I've become quite fond of your Saint Teresa watercolor, especially in amalgamation with the quote, as it brings me comfort and inspirstion in regards to some of my life pursuits. My father used to tell me the same thing, as he was always supportive and encouraging. He would have appreciated the subject matter. I've commenced listening to an audiobook of some of her writings until I'm able to aquire the book.

I spent alot of time with A Love Supreme last year, most often to start my day with, sitting and listening or doing some meal prep. The impetus was certainly built upon notions that you've written about above, as well for other reasons.. Or maybe I had numerous cups I was attempting to empty and refill in regards to various aspects of my life. Or empty and refill some and commingle others.

If I recall correctly, I also spent quite a bit of listening time with Weather or Not by Evidence, a flute and harp concerto by Mozart, In the Electric Universe by Mahogany Frog and a bunch of albums from a band called Tops. Also the songs "Traffic" and "Pay Dues" by Tajai.

I would use italics for album titles, but I'm not sure how to with my phone.

A bit of free association with what you wrote. Just had to get it out of the system. LoL

'The paralyzing intervention of self-awareness'. Forgetting how to exist without that 'ego' awareness is a delicate conundrum I feel. The self-awareness here is an object, just like everything else we see, feel, hear, ... being or coming into existence. Could it be that you do not 'exist' without that 'self awareness' but that you simply 'are' xithout beginning and end? It is like the moments when we think big or confusing thoughts and all of a sudden ask ourselves 'What is that which is aware of me thinking?', 'What is aware of my brain making music of these vibrations?'. Consciousness wants to play. It is bored. Creates planets, universes and people ... Trees, flowers, animals, kids on bikes, sugar canes and dandelions. Expressions of consciousness. Consciousness creating life, looking into the mirror in the morning, asking: 'Who am I'?
