I am starting this project. The final acceptance of everything. It will be like Dzogchen through art. And I start from this painting, which I did at night, around 1 am, with the experience of this strong and crazy pain that was sharper than the usual, to which I have gotten used already. I prop the…

Jean sat in her favorite chair in the kitchen by the screen of an open window. She blew her cigarette smoke out past the tiny metal mesh, which temporarily protected her New England farmhouse from a few select mosquitoes of early summer. My new near-80-year-old poet and housemate seemed to love looking out the window,…

Can’t sleep. The phenomenon called pain is very active. And in addition there is some energy in me. I don’t know what it is, but it makes me awake. I slept for three hours. I am very awake and clear. I come to the studio and do this drawing. At first, before I put the…

For some time, faces wanted to come into my abstract drawings. It took me some time to let them in. They were persistent. Late at night, which is already the next day’s morning, on 4/2/14 I came to my table to write: I see now and admire the child, the little child, furious and angry,…

3:30 am. If it hurts too much, I’ve learned to not let it go on. I get up and become more vertical to the earth for some time, I put an ointment on the skin and wait for the pain to subside. I am very awake and it feels good. What would you expect your…

Another way to look at this is to imagine that we have a ‘stress bucket’. The capacity of the bucket can vary from person to person depending on the experiences we’ve had in our lives and how these have shaped our beliefs and mindset. Stress comes in to the bucket from a variety of different…

I discovered a pattern in a series of drawings that I made lately. These drawings were made during a period of three days. They are not all the drawings that I made. They are just a sampling. The pattern is of a layered history. I had this pattern in many other drawings that I did…

Here is another example of reading art. When you look at the drawing at first it seems as if it will be hard to tell something clear about it. But as I started describing what I see, the vision became clear. This is the fun in this game. The truth is always hiding in plain…

“Only by being in harmony with our inner nature, and the Nature all around us, can we truly experience wellbeing and flow” Robyn Harris It almost seems that ‘busy’ is the new black! In our culture it appears that this is the way we measure success, or value, but when we put pressure on ourselves to maintain…

Obviously there is in this drawing something that grows. And also there is a relationship. The relationship is between two groups. The green and brown is one group and the yellow and ochre is the second group. The yellow and the ochre are free from attachment to the ground. They are transparent and interpenetrating with…
