Addiction, Ego, Pain
This cartoon fascinated me. I believe we are each knitters of one kind or another. But, I noticed the people commenting on YouTube seem oblivious to this fact.
I spent over 25 years doing science: molecular genetics, PhD level lab work, publishing results.
I’ve spent over 50 years meditating: walking the mystical, mythical paths, another form of research.
I worked hard to call myself “scientist.” My friends tend to call me an “artist.” Oh, well.
“Seeing for Myself” reflects both these paths of exploration. As scientist I want to see things for myself. As mystic I never forget the search for my true Self.
Putting my discoveries into both art and essays clarifies my understanding.
I hope others might also find something of benefit here.
