The book has arrived this morning!

It’s a com­pi­lation of the stories we’ve started to write about a year ago (Sept. 12 2007 to be accurate) at 8 hands (Tracy’s, Lee Muir’s, Jib’s and mine). Circle of Eights the title, is a ref­erence at the inter­locking circles that brought our interests together, as sym­bolized by the pseu­donym for the author’s name which is made by merging our nick­names.
It is much more than one story actually, and quite dif­ficult to sum­marize as it’s inter­active, non-linear, and spans many interests at once. A bit of a chal­lenge to get the hang of it, but immensely rewarding in fun.

We’ve decided to publish a first volume of these stories as much for our own per­sonal pleasure as it’s also a way to have the content more easily explored. Coin­ci­den­tally, the 888^th addition to the stories was made on August 8^th 2008, but it’s only one of the many syn­chronic­ities that sur­rounded the creation.

I chose Lulu to print the book, which is a self-publishing service, and the quality is really great, as you can tell on the pictures.

It’s a really large book (350 pages black and white, perfect bound). The exterior (paperback) is all shiny and Tracy’s picture of the cave in Jimena, Spain is looking awesome on the back.

A look inside, with illus­tra­tions I created along the stories

Woohoo

Ideas and inspi­ration are much like plants. Usually they don’t require our attention to grow by them­selves in nature, and some of them, like dew­berries, are even sweeter and more deli­cious when picked on their wild thorny bushes than in a neatly groomed garden. But when we want to save our­selves the hunt for the fruits, there is mutual benefit found for both the hungry human and the plant in a gar­dening coop­er­ation.
However, no matter how stubborn and greedy humans may be, nature still has its say. When the soil isn’t ade­quate, or when it isn’t time, then, no point in digging to stretch the roots, like tra­di­tional Chinese wisdom says. And in the reverse, no matter what, it’s amazing how these smallest things grow when you trust they will.

Last night’s dream was another incursion into one of those eeriest sce­narios of the psyche, both with a dash of famil­iarity and utter abberancy.

Having said that, it is remarkable that once again, it ties into many of the interests that have occupied my sphere (or shall I say cube) of attention these past few days. This post is thus an attempt at detailing some of these con­nec­tions and points that I found of significance.

25 years and my life is still
I’m trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a des­ti­nation
(From 4 Non Blondes’ What’s Up)

I had an inter­esting dream tonight, well as almost every night, but this one stuck with me a bit, espe­cially as I was reminded of the What’s Up song “coincidentally”.

In that dream, the premises were about a sort of prophecy that some ruler or cor­po­ration would not be able to rule as they wanted as long as there would be children. Appar­ently, children were being kid­napped in that futur­istic envi­ronment, and the dream started with a landing.

“This is truly the nature of your essence. You have only com­pli­cated this focus, but you are now learning to move back to the effort­lessness of your essence. You do not work at dreaming. This is just as much a part of your essence and your reality as your waking state. Your waking state may be as effortless as your sleeping state. We are of under­standing that you are quite happy and com­fortable with sleeping states. Waking states may be as easy as this.” [session 11, May 31, 1995]

Makes me think of this other quote I heard yesterday

Where there is love, there is no effort…

Just a high­light on my last painting update…

I’ve been doing this painting trying to show the intri­cacies and inter­min­gling of our essences and worlds views in writing our group fiction.
[NB: Naasir is the name of the dragon central yet peripheral to the all group story]

Then I just thought, oh, why not try to make a new panorama out of this picture, as it would better capture the sense of fullness and the “no-beginning-nor-end” of the interactions.

Heck, these panoramas take quite some time to put together, but the result is worth the sweating

Enough said, just click on the link below:
