Welcoming the New Year

LEANING INTO THE LIGHT:  HIPSTABIRD SERIES 15

HAPPY NEW YEAR

So here we go…a new beginning and a new series of images.  Here is just a hint of the twenty images to come.

This body of work represents my search to develop a relationship to the everyday experience while maintaining a connection to spirit and the source that connects us all.  It’s about the experience of this relationship, not about arriving at some distinct point.  Self understanding is simply an acceptance of all that is and self realization is an understanding of all it’s relatedness.  It is the transformation of the heart and mind.  I relish the contemplative, those things that nurture an introspective connection of who we are.

Enlightenment in Buddhism is a concept which needs to be experienced, rather than told in words, but the idea is to see the world as it really is, a unified whole. Enlightenment means to be at one with the universe, and not be fooled by the illusion of individuality.
