Letters From Emptiness explores land and body
I arrived for my stay at OBRAS with a longing to be concentrated, in attunement. To walk, record, draw, print, repeat. To listen to a rhythm I heard with the coming of my breath.
"Although we have no actual written communication from the world of emptiness, we have some hints or suggestions about what is going on in that world... that is a letter from the world of emptiness." --Suzuki Roshi's words are a guide. To breathe each breath like it is the only one.
I wrote, "The land holds the key as it absorbs all our energies, our wanderings, forgettings, crimes, kindnesses, footsteps, bones, (and new life). Focus on the ground, as all ground is holy, each step, each instance, is a whole world." This practice is to remind myself and observe the letters from emptiness.
