The Magic of the Cities.

Zen promotes the rediscovery of the obvious, which is so often lost in its familiarity and simplicity. It sees the miraculous in the common and magic in our everyday surroundings. When we are not rushed, and our minds are unclouded by conceptualizations, a veil will sometimes drop, introducing the viewer to a world unseen since childhood. ~ John Greer

Not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.”

Quieting The Mind






Picasso once said that it took him four years to paint like Raphael, but it took him a lifetime to paint like a child.
To see things in their original beauty, we must crack the shell of preconceptions with which adults are saddled.
 Zen has little to do with ideas, and its masters consistently point to the concrete. 
We are surrounded by magic. 
We literally have to go nowhere.
John Greer

Luciernagas / Fireflies



“What is life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.”
~Crowfoot

Homage To Jobim



“Two Kites”
And by the way have you forgotten to say
Where you live, what's your name, what you do
In case you're free
We can go you and me to the zoo
And may I ask you what you to do with your days,
With your nights, with your time, with your life
Suppose I dare to ask what are you doing tonight
If you're free I can lend you these wings for a flight

Haven't we met?
I can't remember but yet I could swear I have seen you before
But if you're scared of my boat
I can take you ashore
Or would you rather catch the wind
That blows steady and pulls to the high open sea
You are the force that irresistible might
That creates in me the power of flight
We're kites in the sky
We can fly, we can fly
We can fly, we can fly

I get a flash of your thigh like a spy in the sky
I see thy heavenly thighs in the skies, in the skies
There where the sea meets the sky
You and me, you and I

Give me a moment just to finish this brew to undo the voodoo
That kept you away
For so long
For so long
For so long
La la la la ...
Suppose I give you this rose and you give me a kiss
Suppose we take off our clothes
And we plunge in the sea
And just dismiss with a kiss la petite burgeoisie

Haven't we met?
I can't remember but yet I could swear I have seen you before
But if you're scared of my boat
I can take you ashore
Or would you rather catch the wind
That blows steady and pulls to the high open sea
You are the force that irresistible might
That creates in me the power of flight
We're kites in the sky
We can fly, we can fly
We can fly, we can fly

I see thy heavenly thighs
In the skies, in the skies
There where the sea meets the sky
You and me you and I
La la la la ...
For so long
For so long
Antonio Carlos Jobim

The road of the cactus and the sunset



“Life rhythms felt in no matter what, become symbols of the whole...The creative force in man recognizes and records these rhythms with the medium most suitable to him, to the object, or the moment, feeling the cause, the life within the outer form. Recording unfelt facts by acquired rule, results in sterile inventory.”
Edward Weston
