Twelve Year Aging Cycles

We don’t age gradually, it happens in short phases. I remember two major aging shoves in my life. The first one, I experienced in my mid-thirties when my body-mind energy dropped by something like ten percent. At that time, I also acquired a lower back problem that never went away. It can manage it, but I will have to live with for the rest of my life. I think, having to live with issues is part of aging. The second shove happened in my late forties – another drop of my body-mind energy and this time visible signs of aging.

The Chained Soul

I commissioned this picture for this blog post. We all get enthusiastic about the positive sides of enlightenment, all that inspiring wisdom and the enthusiasm that rises from discovering our heart’s desire. These goddies distract from the necessary but tedious work – the dissolution of negative mental patterns, the chains that hold us back from reaching illumination.

Karma Land

Karma Land is an adaptation of the eighteenth Tarot card, The Moon. I had this picture made for a meme. The path through the hills in the foreground symbolizes a common lifestyle, the ups and downs of good and bad experiences, success and failure, and good and bad karma.
