Yin and Yang is the description of the Dynamic at the Beginning-of-Creation, Yue.
Founded entirely in stillness and awareness, this dynamic can be experienced as compassion. A tiny bit of darkness or fear always remains. It is Part-of-Creation. The Self (Transcendence) is free from it. You do not need to learn another terminology!
Love, light, the Self... that which allows us to experience, inhabits our body for a time. Identification with the body acts like a kind of 'magnifying glass' ... it creates the illusion of the 'shadow'.
Some people love walking in the rain. Others prefer hiking in the sunshine. Ultimately, that does not really tell much.
However, when someone describes an experience of walking in the pouring rain, 'into-a-rainbow', and with intense rays of sunshine following that journey, that’s when it becomes very interesting to me. I love those stories, the reflections in a drop of rain, the colourful atmosphere, lingering feelings...
Over the next few days, I like to share an encounter that had a lasting impact on my life. Why this was the case, I can easily explain: I met a beautiful woman (Soraya) and there were no reservations whatsoever between her and me. I had never felt this way before. Well, maybe when I was little? It was like a meeting between two ‘three-year-olds’ who had never seen each other before and yet understood one another straight away.
Unlike in my previous Exhibitions, I do not wish to reveal all the selected images straight away. I am following an idea here and 'hope' that those interested might engage a little more with the works and perhaps share their impressions of the images on the way....
You wrote: "The desert is teeming with life and super silent." So is your photograph of Soraya. She seems to be the embodiment of the desert and you match perfectly together.
It`s breathtaking
Thank you very much for sharing your precious moments, Michael.
I discovered the new lady at your side on your profile, Michael
You know I love to sit with you in meditation. Your art work has a similar effect on me. The atmosphere changes.
It is still, deep, magic.
I guess it is easier to create this with nature, but you are able to catch it with people, too. Or maybe I am not distracted by superficialities of my mind -that much- anymore.

It's sooooo beautiful!!!! How do you manage to write such beautiful things alwaysss?????? 🐣😋✨
That was my impression exactly, Christine. Like sisters...
We people are nature too -- and it is easier in the desert... 🌹🌹
Desert Rose ... impressive – a beauty wrapped in mystery.
A rare guest and always welcome, Christoph. Today I sometimes think I should have just married an intelligent and beautiful lady... 🙂
Thank You, for your feedback...
As I hinted at some time ago, my 'visits' to Egypt had quite a lasting impact. Soraya served as a catalysator or huge 'mirror' onto which I could project my own past. She herself had been thrust into a marriage arranged by her parents -- a classic case. Her 'husband' had nothing better to do than to have fun with other women. She used this unfortunate situation to her advantage and stood on her own two feet... a move that wasn’t exactly met with applause from her social circle...
______________________________________Queen of Desert__________________________
The women of your art work appear self confident. They are attractive in a very intimate and also dignified way. You have an eye/ feeling for what emphasizes the beauty of women/ nature. I love the flattering clothing.
When I contemplate I perceive how my cells swing more smoothly. I guess most girls dream of being a princess. To become a queen with depth every woman has her own way of blossoming.
In some of the pictures she comes across as a teenage brat, sometimes very vulnerable, or even rather majestic. But I also see a certain sadness and melancholy.
As so often, I’m at a loss for words to describe my feelings, but it’s good practice and a sign that your work doesn’t pass me by unnoticed, Michael.
You are right, Christoph. I see all the little moments and it sometimes it hurts, that people does not realise, how much they do not know about themselves. I like to present it.... 🙂
I was looking at these photographs several times during the last two days - trying to find words to describe my feelings about them!
I visited the desert two times in my life, I remember very well the breathtaking view, listening to the sound of silence, watching the heaven full of stars in the night and feeling the shimmering heat during the day!
All these memories are coming alive again and much more - the beautiful lady symbolizes the mystic and exotic oriental culture, which I was fascinated of, since I was a small girl!
