ego

Long Island City, Queens [Aug. 14, 2022]

Yesterday I walked from Williamsburg, Brooklyn (grabbed pizza at the delicious L’industrie) to Astoria, Queens. It was later in the day, and it was magical to watch the light morph all around me, creating deep shadows and highlighting the vivid colors of building facades during golden hour. The entire concrete world was defenseless against the divine power of the ephemeral light, and there was something soul stirring about this: as if the universe was visually saying ‘no matter how built up your temporal egoic constructions become, they are powerless in comparison to the eternal nature of the soul’. Here are just a few images from the walk.

[Verse 2]
I always try to set every course
(Every course, every course)
The fastest route without losing control
If I fall in and relax, will I float?
Let longings release so I see the whole deep blue sky

An honest experience of a spiritual human: caught between the ego’s desire to control and our soul’s nature to surrender. Culture screams to seek, heart whispers rest.
