Haiku Ellipses...Invitation...Response...

IGNITED ignited in black comes the multi colored rays reaching toward the light some religious/spiritual traditions suggest that everything finds it orgin in the black void of limitless possibilities, that our consciousness and intentionality bring things into being from this place...in the image below, the black void is depicted at center with rays of consciousness/intentionality calling forth light of multi colors...all happening at the speed of light in infinite directions...mindblowing possibilities! practice...in meditation, sitting comfortably, breathing easy, letting all thoughts/feelings/sensations float by like clouds across the blue sky...coming to a place of quiet blackness/darkness/peace...eventually, some THING emerges from this place...what is that for you...what does it symbolize...what is the message for your life in the here and now...what is it calling you to DO...how can you honor the call by taking one small step in that direction...  

COLORS shapes alternating look 2 circle then 2 square mind controls colors the alternating shapes in the image below create a hypnotic pattern, and when the mind thinks about 1 of the 6 colors, the circle and square representing that color come into focus, thus the mind controls the color we see. there is a host of information on the internet about a phenomenon called "manifesting"...what if all we need is already here, in the field, we just don't "see it" until we bring our attention to it by thinking, pondering, meditating on it...then our awareness finds the thing we are looking for! ask for a simple 1-word sign about something you want to know...leave it open-ended as far how it will manifest as an object, where it will manifest, and when it will manifest...then let go of the intention to manifest the sign...see if the sign shows up somewhere in the next few days...an actual object, a topic of conversation, in a music video, in nature, in a book or magazine,...

INNER 2 OUTER inner 2 outer ovular rings that vibrate come inside of me from our inner core we vibrate outwards in ever expanding rings that move at the speed of light towards infinity! the obvious sexual metaphor suggests ovular rings vibrating from a female core, inviting a male vibrating core to "come inside of me"...the tug, pull, push, and rapture of natural desires and needs. what is vibrating at your inner core...who/what might this inner core be calling/moving toward or inviting in...what can you do to align with your inner vibrating core in the next 5 minutes?

SPIRALING spiraling outward in ever greater circles smiling entities when water drains in sinks, tubs, and wells, it spirals counterclockwise toward the earth...in this image, multiple spirals start at the center and move outward, eventually coming into the fullness of smiling entities. Richard Bandler, in his version of neuro linguistic programming, describes a technique of spiraling one's index finger, either clockwise or counterclockwise, to increase/decrease the intensity of an emotion or of energy in a specific area of the body...try it for yourself...when happy (like the smiling entities in the image), see if you can increase the intensity of the feeling of happiness by spinning the index finger of your dominant hand clockwise/counterclockwise (one direction will increase the energy, the other direction will decrease the energy)...you can also experiment with increasing the energy by spinning your finger faster and/or in larger circles (or for negative emotions, to spin slowe...

COL ORED BA LLS  colored balls spinning  inward, outward, with each breath wheels of chakras for our entire lives, we breath,...in and out...about 6-12 times a minute, depending on our circumstances and mind-body connection...ancient wisdom suggests that chakras are energy vortexes that spin throughout our bodies...here the chakras are depicted as colored balls...continuously changing, adjusting, balancing...our breath can assist or crack this healthy balancing of energies. practice: note how you're feeling on a scale of 0-10, with 10 being a state of optimal well-being...then observe yourself while taking 3 conscious breaths seated or standing comfortably with eyes closed...inhale to whatever count feels comfortable and exhale about twice as long...check in with yourself at the end of the 3 breath cycle...re-evaluate on the 0-10 well being scale...compare this number with the first number...did the conscious breathing nudge you in the direction of well-being (a higher number...

10 SHADES 10 shades of color bluish greenish zigzagging a door...a portal one color covers the canvas, followed by another, and another, until there are 10 shades of color in all, overlapping, blending, integrating...unknown to me until the end of the sketching appeared a door...eventually we will step through the portal into another world. as we live each decade of our lives, we can think of them as colors, marking the places, peoples, ideas, and things with our energy, our particular shade of color...these shades overlap with each decade, combining to eventually form (unknown to us in the living of each decade) a doorway, a portal that at death, we transition through to another world/dimension/state of being. i did not start out intentionally trying to create a doorway, yet it came to be in time through the shading of different overlapping colors, in the living of a life...what colors are you drawn to, what kind of life are you creating, is there a doorway/portal to "something e...

DANCING BALL OF LIGHT let us be dancing connected to the great ball love, light, energy for part of my morning prayer, i envision my feet in the sand at the edge of the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, holding hands with my family/tribe...all of us dancing, singing, connected to the great ball of love, light, and energy at sunrise, in a safe space outdoors, connect bare feet to the earth and imagine, with your hands outstretched at both sides, holding hands with those you love...visualize your family/tribe dancing on the great ball of the earth invigorated with sunlight...sing up the sun...feel the love and light in each other and all around.

SPHERES amid the gold spheres a pattern reveals itself support...compassion the gold spheres form a linear trajectory from the lower left of the image below to the upper right, growing in size with each iteration forward in time...the spheres are supported from above and below by other colored spheres...holding a trajectory with compassion who supports your life trajectory with compassion (empathy and action)? who's life trajectory can you support with compassion? focus on one person, and one small act of compassion that takes less than 5 mins. to complete...act within the next hour if you can, for sure within the next 24 hours...how do you feel...how did they feel...perhaps this could be the beginning of a virtuous trajectory...  

JUXTAPOSITION juxtaposition squares, circles, and triangles somehow it all fits all of the parts of our lives are in relation to one another...juxtaposed, in ever changing system states of juxtaposition...of all shapes, sizes, textures, colors, smells...and remarkably, somehow all the parts fit together into this thing called life. what are the most important "parts" of your life...how do they fit in relation to one another..what is your current system state of juxtaposition...if part of your system state is not the way you would like it to be, then choose one small act of 5 mins or less that could nudge you closer to the system state you would like to be in, and complete the act within the next hour.
