Power doesn't always announce itself. Sometimes it just makes an entrance. #GothZen #BeautyUnfolding #OddlyCalm

Somehow, these days, the simple truth seems more complicated. #UnshoutedTruths #MindfulRebellion #CheckYourHead

When people ask Kay if she has written anything lately, she asks them what they've read. #UnshoutedTruths #MindfulRebellion

On a deeper level there is something indescribable that makes us all the same. To know both is to know thyself. #UnshoutedTruths #MindfulRebellion #ConfessCalm #SelfDisrupt

She got her boots on. She can get them off all the same. If you're not going to help, don't pull. #GothZen #BeautyUnfolding #NoProblem #MindfulMoment

Fate? Destiny? All of the above?

Social media is a blessing and a curse. Like a bad smell you can't stop sniffing— no notes. #RearrangingSilence #ConfessCalm #MindfulRebellion

Me too. This is all sort of an evolution of my personal practice. I have taken all of the classic teachings and put them in my back pocket. Now I find that simply noticing the subtext of any given moment evokes presence. And rather than trying to explain it, I sort of try to exude it.

The aim of all of these, really, is to present moments that evoke varieties of subtext and interpretation. Oftentimes they are intentionally misleading. Like life...

It was meant to be a sort of "love 'em and leave 'em" type of pun. But if you have to explain the joke then I suppose it didn't land. lol. Oh well. There's always the next one...

Lenore sees what others don't. Not because she's special. But because she look past the noise. #LucidDarkness #PaleDivine #GothZen #CuriousNature

I detailed, realistic black and white rendering of the full moon superimposed over a pink oval. Text reads: Every time I hear Pink Moon I think of her. San Francisco to Seattle. The red sands of Shasta. The moon over Crater Lake. She wanted to stop and see. We didn't. She wanted to stay in Portland. We didn't. We drove so hard. It went bad. I had to get home for some reason

Urgency without clarity. Ignoring what matters in real time. Without knowing why. And only recognizing it later through a song.
Zen is the unnoticed part of ordinary experience.

That feeling like you're missing the moment.
Like you're missing the moment...
