Perfection

Are we in the garden yet?

"What makes human history such an uncertain and fascinating story is that man lived in two worlds—the world within and the world without—and the world within men's heads has undergone transformations which have disintegrated material things with the power and rapidity of radium."

The Story of Utopias, by Lewis Mumford, [1922], at sacred-texts.com

My yogis tell me we are already in the garden, but most people don't know it.  Is it all about perception and perspective? I like to think that there is no other explanation for happiness.  My new book of poetry is called The Garden (currently unpublished) and I meditate on the beauty around my in my own garden.  So grateful for the green and the trees, in both worlds- the world within and the world without.

What is your definition of perfection?

Icarus

Christian Hosoi (The Christ) exemplifies the Icarus myth in the 21st Century. After being arrested for drugs and doing time in prison, he becomes redeemed and reborn. What he does on the skateboard appears impossible. This is just what I am interested in; making impossibility possible. Icarus is my favorite myth. As a former skateboarder, I can only stand back and admire what this guy can do on his board.  I am also interested in the Hindu deity Ganesha- Lord and remover of obstacles.
