Our Universe Is A Sea

Never Try To Stop The Thoughts. If You Try To Stop The Thoughts They Will Become Bigger And Greater And They Will Win. Because The Mind Appears To Be Very Powerful. Yet In Reality The Mind Does Not Exist. There Is No Mind. There Is No Such Thing As A Mind. So When You Sit In The Silence You Observe, You Watch, You Become The Witness.

No Matter How Many Times I Tell You This, You're Still Thinking, Thinking, Judging, Judging, Coming To Conclusions, Trying To Work Out Your Life. You Have To Let Go. Totally, Absolutely, Completely. You Have To Let Go So Completely That You Will Feel No Body, No Mind, No Pain, Nothing.

I Thought I Was Taking Pictures Of Things That I Hated. But There Was Something About These Pictures. They Were Unexpectedly, Disconcertingly Glorious.

Do Not Allow Your Thoughts To Become Greater Than You. No Matter What Your Thoughts Tell You, Don't Listen. Remember Your Thoughts Are Not Your Friend. Your Thoughts Try To Confound You, Confuse You. And They Will Tell You All Kinds Of Things. Do Not Listen To Your Thoughts, Even Your Good Thoughts. Transcend Everything, Go Beyond Your Thoughts To Your Bliss, To Your Joy And To Your Happiness.

Larry Schwarm's Photographs Of Fire On The Prairie Are So Compelling That I Cannot Imagine Any Later Photographer Trying To Do Better. His Pictures Convince Us That Seemingly Far Away Events Are Close By, Relevant To Any Serious Person's Life.
