📣 Book Release Announcement 📣

As our one living planet teeters upon its very axis, heavy munitions pound the Earth stomping out lives like falling forest trees. Up among the branches 🫀love🫀conquers all when we pursue its infinite variations actively and with intention. In this spirit my old pal the photographer Fabrizio Dal Vera and I share our studio shoot of How To Survive Secular Mysticism - a spiritual manifesto, by moi and now available on https://www.plural-studio.net/how-to-survive-secular-mysticism

there is nothing in this book
that you do not already know
though you may have
forgotten
therefore soften your perspective as you engage
these realities
softness allows the future to be remembered into
the present
like brush lines in an act of creativity

How To Survive Secular Mysticism is a fierce meditation on the cultural hijacking of mystical language and imagery. Alex Head’s swirling aesthetic sensibility and kaleidoscopic commentaries pull us through the subtle yet profound distinctions between lived spirituality and its secular simulacrum, demanding conscious intention and devotional presence amid ever-intensifying chaos.



- Ferdiansyah Thajib, author of Enduring Otherwise



Dense and earnest, this is someone thinking seriously about finding transcendence through art, community, and presence rather than doctrine. ‘Secular mysticism’ numbs you, disorients you, and opens you to external control. Genuinely strange and original writing, somewhere between cultural criticism, spiritual autobiography, and conspiracy theory, held together by artistic intelligence.



- Erin Honeycutt, pamphleteer

Secular Mysticism includes but is not limited to:

• Uninitiated or uneducated audiences exposed to

religious ideas and icons such as the ‘all seeing eye’

• Drugs and alcohol consumed without intention

• Social-media generated content consumed without

consent

• Trigger responses to environmental stimuli that confuse

thoughts and feelings, opening a way in for fear and anger

• Hypnotic sexual imagery such as the ‘Super-Hero’

Launch event in Berlin coming soon.

whoops I posted before I wrote anything. I found a lot more of this artist's work here, great blog!

I identify with this person's plight. I love all the colors. Apparently he was a self-taught miner, which I really respect, and he was nuts, which I also respect. (that is unqualified, but I'd make that argument 😁 Perhaps he was sane and the world is nuts.)

When it comes to dreaming and #vision I'd like to thank @elena who dares to #dream, and whom I quoted in my article.

And the many people who work tirelessly to foster #cohesion, increasing the connectedness of our social fabric. Cross-pollinators. In my previous blog post on Grassroots #fediverse I already genuinely thanked whom I called "the pillars grassroots standardization" @evan and @silverpill

This is such important work. In that article I make many points which are unfortunately misunderstood by people as criticism, while it is the opposite. I admire all the fabulous work people are doing and have done over the years to bring #fedi where it is today.

But I argue that to really go next-level, to #ReimagineSocial, and enter the Future of Social networking, we must be able to take more holistic approaches to glue our fragmented online spaces together, and forge a #SocialWeb that is #inclusive to more people, so they can chime in with their 2 cents of #contribution to the whole.

For A Whiskered Face

Deep in the velvet where the willows weep,
A foggy mirror shows secrets it should keep.
The pace slows down to a gentle hum,
It’s the rhythm of the wood where the shy things come.

Oh, the otter pond is a dreaming place,
A quiet drink for a whiskered face.
Where stale waters stir and creatures creep by,
Under the gaze of a summer sky.

A flash of a shadow, a glide, and a spin,
Through the cool of the oasis, they’re diving back in.
Chasing the sunlight, hunting the deep,
While the forest around them is half-asleep.

Lush is the carpet, soft is the sound,
Of a mind that is lost and a peace that is found.
For the lucky who linger, for the few who stay,
The heavy old world just drifts away.

Swim through the ripples, play in the blue,
There in the wild the glass whispers back to you.
In the quiet of the pond, where the soul breathes slow,
Where the water flows, and the otters go.

Words and images by Michael J. Hall.

Of a mind that is lost and a peace that is found.
For the lucky who linger, for the few who stay,
The heavy old world just drifts away.

Swim through the ripples, play in the blue,
There in the wild the glass whispers back to you.
In the quiet of the pond, where the soul breathes slow,
Where the water flows, and the otters go.

Words and images by Michael J. Hall.

For A Whiskered Face

Deep in the velvet where the willows weep,
A foggy mirror shows secrets it should keep.
The pace slows down to a gentle hum,
It’s the rhythm of the wood where the shy things come.

Oh, the otter pond is a dreaming place,
A quiet drink for a whiskered face.
Where stale waters stir and creatures creep by,
Under the gaze of a summer sky.

A flash of a shadow, a glide, and a spin,
Through the cool of the oasis, they’re diving back in.
Chasing the sunlight, hunting the deep,
While the forest around them is half-asleep.

Lush is the carpet, soft is the sound,
Of a mind that is lost and a peace that is found.
For the lucky who linger, for the few who stay,
The heavy old world just drifts away.

Swim through the ripples, play in the blue,
There in the wild the glass whispers back to you.
In the quiet of the pond, where the soul breathes slow,
Where the water flows, and the otters go.

It was certainly time to remove my contact lenses, after a few weeks of wearing them.

I'm very near-sighted. My natural vision is great for reading, and things like making models, or detailed miniature mechanical/electronic repairs.

My preferred daily vision solution is contact lenses to achieve best distance vision, with reading glasses on hand. Works very well for me: I can see clearly when I wake up, to drive, etc.
