In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the organ of the heart is the ‘emperor’ of the body.

the first image is of my grandpa who was an incredible poet and immigrated here from lebanon. he loved deeply. most of his poetry is in arabic. it reminds me of rumi and hafiz and khalil gibran, who he loved. he died during covid. he loved to dance and i love this photo of him where his hands are...

november diary [8]

full moon [visual diary: 12]

fertile truth

10.31.25

see a rainbow 

translucent shawl

over cold mountains 

dark lavender 

and pale gold 

appear and disappear 

like a mirage, 

a river streams quick 

something greater is revealed in the archetypal realm

the queen of swords denotes the perceptive wisdom gained through difficult experiences. becki embodied this archetype so gracefully. it’s a blessing to make art with her.

who i am. who you are. 

and that is amazing. 

imagine knowing? 

how boring.

what happens

when you stay

and surrender

and surrender

and surrender

/

to God

rising up

the ones who Know

the deepest suffering

are the ones

/

who raised me

/

you cannot be

tough if you haven’t been

through trials and toughness

and reflected on the surface

blooming below, a dream

the birds cry and i wade

into the mirage

whispering

wise as a serpent, gentle as a dove.
