Watch What You Do

This has been the general theme of my work since the inception of my first book in 2008. It provides a lifelong practice of countering the habitual thought process, “What should I do?” When receiving this question from my mind, it’s fun to respond with “Watch what I do” because they sound so alike. If […]

Masking

What a concept. Who would have imagined we would be in a situation where we would be covering our faces? I remember when the pandemic first began and there were photos of teens in China wearing masks. It seemed foreign to me. Now it seems normal. I make my own masks out of old sweatpants. […]

Either way, you are still occupying that space, physically (like part of a table-setting), in a room, […]

A Mirage of Imaginative Doing

The myth of doing, as I entitled my second book, refers to the illusion that there is something we can do to enable things to happen in our life. It is like a fleeting mirage of this “thing” we can do that is other than where our body just is in space, in its activity, […]

Stare at Now

Stare at now and see that it is the same thing as next. How can we differentiate them? Even if we dot this immediate second and call it “now,” we know that that itself is made up of milliseconds or even the microunits running on a stopwatch, none to be identified as singular. Stare at […]

The Moving Now

“Now” is made up of milliseconds and beyond. Now, or “this” moment isn’t a fixed time. Time doesn’t stand still. What’s more interesting is the way now feels. It’s always the same quality, and always happening. If we stare at a second-hand moving as we say “now,” we can realize the movement aspect of now. […]
