Nature Branches (a WIP) | Shalom's Blog

Nature Branches (a WIP). I’m fascinated by the organic forms of nature, and the natural branching patterns of growth that happens in all forms of life. In my previous post, Solar Powered. I posted a sketch that I recently made in Photoshop, which was a reference for a piece that I wanted to create in 3D. I created the model in ZBrush, and then textured it in Cinema 4D. Here’s a preview render of the image:. And here’s a 3D version of this model, which I posted on SketchFab. In Safari, open the Safari.

The Enchanted Forest 2012 DJ Mix | Shalom's Blog
http://blog.shalomormsby.com/enchanted-forest-2012-mix
Enchanted Forest 2012 Mix. I love this mix, “ Enchanted Forest 2012,. 8221; by Alia. 8230; and if you like deep, soulful electronic music with San Francisco spirit, then you probably will too. It’s a funky, inspired soundtrack to play for creative jams. It reminds me of a magical time spent in a redwood forest with old giant friends. Here’s a photo I took of a few of them, which I think pairs nicely with the mix. Here’s the track list for this mix:. Regeneration by David Antony Clark (birds chirping).

Eckhart Tolle | Shalom's Blog
http://blog.shalomormsby.com/eckhart-tolle
Eckhart Tolle, Artist of Being. Once we’d all turned off our phones and were silent, Eckhart made his appearance. He walked out onto the stage, slowly, gently, and mindfully. Watching him reminded me of walking meditation practice. This time, rather than silently holding up a literal flower, the flower was awareness itself. He sat. He breathed. He smiled. In silence. We held the silence together. We smiled. We’re not waiting for anything to happen. He laughs. Light dances in his playful eyes. Being No se...

The Power of Attitude. There’s a saying you may have heard already: “Your attitude determines your altitude.” I’m struck by how much truth is packed into this little idea. There’s a lot I can’t control in the world – most things, actually – but one thing I. So how’s your attitude today, and how is it affecting the way you’re living, right this moment? If it needs a little lift, this little champion of good vibes might be able to help you out:. 2D and 3D Art from San Francisco, CA.

It’s no surprise to me that many wise ancient cultures worshipped the sun. We all owe our lives to the life-giving, godlike power of our radiant sun. This sketch (which I made in Photoshop) is an exploration of this truth, and the relationship between the raw, primordial power of the sun and the intricate organic self-organizing forms of nature. Feeling this appreciation of the sun, I’m reminded of a poem by one of my favorite poets, the Sufi mystic, Hafiz:. The sun’s eyes are painting fields again.

Breaching Humpback Whale Animation. I shot this sequence of photos while I was on a boat tour with my father run by the Pacific Whale Foundation. The mother was accompanied by her baby calf, who had just been born. The captain of the ship lowered a hydrophone into the ocean, which enabled us to hear their beautiful, creative songs. I was awed by the power and majesty of these gentle giants. Here’s a recording by Captain Gene. Of a humpback whale virtuoso, which sounded similar to what I heard:.

Why Meditate? | Shalom's Blog
http://blog.shalomormsby.com/why-meditate
8220;We are all Buddhas by nature; it’s only temporary obscurations that veil this fact.”. 8211; Dzogchen teaching. By nature, we are all Buddhas. If we trust this teaching, this means that there’s nothing we can do to make this. The fitting tool for every human experience. Life often calls for a quiet, clear mind, which allows ourselves direct contact with the depths of our beings, with our hearts. This happens from both the outside-in (from the outer world into the self), and from inside-out...Zen M...
