What if we are the aliens? What if we are far more advanced than the system lets on because all it's concerned about is money? What if all the things we've learned to need are completely false necessities? What if somewhere deep down in all of us lies the simple, obvious knowledge that we don't actually need money or material possessions? What if the majority of us are in denial? What if the majority of us don't even realize because we're in denial of being in denial? What if somewhere deep down in all of us lies the simple, obvious knowledge that we need to return to nature, to live freely and simply off the land? What if we realize that war and disease are completely reversible and, better yet, avoidable? What if we, as a whole, realize the devastating implications of technology and environmentally-damaging practices continuing to accelerate at the current rate? What if we finally realize that if we don't change our ways, Earth as we know it will crumble upon itself without mercy? What if we finally realize that the Earth isn't just some inanimate thing that humans can claim to own and inhabit but is in fact a part of us, and we are a part of it? What if we finally see that our one being is crying and in pain, realizing that we need to reverse the damage that has been done? What if we all took a step back and asked, "Why have we made a life originally so simple, so darn complicated?" What if we became collectively conscious and aware, discovering the real happiness exists inside each of us without external stimuli? What if we discovered the real, unconditional, universal, infinite love that we are all capable of emitting, all the time?

open up your ears

and clean out your eyes

if you learn to love

you're in for a surprise

it could be nice to be alive

If we are all aliens, there are no aliens.

We are one and we are love.

We can do this better.
We can.

Perhaps the most advanced cultures are the simplest ones.

Maybe they already discovered the highest forms of technology, experienced the damage it had done, & reverted back to simple origins where nature provides all of the technology they need. Or maybe they discovered & experienced these high forms of technology prophetically, in visions, in dreams, & made the conscious decision not to evolve through that path but instead to stay true to their nature.

Their nature is our nature, so why take our nature for granted?

///LOVEREIGN///

Be calm, let love flow freely within you,

then love will flow freely without.

When I was a toddler, overwhelmed with tantrums, each evening when I allowed myself to enter into a fit of uncontrollable screaming and crying, my father would pick me up, carry me to the back porch, sit me on his lap, and we'd gaze at the moon and the stars. After a while, my sobs would slow to an awkward hiccup, then eventually a peaceful calm. Love bounced between my dad and I and these celestial beings, connecting us, and creating a whirl of light around and inside of me.

"My fear grows fat on the energy I feed it,

and if it grows very big,

it probably happens."

A couple years after graduating high school, I began to experience the most frightening sleeps, ones overwhelmed with sleep paralysis. I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe, I couldn't speak, and when I finally gathered enough strength to conquer the mysterious force and wake up, I would be crippled with fear. Each night I would think about how horrible it was going to be when I fell asleep, and each night for several months at a time over several years the paralysis recurred. Looking back, I can see at what point the suffering ended: it was when I no longer let that fearful thought plague my mind, when I let go of my desire to escape the nightmare, when I released myself of anxiety.

We too often doubt the power of our minds. Just as we can make our greatest nightmares come true, we can also manifest our greatest dreams. Everything that exists in our lives, we believed into existence.

"The mastery of fear."
The reigning of peace & harmony, light & love.

Saturday greetings.

Saturday Morning

Low Leaf with Capski

///SUMMERCHILD///

fall of love

winter of love

spring of love

summer of love

love, like life, is infinite

it works in cycles

it never disappears

it merely t r a n s f o r m s

Also!

I'm finally opening my Etsy shop! In my mind, it was simply going to be called I, but there was a four letter minimum so I went with Harmony-Ka instead. Ka meaning you, spirit, vital spark, energy, fire, or spiritual power, depending on the culture. I'll be sharing secondhandmade items -- jewelry, cards, drawings, paintings, photographs, clothing, shoes, bags, organics -- created with recycled, repurposed, found, & bought materials alike. The humble profits I earn will go toward making my nature dream a reality: a peace sanctuary for you&you and i&i (you can visit my Etsy About page for elaboration). I've so much more to photograph & create for Harmony-Ka, but I wanted to make it public already! So for now, it's just jewelry. But be patient, & the gems will come*

~------\\/\\/\_-__ grow, transform, evolve __-_/\//\//------~

harmonize with the elements

choose love not fear

manifest golden dreams

there are windows everywhere

we are all flowers

be one with nature

we can get back to the garden
if we keep our karma high
we were meant to love each other
like the birds were meant to fly

///TWOPEACE///

John said, "I want to plant an acorn." I thought it was such a beautiful idea: an acorn as sculpture. So I said I would do the same, we will plant two acorns together. One was planted in the East, because I come from the East, & John planted one in the West. But the idea that 'East is East, & West is West, the two shall not meet' was turned around into 'East & West are together.' John said, "Yes, mine is in the West, but it's right next to you." We thought that was very beautiful, that we had made a revolution in a sense, that we changed physical distance with our love.
