An Offering

So I've been working on this video project for the last two months. It's called Perpetual Tea, or, Preparing Our Minds for Anything. It will debut in the Asian Fusion show at the Bower Center for the Arts in Bedford, VA on August 21st and it will run through September 22nd. The installation is an offering of fifteen 1-minute meditation videos displayed in a tatami room. A zafu and zabuton cushion will be available for the viewer to sit and experience the tableau. I've been practicing yoga and meditation since 1986. Crazy.

Here is a sneak peek of the offering.

Beginner's Mind

64 ounces of fresh pack. There was a time in my life when I thought a jalapeño was hot. Perhaps I was a bit more sensitive back in the day. Thanks to growing up in Los Angeles and New York City, I've seen a fair dose of heat. I'm simply used to being confronted in this manner. In fact, I can't remember the last time my senses were shocked. But I'm not a full-on tough guy. This doesn't appeal to me. Being a tough guy. Talking trash. Nah. Because the habanero. The habanero has my ass.

I whimper to that tempting fruit; humbled by its chemistry.

Aromatherapy

In May, 2017, we bought 30 boxes of nag champa. Each box contained 15 sticks. Today we have 13 boxes left, which means, we burn 18 sticks of nag champa per month.

Carry on.
