family reunion

it’s been a while since my last muse, but i’ve semi finally caught up with my working life. in between fighting off a sickness, processing photos from cousin’s wedding and configuring two new computers in the office, i didn’t have much time to kick it on the keyboard. i’ve been away from the base too much and it seems like i am simply my own expectations. alas, a little meditation helps me destory those silly expectations. so, i had the wonderful pleasure of capturing my cousin’s wedding. although i would have like to enjoy the wedding and […]

bay to breakers

_if she can vogue now, she will destory you later. _this is her twin brother. i partied at their daddy’s fat pad. _bunny hoppers! in my ten years of life in the bay area, i had never seen the bay to the breakers. this year, i made it out of bed by 8am and was drinking a bloody mary by 9am. of course, i was smart enough not to run in the bay to breakers but i sure enjoy the company of my favorite kids in the city.

i had a very interesting conversation with the crazy lord last night. although i was explicitly told not to talk about the contents of my retreat, i ended spilling the essence of the “secret” learning to the man. luckily, he already knew what the hell i was talking about but he simply referred to it as ‘the void’. in buddhist circles, it’s sometimes referred to as ’emptiness’, ‘rigpa’ or ‘the lumonsity” or even the ‘primodial wisdom’. it would be fruitless for me to explain the concept but it’s largely a non conceptual expererience. But once you’ve experience […]

born again something

_rincophe. as real and lovable as it gets. sorta like a young chinese santa clause. simply brilliant and cool. words can’t describe it and feelings only get in the way. after 10 days of a dzogchen retreat with one of the most amazing teachers i’ve witness, i am born again with an appreciation and devotion for all the glory that is the path. i had to drag myself to the retreat and i had to drag myself away from the retreat. it’s a sign of something. anyway, i am still decompressing from the experience and i am […]

day 5

we got woken up by the park ranger today. total scene out of a romantic comedy. star crossed lovers pass out in station wagon with feet hanging out of the trunk. ranger wakes up couple and one says he’s a tourist and the other says ‘man can’t control me’. we drove a couple of hours north of auckland to get away from the family scene and catch some sun. we had a wonderful meal at a thai restuarnt and was so even bold to bring the unfisihed bottle of wine to bring to the beach. too bad […]
