Recollection is freedom from the superficial
Recollection is an awakening to the essential, a journey to the absolute or ever-deepening awareness which never ceases to be all-important and in its light alone everything else discloses its true meaning. It is a meaningful integration or union of the entire person; a realization of its true self out of the depths of its being. It is the soul knowing and becoming aware.
Meditate with intent…

Distraction can also be thought of as the inability to discern what is the object of our focus…
Recollection and contemplation
There are times when speaking of distraction we mean that we are so imprisoned by a certain object or emotion, that there is the inability to concentrate voluntarily on any other object. This phenomena can be thought of as distraction in a relative sense only. It is not that we are unable to concentrate or focus at all, but find it impossible to control our attention at will; unable to release it from the object or emotion that has captured it. We are without the means or capacity to direct our attention to the object which at that time should be the focus our attention.
Meditation is the beginning of Recollection…

From distraction to recollection
… What then is recollection? It is chiefly an antithesis to distraction. We can say that sometimes we are unable to recollect ourselves in meditation: we are at once distracted. We are unable to focus our attention on any one point; we are controlled by the endless stream of thought and the embodiment of our associations; our mind is scattered; the complexity of life is perplexed. In its proper revelation, this state of mind, in which we cannot attend fully to any one object and fail to penetrate the logos of being, but carried away by the machinations of fantasy, is defined as distraction.
Nothing You Ever Do Is Collected In One Moment (A Two Worlds Collide Remix)
Perfection can be found over time when you follow your instincts….
Two worlds collide
Something other than remaining…
I often wonder when a work of art is finished. What defines a piece as being complete; needing no further creative intervention on the part of the artist? Perhaps nothing (completion) is ever collected in one moment. If as artists, we seek to embrace the process, then it is possible that perfection is truly the antithesis to what we hope to accomplish; the creation of great art, the connection with self, and the freedom to allow instinct to govern.
Instinct is a mystery. It has no ending. No point at which it is defined.
When I create a work of art, I first view it as a part of a whole. That whole being one that is infinite.
– A life time of creating.
That which is the part of a whole, only serves to contribute to a never-ending journey; the idea of nurturing the creative instinct that lies within the realm of the visceral. While at times abandoning conscious decision-making.
Sometimes it serves us well to know that the perfection that is born of one’s decision, is not the perfection that is found over time …
In the end trust in the mystery….

Images For Android Phones: The Dark Outside My Window
the film ends
no longer a starring role
outside my window
the darkness
is collecting its toll
are you there
feeling it’s unfair
– our lost
you have to bare
sitting there
– with empty seats
and
ending dreams
no starring role
here
just the things
we sometimes fear…
Images For Android Phones: A Light At The End Of The Hallway
the film rolls
in secrets
with shadows
taking their toll
a light
with no day
in dark corners
in which to play
alone
– afraid
stoned
at the end
of the hallway
Images For Android Phones: A Window In A Dark Room
Painting in one color
A black as dark as coal
So dark it feels endless
It’s time to pick another color
Or look out a different window
Catch a thought or two
See things in another light
As the room collapses
Like falling cards
Entangled with the other’s calling
Like the dream that’s always falling
The blue sky outside
And my blurry eyes … blinking
Can’t save me from inside
The dark room in which I reside.

looking over the horizon
along the railroad tracks
i wonder where
… in silence
this train will take me
it’s lonely here
… in isolation
not unlike
a place
i used to know
Post Canvas And Paint: Images For Android Phones 05
i am there
across from you
filtering my mind
seeing colors
in a delicate design
Post Canvas And Paint: Images For Android Phones 04
embrace the sky
dreaming …
and
let the light unfold
inside….

The returning tide
Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create – so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, his very breath is cut off from him. He must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency he is not really alive unless he is creating. – Pearl S. Buck
