Bridging


Welcome.
I bridge between different philosophies, between outer and inner reality, heart and mind, heaven and earth, between east and west, connecting the rational and the irrational, the desired and the manifested, gathering the separated into the one.
“It is the ability to live in the realm of spirit, and yet remain connected and balanced with the realm of Earth...look higher and touch the sun with your heart, love the shadow as well as the light. See the beauty in both, and you will take flight like the eagle". (says the eagle in the "Medicine cards").
So now, I am putting it in words. Do I? Word, words… intellectualization of intimacy… There is so much beyond words. I could have written a list of groceries…
and yet, we need words.
Welcome, smell, see, listen, sense and feel.


well, many years ago, when I was in Japan, at the age of 26, the old teacher Sensei Yoshio Kawabata said to me "Tsilasan wa ohashi desu" meaning-Tsila is a bridge, (also chopticks, in Japanese) and then he went on explaining why. So now I live it, I guess he saw something then that I couldn't see yet.
