    How to draw the Sri Yantra

    Introduction I’ve played with the Sti Yantra over the years numerous times. In the beginning there were few and hard to find instructions. Today there are many more, especially video tutorials. I’ve been through quite a few and it is very difficult to find a clear and good one: Please note that the instructions focus…

  • The Art Of Life

    Because sometimes you have to make a film about the man you just met on the beach a gift from Anna-Maija

  • Who By Fire – Leonard Cohen, Israel … and I

    I’ve been distantly aware that Leonard Cohen visited Israel during the 1973 Yom Kippur war and sang for soldiers in the desert. So I went into this podcast episode about this event with a sense of curiosity. The story is told with care and subtlety and I look forward to reading the book. My curiosity…

  • בדל של אור

    אני מופתע כיצד האלבום הזה נגע ונוגע ביהוא מעורר בי תחושה של תרבות עתיקה שאולי עוד תקוםהוא מעורר בי תחושה של שייכות עתיקה ושל שייכות עתידית שכבר עבורי כנראה לא תוגשםהוא מעורר בי מחשבות אודות קהילה רחבה, עמוקה ומהותית

  • The Edge of Something

    This comes to me to compliment an impoverished philosophy. “I feel I am on the edge of something …” David Bohm

  • Bryan Ungard – Deliberately Developmental Organisations

    This came to me via Richard Bartlett and: Listening to it while reading Christopher Alexander’s A Timeless Way of Building feels almost eerie … as if Bryan is looking over my shoulder and re-whispering the book in my ear recontextualized from the architecture of buildings to the architecture of organizations. I felt a deep sense…

  • Space is Not Mute

    Space is Not Mute

    … Here right now was the space of my building, as plain and fresh as it would ever be. And what it helped me to understand is that space is not mute, that it does speak to us, and hat we respond to it more directly, more viscerally, than all the cerebral, left brained talk…

  • Happens to the Heart

    What is it that dies and what lives on?

  • Leonard Cohen – The Goal

    This morning as I stood at the end of my Yoga mat, hands on my heart, heading into practice … letting my mind roam where it will and eventually (hopefully) settle … it came to me again that I live in a world where there isn’t going to be another new Leonard Cohen album ……

  • The Morphic Field of Hallelujah

    What touches me? The eternally spacious words of Leonard Cohen? Jeff Buckley’s poignant and guitar colored delivery? Or is it Lindsey’s voice as she pulls away to conjure up a sharp, powerful energy launched like a penetrating arrow into my heart? Can the elements be separated? Where does the song Hallelujah begin and where does…

  • Overtone

    This is the most discerning demonstration I’ve heard of overtone singing! Feels like I needed to hear this now … two tones: sometimes one is still and the other moving, sometimes the other way around, sometimes moving together … sometimes moving apart … always relating. … works for me as a sound that sends me…

    Flowes in the Guns – Reloaded

    A couple of days ago Iulia came back from the village postoffice with a letter for me … mail … the snail kind. I, who only receive SMS notifications from Iulia or from Orange remiding me to ask Iulia to recharge my phone with credit, received a writte letter that physically traveled half way around…

  • Cande Buasso and Paulo Carrizo

    I have a thing for women base players, and this … well … delicious … and the angelic masculine presence that surrounds and holds her:    

  • Wrapped Around Your Finger

    I used to love Sting … but we’ve grown apart over the past 10 or 15 years. I couldn’t listen to his last album from start to finish once. He doesn’t feel as present and hungry as he was when I was into him. And I’ve changed too … Rufus Wainwright has been gravitating in…

  • Lime and Clay under a Microscope

    Lime and Clay under a Microscope

    Since I’ve been immersed in working with natural binders on our earthbag-cellar journey I’ve been in awe of and thinking a lot about the natural binders lime and clay. Yesterday this image of chalk under an electron microscope appeared in my twitter feed and took my breath away: I then searched for and found this…

  • Nick Cave – Distant Sky

    “They told us our gods would outlive us, but they lied … this is not for our eyes” … feeling tired … the deep kind …

    he seems to be in a delicate place and resonating wish so much power and clarity.
