2010.09.01 - BEING PUZZLED

For the next "Art of Being" project I have chosen the theme/title of "Being Puzzled."  The artwork will take the form of a photograph, as it did in the last project, with the added option of building a puzzle "set" first and then taking your photo.  You can provide a teleport link in your notecard to the "set" if you like.  Alternatively you can find inspiration in world and use it as your "set" for the photo.  Photos can be placed in the village starting the week of August 9th with a theme session scheduled for Monday, August 16th, 2PM after the 1PM regular PaB session.

I was inspired once again by the recent theme session with Pema and Eliza on Time and Being:

Pema Pera: yes, if Being is playing us, then the us we normally think we are has no control; it's all Being playing . . . and "we" have been Being all along . . . .

Bleu Oleander: i think so

Pema Pera: and that can be a very very liberating message, already on the level of an idea, at first

Pema Pera: and then when we let the idea blossom, come to life, we can begin to feel and explore it

Pema Pera: and the "pieces in the puzzle" may fit!

Pema Pera: because it's all Being's puzzle in the first place

Bleu Oleander: nice metaphor the puzzle

Bleu Oleander: puzzles are timeless in a sense

Bleu Oleander: but placing the pieces are in time

SophiaSharon Larnia: do you think it's possible to drop the notion of change also?

Pema Pera: and I love the compassionate way you brought in that puzzle sense, Adams!

Eliza Madrigal: When I work on a puzzle, I'm amazed at how quickly it comes together when I relax and 'let' it kind of unwind the tension of my trying to figure it all out

Pema Pera: yes, and the dropping should go beyond both change and non-change, to something richer than either @ Sharon

Bleu Oleander: richness is the reward
