Tarot Journal #30: XII The Hanged Man

Suspended on the Brink of a Precipice

I am working on reducing stress and increasing acceptance for whatever will be as I move into uncertainty. I have to accept uncertainty as a natural way of being. As the world is a random and usually unpredictable place, this should be my expectation. Maybe when I am feeling secure, I am simply in denial. I will move forward with this attitude and see where it takes me.

Tarot Journal #29: 18 Moon/Nine of Cups

Drinking the Tears of the Moon

Each night I collect tears that fall from the moon

through

my sleeping mind

catching them in a goblet of flickering dreams

to drink when I awake,

illuminating,

with unearthly silver reflection,

the shadows

in forgotten corners

where the dreams tell stories

with their dancing forms

the way the bees give each other directions

to fields of pollen-rich blossoms

using the language of another way of thinking.

Tarot Journal #28: Daughter of Coins

Emerging into My True Self

According to Buddha

Above all, be at ease, be as natural and spacious as possible. Slip quietly out of the noose of your habitual anxious self, release all grasping, and relax into your true nature. Think of your ordinary emotional, thought-ridden self as a block of ice or a slab of butter left out in the sun. If you are feeling hard and cold, let this aggression melt away in the sunlight of your meditation. Let peace work on you and enable you to gather your scattered mind into the mindfulness of Calm Abiding, and awaken in you the awareness and insight of Clear Seeing. And you will find all your negativity disarmed, your aggression dissolved, and your confusion evaporating slowly like mist into the vast and stainless sky of your absolute nature.

From sloppy buddhist

This is what I am working on today put into perfect words by a fellow blogger.

Video: The Circle (a visual poem)

Vox Populi's avatarVox Populi

From director Ezequiel Pini: “The circle evokes time, or more precisely, the fragments of time that pile up in a vast scenario of unique moments and memories. It is an introspective journey of wonder and imagination through these glimpses of time. This simple form has been a character present in my work for years, it represents care, calm, and attention to achieve its ultimate perfection. We are a circle, without boundaries, beginning or end. Infinity, Unity, connection, just a circle in expansion.”

This piece is part of Moco Museum collection. To be exhibited in Amsterdam and Barcelona.

Six N. Fivefounder Ezequiel Pini celebrates a new milestone with his latest piece, a short film dubbed ‘The Circle.’ Calming and introspective, the film exemplifies the artist and designer’s surreal, otherworldly style, this time taking the viewer along a journey of many quiet worlds. The protagonist of the story —…
