'The ART of PERCEPTION'

___________________________________________________________________NEW EXHIBITION_____

Alongside the technical skills that artists develop over the years, it is,
above all, awareness that is the defining characteristic. Artists often
perceive the world differently and, naturally, they strive to make their
perception accessible to others. Often, it is quite ordinary things and
situations that they depict, but they do so in a different way because
of their heightened perception. It is precisely for this reason that an
artist can be such a valuable help through their work – adding new
perspectives to our familiar way of seeing things. We humans tend
simply to see what we want to see -- not, what is really there....

> Let’s be honest – don’t our relationships often suffer because we
don’t perceive our partners as they really are?

All images are a tiny reflection of my daily breathing. Especially
when people are at my place for a seminar I feel often my true
artistic and spiritual core. I hope you see 'just' how simple my
life is ... 🙂

LOVE and LIGHT

Dear Michael,

it was very special being with you this very afternoon.
Your "simple life" reflects the attention you give
every moment and your visitors.

It was like attending a great silent celebration and
the photo illustrates this perfectly.

If only I could "see" you🦋!

The engineered harmony of round and angular objects, along with the dancing elements in the picture, is playing with my mind. I can't stop watching it and enjoying it.

The grass, flowers, leaves, water, bowl, boxes, stone ball... it's as if they all agreed to stand in the frame, smile, and take a photo together.

And the statements... they astonishingly convey the power of perception to create change.

How easily we can change our lives and our world simply by "refining" our perception.

If only this modification were easy as well...

I hope all the people who participated in the seminar realize how lucky they were to be in this simple life; Simple, like the calm surface of a deep ocean...

Dear Michael,
my experience during the many years is,
that you art is visible in each and everything
you are doing and creating, independend
of what it is - a bowl with food, an
arrangement of flowers or stones, a tea bowl...
Your photographs are showing this very clearly!
Each and everything is in harmony and flow,
nothing to add, no comments necessary,
just unity and integrity! 💫

Reflections in the Evening Light

One of our village wells has already run dry.
There are restrictions on our water use this
well is still running and supplies my garden.

It is such a pleasure to read your comments.... 🙂

THANK YOU

Another outcome of human activities on the Earth?

I hope your garden always enjoys the bliss of everlasting lushness and vitality...🌹🌱

Reflections in the Evening Light

Reflections...

This reminds me of:

Sometimes, a feeling of jealousy urges to fill our being when we see how the friends of our beloved can spend time with them—something that could be only a wish for us.

But something within us does not let jealousy take control: Those “Friends” Are Beautiful Reflections of the Light of Our Precious Person.

And that is why we FEEL that our ego has no power to envy them.

P.S. The quoted post mostly carried an environmental concept, but this was how I felt today and I couldn't resist writing about it by seeing the word "reflection".

... an artist can be such a valuable help through their work – adding new perspectives to our familiar way of seeing things. We humans tend

simply to see what we want to see -- not, what is really there....

> Let’s be honest – don’t our relationships often suffer because we don’t perceive our partners as they really are?

When I read these lines for the first time several days ago, what I understood was: our perception can be changed by the "infulence" of an artwork.

Now I can see it is not only the influence of the art, but that of the artist, as well. I felt this when my perception of sand changed through my own journey...

And just imagine what would happen when our perception about other things, concepts and matters_ including relationships- change... Revitalizing!

That's why we should never lose the Light of a precious artist when life gives them as a gift to us... especially if they are masters, as well...

THANK YOU, SANDMAN

The Past -- Poem

Yes, I miss the sparkle in her eyes, the playful movements of her lips,
the scent of her hair in the early morning. I miss the touch of our
naked bodies… all of it. The worst thing, however, is how much
I miss her clear and gentle voice — which never once disturbed
the sense of silence....

Wonderful words!
A shiver is running down my spine
when I read this poem....
Again and again 💫😥💕

The Past -- Poem

Yes, I miss the sparkle in her eyes, the playful movements of her lips, the scent of her hair in the early morning. I miss the touch of our
naked bodies… all of it. The worst thing, however, ...

What I felt from this poem is a mixture of Bliss and Sadness...

Whenever I think why life has to be so cruel sometimes, I remember Sri Ma's words:

"It is HIS pleasure to play as HE does. All is HE... HIS play is in numberless forms and ways"...

Well, forms and ways that don't care how much pain one has to bear by not being next to their love, by missing them, and by getting used to meet them only in the infinite...

I ENJOY missing (her) the same way I enjoyed being together...
(Transcendence and Creation)

LOVE is LIGHT

In this case, I feel you are still living with her, even if not physically...

(Transcendence ad Creation)

CREATION is one of the concepts that I wish to FEEL the essense of one day.

This word has not let me in YET...

It is quite simply not my job to change other people’s
perspectives. If it does happen, it is down to the
decisions that the people concerned have made
themselves....
