, 'Artists' do not need to understand but explore, investigate and discover the infinitude of Creation Creating Itself. Everything is present in this very moment. It is here, right now, before the mind's eye. It is the question that inspires who we really are as the free spirits traversing through multidimensional realities.
What is it? Why is everybody moaning and groaning about the very things happening in the world in which one is living when one is the Creator of all the things happening in the 'Human' world. Since all life is death, is it not true then that all death is life? When saying what one is saying in hopes of concealing what one is revealing under the guise of saying what one isn't saying, revelations occur from what is being said without the need for hope. We, 'Artists' can trust that in recognizing what one is, it isn't somebody else's recognition. We are greater then we think we are in the very scheme of things. Why are we playing small? FEAR! Everybody is a messiah, a messenger of Creation. There isn't any one of the many ones to be separated into halves without being first of the whole. Don't take the duality on, be aware of the accompaniment of its illusions, that sum of some body 's 'People' who wants to sabotage one's unified field of creativity. The infirmities of silent pain usually ends up in a rage of anger out of a frustration so bitter and isolated that revelation happens beyond all dissatisfaction with satisfaction. The inner state of mind brings about an open state of heart through universal language transcending words which never truly explain the 'Human' Being's role in Creation 100%. It is a phenomenon to experience through all words that transcend the 'WORD' itself, and the 'WORD' was, is and will be, UNKNOWN.
We, 'Artists', need not become consumed by the trivialities of the world that we, 'Humans' have created because 'ALL OF CREATION'S MANIFESTATIONS' are fleeting. The question with detachment enables the soul body to explore and rise out of the ashes through the towering infernos of the mind's capacity to cope with it's obliteration of illusions. It is a pickle that this radiant life energy residing within all things, integrating, permeating all things, moment to moment is existence manifesting the universe. The unknown self discovering itself becomes the riddle of life itself and we are that riddle. The light substance seeking and initiating birth is the essence of being personified. The spiritual plight of the mind, body and soul being is to materialize temporary forms that provide experiences through sense magnetism and pulsating elevation. We, 'Artists' are designed to go where we have never gone before but somehow we have deceived ourselves into thinking we are highly intelligent and privileged creatures who do not have to do the necessary work to advance our selves beyond illusion's enslavement. We have fallen into a loophole of self denial and demise. The perpetuated condensity of matter has slowed down the rhythmical vibrations necessary to spiral faster in pace with this ever expanding universe for the greatest evolution of a 'Human' specie upon this earth.
We, 'Artists' can sense and feel something is missing in this evolutionary process, therefore set out to seek and find the repetitive cycle which stagnates progress toward ultimate self-actualization. These involutionary cycles can become bogged down with data-in-formation overloading the communication's system sporadically deleting archives of knowledge in order to process what is pertinent in this quest. The feeble reason, rational and logical strengths of personal knowledge has faltered tremendously is due to annihilation of an innate ability to be what we truly are by nature in the formation states of transience. It is apparent that we are blocking the dynamics of the quest to be free spirits by deliberately prolonging the 'Human' drama and experiences in the bondage of thought reality. Of course, this is an impossibility. Life is life conceptually understood because we come and go in and out of the 'Human' form consistently, like clock work, which continues this quest of choice to be or not to be.
We' Artists' must open the channels in the universal mind and let the essence flow consciously throughout illusion's internal conflict which is geared towards collapsing the universal wholeness by an imposed double standard of 'Human' hypocrisies. Indeed, the amount of insight that is needed for the 'Human' race to rise to the heights ordained by nature seems insurmountable. We, 'Human' Beings are demigods; trodden upon the earth. It seems the man kind of selves becomes the epidemic of an ineptitude for the conquest. The evidence that everything we do is essential within the dual zone for qualifications to be, or not to be! The very structure of an embodied corpse compressed by guilt, shame, sin and pity termed 'People' is substituted for the 'Human' Being. This delusion should constantly be unmasked for what it is; the jailed; the terminal banter; the suppression of natural feelings oppressed by man. When one talks about everything conflicted everything appears to become overwhelming on this world. When 'Artists' observe the forged resistance vying for control over the masses then we can truly own up to the 'Human' decision to be, or not to be!
