Self Portrait by David Whyte

Self Portrait

It doesn't interest me if there is one God

or many gods.

I want to know if you belong or feel

abandoned.

If you know despair or can see it in others.

I want to know

if you are prepared to live in the world

with its harsh need

to change you. If you can look back

with firm eyes

saying this is where I stand. I want to know

if you know

how to melt into that fierce heat of living

falling toward

the center of your longing. I want to know

if you are willing

to live, day by day, with the consequence of love

and the bitter

unwanted passion of your sure defeat.

I have heard, in that fierce embrace, even

the gods speak of God.

— Gore Vidal

Dissolution

Had the honor of attending this powerful dissolution ceremony in Santa Monica care of these Tibetan Buddhist Monks. They travel here and labor over several days on a sand mandala at the Hammer Museum, then offer it to the ocean. Closing a big chapter with this sacred rite.
