(#37/365) Offerings

"One of our major sources of spiritual consciousness is found in our earliest life - the benevolent oneness of existence in our mother's womb. Then, as an infant, we experience the freshness of seeing, feeling, and touching the world for the first time, the immediate physical presence of our senses and our own needs. Reawakening this intimacy, recapturing a spontaneous unbroken trust in what we know and feel, is essential to finding our spiritual ground in later practice"
- Jack Kornfield

Art!

Dave bought a new piece of art for his office today... We went to Novato to meet the artist - mathmetician and artist Harry Benke. After several hours of looking at hundreds of Benke's pieces and photographs - Dave chose this piece, title "totem." "the totem" is composed of ellipsoids ((x^2/a^2)+(y^2/b^2)+(z^2/c^2))=1, ray-trace rendered over an algorithmically generated fractal sky scape. It is beautiful!



This is the picture from Benke's email trades with Dave - and it doesn't do it enough justice - our print is a little darker and the reflections are a little more pronounced.
