water seeing water

New at the artisans’ galleryLisa Gakyo Shaewe

Water practices and validates water; therefore there is a study of water speaking water. We must bring to realization the path on which the self encounters the self. We must move back and forth along the vital path on which the other studies and fully comprehends the other, and then leap free.

No Abiding

 

Letting mySelf melt into water itSelf. Living again and again the resilience and support of frozen states that divide and reflect and in time always crack, giving way to formlessness with no boundaries that can be defined.

Water of Ten Directions

 

Painter, brush, canvas, image, subject–they are not many.

The painter is the brush, the image is the painter, the subject is the object, the canvas is the paint.

Those things only separate themselves when we separate them by the way we use our mind.
