After I finished the book, "The Quantum and the Lotus," I picked up a brush and let out what was inside.

One snowy winter day, I took a walk through an oak tree forest and was struck by a sense of vitality emanating from the naked branches. I even felt a certain sense of resonance from the energetic vibrations of the trees. After all, we are made of the same atoms, the same celestial seeds.

Underneath the apparent calm, there is a constant motion, a continuous swarming of things in the elements that make up this world. What sound like the stark opposites (i.e. motion and statis, order and chaos, structure and indeterminacy, form and emptiness, life and death) are, in fact, two sides of the same coin when we are truly in the moment, deeply experiencing them.

There was a force, which stirred up the hydrogen atoms to create trillions of stars and released waves energy when Cosmos came into existence. I imagined that force to be Shakti and gave it an image of a ladle.

Gray Matter: the way neurons establish connections follows the same pattern as the way trees grow, rivers branch out and lightning spreads in the sky.  We are all expressions of cosmic energy.

Figure Study2:  I think of a human figure as an energetic manifestation of  cosmic energy.

Humanscape:  As human beings, we are all connected with each other. Not only do we have the same biological lineage, but also share a common history and destiny as a species living in this remote corner of Cosmos.

Not only are humans interconnected with each other, but also with all things on this planet. According to the Law of Conservation of Matters, there is a piece of ocean, mountain, oak tree, elephant, dragonfly in every human being and vice versa. Everything on this planet is highly intertwined with each other.

Circular Time 2

According to the Native American cosmology, time is circular, not linear, and our destiny as human species is intertwined with the state of each constituent of this planet, both the animate and the inanimate.