The delusion of warring is no more! It is what it is! The quest to cease and desist the battles of duality is the searching soul's request for that which is natural, infinite and yes, an energy field of resounding possibilities without conflict. The transcendent spiritual energy knows it's freedom without jeopardy or sabotage. The mental fights between thoughts controlling mechanisms that govern the mind and incites friction becomes resolved. The greatest of all is to master ones mind and not to become a slave to it while passing through physical and psychological planes. The imbalances imposed produce constriction of the energy flow that interferes with the harmonious convergence of nature's equilibrium. We feel these molecular wave patterns shifting within the sphere's solar system constantly attempting to find an equilibrium; however, the corruption is so severe to the energy field that repair is difficult but essential.
The quest for life and life more abundantly is a boomerang effect true enough. It must persist in order to thrive, expand and continue 'The Evolutionary Expressionism of Life Energy.' Since the inception of the 'Human' emergence into form we 'Artists' have been on a sojourn to travel infinitely as spiritual beings through creating time and space continuum as a medium. The affirmatives are evident by looking around and seeing what is presenting itself. The world of thought is continuous and we are the builders of it's tangible reality through imagination. The mind of wonder proceeds without hesitation to overcome all attempted prevention of its quest to explore, discover and create with an unremitting determination; but life is pure energy and infuses the mirage of artificial intelligence unconditionally.
The silence never goes away and nothing is golden until it is allowed to be silent. The incessant push - the big push - into mess and confusion can be eliminated when each 'Human' Being volunteers to help 'People' to become the one selves again, to be the 'Human' Being. We are the living documentation of this superficially critical mass; its life, liberty and divine happiness as a think tank within 'The Evolutionary Expressionism of Life Energy' for all who are reading these very words are 'Creators' creating as 'Artists' to do what is happening here and now. This evolution is to be exalted to the zenith for 'God-man' to be realized as one, not two, which compels the noble virtue of impeccable character to prevail. 'I'M' easy - 'I'M' not pushing for the future and 'I'M' not dragging or pulling the past simply because 'Hu - man-kindness has been seeking an outcome of God, instead of an income of 'God-man' consciousness.
The universe is the spiritual domain. It's extended manifestations sustains the immensity of life's creative unfoldment which renders incredible 'ArtWorks.' We must adhere to the natural principles guiding the forces of nature through temporal creativity's expressions. It is the actual experiences that are valuable not the memories or chasing a dream which is having a dream. Are the things we, 'Humans' are doing, detracting instead of rejuvenating, invigorating and revitalizing? NO!
What a wonderful day to die, therefore, 'I'M' about the living of today. YES, to be, or not to be concerned about the day one dies, when one is only to be concerned about the day one is living, is a matter of fact and not a fact of matter. It is the stuff, stuff, stuff and more stuff to eliminate! The cube, the box, the coffin and the grave, where it takes the 'Human' life ultimately everybody knows is unknown until it is known. Life is a lot to cope with in its intricacies of dualistic reality as one manages profusely day by day to transcend transcendence itself by constantly transcending into a state of sublimity. Every Body is free to create what is happening to it and this is why freedom is an experience not a commodity. It cannot be bought and/or sold which is contrary to the populace beliefs. Like all words which are exemplary of what is here and now, the language is loaded with contradictions and double entendres, for explanations do falter, with all encompassing and all pervading concepts, ideas, etc., which appear to work but never do because life cannot be controlled nor defined as anything but is everything creating life itself out of nothing. Do not suppress anymore anything emerging from duality, for all duality is one thing of the same reality.
The 'Artists' when focusing on the well-being of one's 'Human' consciousness, create greater results than the great results of a divine order unsurpassed by illusionary states of existence. It is affirmative that in a mad world only the mad are sane, therein, ignorance is bliss as innocence in deed. Yes, it is life's prerogative to always attempt to express that which is inexpressible through words and works of art; as an integral proliferation of 'Human' intrigue for self-expression is transcending carvings of dualistic resolutions for a single expression in multiple manifestation's viewpoints. All creation is counterproductive in this way. This understanding is important in order to keep creating products of useable useless use for the evolutionary expressions of life.
What is the argument of non-argument? It is contrast and harmony which makes for the sublime duality of beautiful grotesque effects and causes of 'Human' kindness and compassion during 'The Evolutionary Expressionism of Life Energy' in order for one to live a life of perfection. Although few 'Beings' have achieved this fulfillment to be masterful of perfection itself, it has not prevented one from living in perfection. "I'M" an 'Artists' traveling through infinite forms as the life energy that "I AM", doing what I do and that is enough. No more and no less, not even imposed equality alters 'All That IS', when looking at the surface images of 'Human' existence. Everything shows the ways of freedom which hasn't any issues to uphold in order to be fully alive. I AM FREEDOM OF FREEDOM ITSELF...to do everything done in the world of 'Humanity' for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do we part! "I AM" UNWAVERING IN TRUTH! TRUTH SETS 'ME' FREE...TO SIMPLY BE, therefore, don't make a me anything that is responsible for that which "I AM" not responsible in this illusion of reality.
