hello zalman. maybe, just maybe, you’d remember me from years ago – your mom and i were friends (still are, but with many years in between). I saw her for the first time in at least 8 years at trader joe’s in tucson. i love that woman. she told me she was going up to see you and your show! Your art is engaging and as one of your fans said, joyful. i do love seattle and next time i come up, i’ll see if you are in a gallery or show somewhere. meanwhile, my very best to you. i also knew your grandmother and loved her dearly. peg kazda in the world of hot…..

is no masters of the art, the master itSELF? who/what THEN will appear at the END?

should we not rejoice and celebrate the peonies, azaleas, and camelias for the beauty TODAY that WE CAN? because after the world comes to an END, who will THEN be there to make such claim?

i have many more questions to ask the wise author of this little black Samurai book that i have answers to. all i know is a little wise teaching that illustrates what to do with those heads that claim small height useless… aw, it is YOUR head under my feet, i find such useful stature.

Gracias por compartir.

I very much enjoyed this insight. YOU ARE. I AM. My favorite lines are Love,

and changing… Positions. Uh-huh. You find me.

Yes, Free indeed. Family and Trust. Within. Transitions ignite CHANGE, again, within.

The river runs, between the rain AND sea.

Lovely, within.

Tu amiga del alma. YES, me.

Comment on Economic Crisis and Creativity: by zalmania

What up, Heather. I appreciate your perspective.
it does seem like there has to be a catastrophic event of some sort to motivate individuals to change their worldview. something about the laws of Nature where we are self-organizing, but generally motivated by trauma… or pleasure.
Napster and Wikipedia both arose from a shared desire (the pleasure of free abundant music, freely shared information), and those are examples of “gifting economies” that have done much to “destabilize” the status quo (no doubt the record companies were much more comfortable pre-Napster!) maybe the comfort or calamity response has to do with how we adapt to change. I notice for myself that I have an easier time of it when I accept change and work with it than when I try to uphold Old Ideas that no longer serve me, or are just not as efficient. Difficult tho’ because so much of identity can be derived from our past understandings of reality, instead of the less comfortable spaces of Mystery and the unknown, or “not yet experienced”. Its scary to be present and alive sometimes, particularly if you think you know exactly who you are already! I think the paradox is that when we choose to live in Real-Time, to flow with change, we come to a deeper and stronger understanding of ourselves. like Bruce Lee said: “be like water, my friend”
thanks for the comment!
Vi Cit Tecum,
Zal.
