Is there a word for absolute and rapturous freedom?
Imagine:
No debt, no obligations
Nothing pinning you down
No promises to fulfil and no deadlines pending
No todo list haunting your sleep
And no ego, not even a 'you' to be burdened
Is there a word for such unconstrained freedom?

This Real World, This Actual World
I was once a dreamer.
Wake up, they said, to the real world.
This real world, this actual world, have you discovered it?
Wherever I looked– the academic, the artist, the banker, the politician, the hipster, the mechanic, the soldier, the revolutionary– all with the same striving suffering, each with their own sense of status and importance. All with opinions, beliefs, and ideologies — wake up to the real world, they said.
This real world, this actual world, this earth spinning freely through space — trapped to that radiant star — this actual world, does it care about your status, belief, or ideology? Or is life in

Let go
The word is never the thing
Everything is moving, and
Everything dies -- Let go
There is no past, no future, there is only now
Moment-to-moment awareness -- Let go
Experience the unknown
Leave nothing of self -- Let go
There is no Truth to find -- Let go

of life anew
All thoughts and all knowledge are filters to action
beautifully mechanistic in perfect process
Let go -- Let go of everything
Formless, experience anything

A state of mind, beautifully detached
free of the confines of self

A mind aware, it is neither open nor closed, simply free
Freedom from time
The past and present are now, as
Living and dying are now
There is continuous uncertainty, never agreeing nor disagreeing, an
Inexhaustible silence of absolute and total freedom
Rewriting my Artist Statement
We all desire to live freely, to create our values and perceptions, and to experience the best of life. My role as an artist is to connect us to the powerful truth that we can do these things.
An experienced artist, I have a background in computational mathematics, computer science, and fine-art; most of my work is a fusion of photographic and technical expertise with the coarse and abundant beauty of nature.
Traveling the world I have experienced the shared humanity and compassion that binds us in this wonderful struggle for existence. Every culture, every person, and every bit of life is fundamentally connected-- and it is through art, o