The fallen angels rising to flight are divine creative 'Beings', who do not sacrifice the selves to idol gossip and/or trivia pursuits. We, 'Artists' are materialized to master creation. We know we don't know and yet the tip of the iceberg is no more when all is melted into the ocean of infinity. There are no questions to which one does not know the answer when we know we can no longer live sheltered in the quest. We do realize it is what it IS; the strength invariably turns into weakness and weakness invariably dissolves into oblivion. It seems that everybody wants to be heard but no body has anything to say of import. We all like to argue the point of truth; when one really can't argue the point of truth when one is the point in truth! It all leads to another blank page - now create! one day in time leads to another blank page manifested in time as another blank page..., big times, small times all around the world! Everybody sees everybody going some where, some place, some time...here and now!
The intelligence of which one works within the world can be minimized or maximized depending upon the willingness of the individual with the capacity for truth. The inactive action domain of the 'Human' specie is 'The Evolutionary Expressionism of Life Energy' which sketches drawings of impressions invoking the whole purpose of living ultimately without purpose at all which evokes a quest for meaning. Its amazing after all the fighting, disagreements about everything, one still succumbs to departing this earth unscathed. ITS ALL REVOLUTIONARY, EVOLUTIONARY, INVOLUTIONARY LIVING LIFE'S 'IS'... therefore, feel the feelings, experience the experiences, they are all fleeting... today's accomplishments regardless were yesterday's impossibilities, so drink and be merry for no more followers following followers into the ravines of self doubts and fears in the name of the 'People' is necessary. When one surveys the world at large one may rejoice with tears, a flow of compassion in the eyes for the suffering 'Human' Beings put themselves through! Echoes, always echoes, upon earth suspended in space for the living to hear, not for the dead to fear. We are 'Artists' of all mediums.
....John J. Steven Cole

Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904)
Amazon Books: Fantin-Latour
"Creativity represents an innate capacity we each have to enter‚at will‚an altered state of consciousness similar to the one we might entertain on an ideal day at the ocean. The elements seem to conspire to relax and refresh us. Time stands still before the endless movement of waves on the shore, the flight of birds overhead; the rhythmic interplay of wind, water, sand and marine life seems to have gone on forever. And we know it will endure long after we die. For a moment within time, we are not disturbed by its flow but surrender to it in trust. In accord with the will of nature, we experience peace of mind. In that altered state which is so akin to creativity, time moves and stands still all at once. Like a bird airborne, we pause in magical flight beyond time's reach and glide suspended over the uneven terrain of life, uplifted by the coexistence of two realms of being, the physical and the transcendent."We Celebrate Life as the Earth Children of the Golden Light!

A Kind Word
From a bud, only a promise
Then a gentle opening:
Rich blooming, bursting fragrance,
The fulfillment of the center.
True beauty comes from within. Take a flower as an example. In the beginning it is only a bud. It does not yet show its loveliness to the world, it does not attract bees or butterflies, and it cannot yet become fruit. Only when it opens is beauty revealed in its center. There is the focus of its exquisiteness, there is the source of its aroma, there is its sweet nectar. In the same way, our own unique beauty comes from within. Our glory has nothing to do with our appearance or our occupation. Our special qualities come from an inner source. We must take care to open and bloom naturally and leisurely and keep to the center. It is from there that all mystery and power comes, and it is good to let it unfold in its own time. Just as a flower goes through stages ‚ bud, open, bloom, pollinate, wither, fruit, fall ‚ each of us will go through the obvious stages of birth to death. We aren't of a single character throughout our lives. We change and grow. Our identities unfold and bloom. Unless we attain the center and keep to our progressions, we cannot ever reach true independence in our lives.

VIRTUAL EXPOSURE
Day flew rather quickly
During virtual reality
Then evening return
Departure with more
Mental activity and slightly
Off center,
Energy over missed frustration
Of not getting the information.
Release, meditate, still the mind
Slept, awoke, groggy,
Time to focus.
A bit of painting exercise
Rehearsal complete
Won't feel rushed
Opening night and new moon
Sun effects aforementioned
And early afternoon will today
Thought gallery space locations
Projected ahead of time
Various exposure
Grand style befitting
Goals, purposes, mission
Building from within
Growth and development
Value fulfillment
Stimulating conversation
To be missing
So often
In groups.
