Sea;man

cougarchild:

I have a deep desire to spend time at sea;when rope is sliding through my hands, I feel a sense of fulfillment. I detect a tantalization of my sense of purpose. 

This conclusion has often been followed with a thought: “the sea will take so much from me”

You are Life passing through your body, passing through your mind, passing through your soul. Once you find that out, not with logic, not with the intellect, but because you can feel that Life, you find out that you are the force that makes the flowers open and close, that makes the hummingbird fly from flower to flower. You find out that you are in every tree, and you are in every animal, vegetable, and rock.

You are that force that moves the wind and breathes through your body. The whole universe is a living being that is moved by that force, and that is what you are. You are Life.

…all we can do is to navigate our way cautiously through a humanly designed day-to-day substitute world of symbols - a world of dollars, minutes, numbers, images and words that are constantly being manipulated to wring the most possible profit from every conceivable circumstance. The body and spirit both rebel.

theairtightgarage: Career Timeline: 1985 - Starwatcher II His most famous piece in the Starwatcher series, and one that inspired many people to do their own version for this tumblr. I like what Moebius has to say about it, from Epic’s The Art of Moebius in 1989: “This is truly a magical drawing. It is not perfect—the legs aren’t quite right—but in this case, it doesn’t seem to matter. The face is wonderfully evocative. I can see how someone could fall in love with a face like this. The question that is always asked when it comes to the Starwatcher series is, is the character male or female? The answer is, I don’t know. Maybe it is a man, strong and masculine, yet sensitive and soft like a woman. A strange energy seem to emanate from the horizon. It happened quite naturally, almost by accident. When I was drawing this picture, I was trying to achieve a certain kind of feeling, so I just let myself be carried by the flow, and this was the result. I gratefully accepted it, almost like a gift. Things like this don’t always happen in art, but when it does, that’s what makes it worthwhile. The character is sitting by a monument, waiting for a big vessel to take off. There is the book, which is by Jack Vance. The can is a can of paint. You press a button and all the colors come out. The costume is a blend of western and futuristic, Inside the box is a crystal, and it’s a present from a child who lives on this planet, And there is a message in that cube, which says, ‘don’t take all this too seriously!’”

What’s truly funny is that something momentous is happening, and it’s so real that the media can’t see it. Here it is, the biggest story of all time, and it goes unreported. If you’re continually focused on this and that media event, the latest celebrity scandal, the scattered wars of duality, the deceitful maneuverings of selfish politicians, and the shifting state of a false world economy, you just might miss the greater story. And this greater story is why we are here and what gives our lives meaning.
