essence






the essence of life shall never be known by a human being
as long as that person seeks to observe life like viewer and object.
the absolutely essential nature of life can only be comprehended
by merging fully with the flow of life, so that one is utterly a part of it.
--365 tao, day 208

  2. kass-the universe reflected everywhere! it's a refraction through a vase filled with water sitting on the kitchen counter. kitchen orbits.

  3. Something really erotic in that first shot. Beautifully edited. I think people do some time to be just viewer and object first to differentiate self and other then to realize the oneness.

  5. Of course that is true but it is like an optical illusion where if you look at a picture one way it's different than if you look at it another way. You know those horrible illusions that used to be in the comic section where you had to cross your eyes to see the picture within picture.
