| About the Artist |
Process stands prior to what is given,
understanding and releasing all things,
knowing itself by devouring itself
radically and devotedly.

"Cold Sweat":
And sometimes while browsing for bronzy-balled beatitudes,
I raised the parents of me.
It was rearing randy wailers,
But Ohhh, sometimes I wish I were an Image,
Sitting in a form
By my stream of consciousness.
I could choose to observe it, or not to observe it,
Could choose not to observe the observing of it;
Could not choose to not observe the observing of;
It not choosing,
not losing,
not trudging,
not judging,
not growing,
not showing,
not knowing,
not dying,
not trying,
not believing,
not perceiving,
not seeing,
not being,
not calling,
not falling,
not rising,
not sizing it up |

Swimming Past It
oil on canvas 91.4 x 121.9 cm |
|
"Swimming Past It:"
Things I don't know:
Whether surviving is necessarily survival;
Whether there is any honour in survival;
Whether it matters;
Whether matter matters;
Whether anything matters.
A thing I know:
Something matters |

“Process”:
That which arises out of the living reservoir is the source,
the true heart and the reality of the mind,
the original flow of the non-conditional spirit current.
The triangles of past, present and future are illusions circling attention.
Radiance stands as itself, being free of the I-Self-Contracting Expansion,
Birth, Experience, Knowledge and Death, which are all Beings transcending. |

| Education and biography |
Things I don't know:
Whether surviving is necessarily survival
Whether there is any honour in survival
Whether it matters
Whether matter matters
Whether anything matters
A thing I know:
Something Matters.
