I accept reality and dare not question it.

there is just one breath
cosmologically speaking
do you know of it?
the earth knows of it
the green and yellow of it
blazed across the sky
Sun pulses its breath
gives its life to all who care
do we not love it?

The View from the Center of the Universe;
We are central to the universe. This belief has been the foundation of all centering cosmologies in the past, but today it is no longer merely an assumption. Now we have evidence. During the centuries between Newton and the current cosmological revolution, however, people could find no such evidence and abandoned centrality as wishful thinking. Instead, they embraced the notion that humans are insignificant, isolated beings in a vast, mostly empty space, and made the best of it by finding a kind of nobility in self-deprecation. This has led to the cultural result that the phrase “I’m human” now means basically “I make mistakes,” “I have my limits,” “Don’t expect too much of me.” Admitting our own imperfections and apologizing for our mistakes is a worthy purpose for invoking this phrase, but thinking of being human essentially as a limitation is a self-fulfilling prophecy and denies us our cosmic potential.

A little darker look than previous. It reminds me of some neighborhoods I hung out in many years ago. I enjoyed working with the pallete knives on this one.

This little piece was from a photo I took last Summer at Dana Point, California. It has a nice zen like look.
