Standing Like John Wayne

Fascination Street
Where: West Village, NYC
When: December 19, 2009

Whee! Snow! Title is from Ani DiFranco's song If It Isn't Her, which is one of my all time favorites. Check out this verse:

Standing like John Wayne
She is full frame
She is center stage
My imagination
is rattling in its cage.

(I had originally posted with a different title, but then this song came on and I decided it was better.)

All Its Might

All Its Might
Where: Bradford, VT
When: November 7, 2009
"Life must function as activity that manifests life as life... The lily blooming in the field - why does it bloom? It does not bloom for any particular purpose; it blooms solely because it has been given life...

The flowers blooming in the field do not feel with pride that they should win first prize in a beauty contest; they do not feel that they are in competition with the other flowers. The violet doesn't develop an inferiority complex... It simply manifests its own life force with all its might."

Kosho Uchiyama, "Opening the Hand of Thought; Foundations of Zen Buddhist Practice"

The body of this deluded being

The body of this deluded being
Where: Hudson River Park, NYC
When: December 15, 2009

"This small individual 'I' we talk of will always be deluded, but regardless of that, zazen is buddha. We take the Buddha's posture with the body of this deluded being and throw ourselves into it."

Kosho Uchiyama, "Opening the Hand of Thought; Foundations of Zen Buddhist Practice"

Past Peak

Past Peak
Where: Hudson River Park, NYC
When: December 15, 2009

"We want Truth badly, but we mistakenly look for it in concepts, in words, or in phrases. We act as though it were something we could stuff in our pockets and take out once in a while to show people.

Yet while we labor hard to promote and protect what we believe to be the dazzling beauty in our pocket, Truth continues to reveal to us nothing but constant flux - total relativity, thoroughgoing change."

-- Steve Hagen, "Buddhism Is Not What You Think: Finding Freedom Beyond Beliefs"

Take Refuge

Take Refuge
Where: Bradford, VT
When: November 7, 2009

"Take refuge in self, take refuge in dharma [truth], take refuge in nothing else."

About This Blog

This is my first blog attempt. It hasn't been kept up over the last year, for some reason being pregnant really ate into my creativity, and I picked up the camera very rarely. I am thinking about starting it up again, but am not sure what direction to take it in.
