These are lines that caught my attention from a photography class I took recently.

I wrote this back in February and it has languished in the queue long enough.
Scene 1:
I sit here drinking yummy coffee, Dancing Goat blend, watching the sunrise on this cold January morning. It’s 27F outside. This is the last day of a whirlwind weekend in Atlanta GA.
I enjoyed some delicious sushi, an adult beverage, and excellent conversation at Rock-N-Roll Sushi. I met a friend there for lunch.
Scene 2:
My next stop was a The Gadsden Museum Of Art. It contained a very intriguing collection of local art and history.
Scene 3:
I’ll be leaving this location in a few days. I’m moving back to Paradise for a month or two.
I hope to visit my siblings and my extended family there.
I also have a cardiologist appointment. I need to get those back on a better schedule. December is a good month to be on the coast rather than Birmingham AL (IMHO).
QOTD: “I have thousands of opinions still—but that is down from millions—and, as always, I know nothing.” ~ Harold Brodkey
“The man and woman in this card are facing each other, yet they are not able to see each other clearly. Each is projecting an image they have constructed in their minds, covering the real face of the person they are looking at. All of us can get caught up in projecting movies of our own making onto the situations and people surrounding us. It happens when we are not fully aware of our own expectations, desires and judgments; instead of taking responsibility for them and owning them, we try to attribute them to others. A projection can be devilish or divine, disturbing or comforting, but it is a projection nonetheless–a cloud that prevents us from seeing reality as it is. The only way out is to recognize the game. When you find a judgment arising about another, turn it around: Does what you see in others really belong to you? Is your vision clear, or clouded by what you want to see?
In a cinema hall, you look at the screen, you never look at the back–the projector is at the back. The film is not there really on the screen; it is just a projection of shadow and light. The film exists just at the back, but you never look at that. And the projector is there. Your mind is at the back of the whole thing, and the mind is the projector. But you always look at the other, because the other is the screen. When you are in love the person seems beautiful, no comparison. When you hate, the same person seems the ugliest, and you never become aware of how the same person can be the ugliest and the same person can be the most beautiful…. So the only way to reach to truth is to learn how to be immediate in your vision, how to drop the help of the mind. This agency of the mind is the problem, because mind can create only dreams…. Through your excitement the dream starts looking like reality. If you are too excited then you are intoxicated, then you are not in your senses. Then whatsoever you see is just your projection. And there are as many worlds as there are minds, because every mind lives in his own world.” – OSHO Zen Tarot
My take away:
Everything we perceive around us is an idea in our mind. I’m not saying that things aren’t “real”. My mind creates what I see from the light waves that are turned into nerve impulses. What I perceive may actually be vibrating out there. But the image is a creation in my brain. All people are different. All brains are different. The images are different. Osho says, we project a lot onto those light waves.
