Love the smear of magenta in some of these.

It’s been a week of prints and ponderings, multiples and musings … inquiry and etchings?
Alliteration aside, Smooth Ray is very grateful to those who took the time to read, comment, share, consider, and support the work. All of these phrases are related to the study of non-dualism and a growing understanding of our world as far more interconnected than it may appear.
“Far more interconnected” is simple, but misses the point: There is no separation, no multiple things or people to connect or be connected. All of life is one wholeness.
However, fundamental truths of an infinite universe interact with the limited world in strange ways. “Truth Has No Meaning” is absolutely true, though it wont help you on a math test. “This moment is perfect” is absolutely true, even as it includes illness and pain and sadness.
What to make of all this?
Nothing, really.
Can you hold these truths close, and still get lost in the grocery store? Go about your daily life of routine interactions, remaining aware that in fact your very existence is one of infinite Love?
Softness. It takes a certain softness, openness, spaciousness, to consider that joy and tears may not be different.
In the midst of a meditation, these words appeared: “Be Still, and the Universe Will Unfold.”
Hold soft, and keep going.
Stillness, like the center of a wheel.
Motion without movement.
Fully engaged, intimately close.
Watching.
