Artist Statement
I have come to understand non-resistance as it is: that is to acknowledge and allow the present moment to be, accept the impermanent nature of all that is manifested. I have found peace.
At the core of everything that exists is a varying degree of consciousness. Even the simplest form has consciousness allowing it to be, to maintain atomic structures. Everything is alive: the universe, the earth, plants, animals, minerals and humans are all expressions of the source-consciousness; manifesting as form.
All is one: separation is an illusion created by mind-identification. Abandon the mind and awaken the consciousness within from the dream of form, separation and time.
The timeless realm is accessible only in the present moment. Giving my fullest attention to the now, I resist nothing and experience the joy of Being. Life flows through me and love emanates in my action: I am still and present.

Knowing the future holds no salvation; I give my attention to the action; I remain unattached to the results.
Understanding that every achievement eventually comes to naught, I can create new forms while remaining un-identified with them. I know that my true self is Being and do not seek external fulfillment or validation. My life situation is not my life.
Allowing the cyclical nature of the universe to manifest freely generates the flow of life within me. I am in my natural state of felt oneness with Being; practicing non-resistance to the impermanence of the universe; the death and rebirth of all forms and situations.
All that has manifested will return to the un-manifested. I am consciousness. I am within you. Before time and form, I am.
