MOON HUNG: 2011

When despair grows in me
and I wake in the middle of the night
at the least sound in fear of what my life
and my children's lives may be,

I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water,
and the great heron feeds.

I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting for their light.

For a time I rest
in the grace of the world,
and am free.

–

the peace of wild things

Kundalini Yantra

A kundalini yantra from Gujarat, early 1900's, used to help focus the "serpent energy" within the body

I am thinking about turning the ink on my wrist into a modern take of this more ancient kundalini serpent spirit. sketching out ideas, now.

A Surprise

Gorgeous Design Graphique by Sara Haraigue

Crowd

William James via Invisible Stories: “One need only shut onself in a closet and begin to think of the fact of one's being there, of one's queer bodily shape in the darkness (a thing to make children scream at, as Stevenson says), of one's fantastic character and all, to have the wonder steal over the detail as much as over the general fact of being, and to see that it is only familiarity that blunts it. Not that anything should be, but that this very thing should be, is mysterious! Philosophy stares, but brings no reasoned solution, for from nothing to being there is no logical bridge.”

Lover of mine
Let's become independent pillars meeting to the span of the heavens where children are free to play in the space between the rainbow

Who, most elusive spirit, can you be?

circle of consciousness & the great

Saw this the other day--
Mantra- the Tibetans chant it over a glass of water 108 times and then drink the water to heal dis-ease in the body and mind.

HEART-CAVE

Become that Trusting

OPEN SURRENDERED BEING

The Energy can't come in

That is the Kingdom of Heaven

THE ENERGY

It is the same thing

COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS

Consciousness Equals...

Energy = Love = Awareness = Light Wisdom = Beauty = Truth = Purity.

It's all the SAME trip

It's all the SAME

Any trip you want to take

Leads to the SAME place...

Mirror Mind

Eric Chen, Mirror Mind poster 3, 2005

What was the inspiration for the Mirror Mind posters?

I created these posters to commemorate and promote the launch of my self-published autism book, Mirror Mind. The book aims to convey the inner feelings I feel as a person with autism, and the pictures represent a poem from each book.

Kālī (Sanskrit: काली, IPA: [kɑːliː]; Bengali: কালী; Tamil: காளி), also known as Kalika (Bengali: কালিকা, Kālikā), is the Hindu goddess associated with eternal energy. "She who destroys".The name Kali comes from kāla, which means black, time, death, lord of death, Shiva. Kali means "the black one". Since Shiva is called Kāla - the eternal time, Kālī, his consort, also means "the Time" or "Death" (as in time has come). Hence, Kali is considered the goddess of time and change. Although sometimes presented as dark and violent, her earliest incarnation as a figure of annihilation still has some influence. Various Shakta Hindu cosmologies, as well as Shakta Tantric beliefs, worship her as the ultimate reality or Brahman. She is also revered as Bhavatarini (literally "redeemer of the universe"). Comparatively recent devotional movements largely conceive Kali as a benevolent mother goddess.

Kali is represented as the consort of Lord Shiva, on whose body she is often seen standing. She is associated with many other Hindu goddesses like Durga, Bhadrakali, Sati, Rudrani, Parvati and Chamunda. She is the foremost among the Dasa Mahavidyas, ten fierce Tantric goddesses.
