Devotion to Mystery
How may I know this mystery and enter it more deeply?My attention is enthralled by a myriad of forms, Innumerable individual entities everywhere,Flashing into existence and fading away again.Lead me into the wholeness beyond all these parts.Self shot in 2023 with Goblin Goddesshttps://www.instagram.com/goblingoddesss?igsh=MWUycGxmMHdvdHNwZw==For Lumbar, although many of you have seen this before.
Good things inbound
Coming back from a quick stint across the 4 corners to S. Utah. It was great to be in the low desert again. I’ll be back here for a longer period of time next month for even more good things. There’s a few specific trees and rocks I need to visit that I didn’t get to on this trip…. I’m not back yet so in the meantime enjoy this no context slice.
Throwback Tuesday on Thursday
Ok I hope that the second half of this album isn’t a throwback set that I already shared. I don’t think so? But who knows and there is absolutely no way I could go back and browse any sort of post history to find out…The first image is actually one I came across while putting together this throwback set and had forgotten about. I then revisited all the images I shot on this day and made a little series that I’ll share soon for Lumbar+. So thanks for giving me a reason to visit things with a new perspective! Wow so nice of you.For anyone...

Vishudda Vitals [may 1] (IG for Lumbar)
“To finding your truth through exploration and then letting it carry you. To opening your heart without giving yourself away. May! My Saturn return comes to a close this month alongside my birthday. These are my birthday moths. I already let them break my heart a dozen times and teach me so much. I’m leaning fully into the subtleties/dualities/metaphors and letting them build into big potent moving joy and wonder. The decidedly rare red spot morph (first image) is my special boy. Their last and most magnificent form only lasts about a week ...
Bristlecone Mountain High
🟡🟠🟢🔵🟣Not self portraits! These were taken way up on Mt. Evans amongst the fat marmots and ye olde bristcones. It was such a treat to pose with these 2,500 year old trees. Shot on Leica by Stephen Podraski, one of the few dozen or so photographers I’ll shoot with. I love creating with Stephen so much that I’ll even do a studio shoot with him, which I shared part of a few weeks back. For Thoracic+
T minus 2 days until I go alpine and turn into a cloud of bats
Preview Preview Preview Needless to say I’m not doing any more editing or work in between now and then. If I said I’d get you your thing by a certain time on the front end of this, I lied. See you on the other side 😎If you want to send me something for my birthday, my Venmo is @pranamachine, and I’ll share with you some of the antics I get into this weekend in return.
Mayday
Preview text: buttsButtsYeah I can’t remove preview text on mobile. It’s my birthday on the 11th. I’m turning 30 what the FUCK. I’m not flirty ok I’m flirty and I’m also dirty. Someone egg me in the forest. It’s devastating to be sick and have 10% of normie capacity on a good day!!!!! I’m so proud for finding magic and making art anyways. My ability to create the vibe is part of why I’m still here. I create it for myself through the hard parts which is every single part. No one who is able bodied will ever be able to put their...
Earth Daze (IG 4 U)
I actually posted on Instagram. They’re so lucky. That’s all they get though. Here’s a Lumbar post! It’s been a minute. Seriously why are you part of the $5 club you could pay $10 more and get 500x more pictures (rough math). I am totally exhausted from being alive today but gonna try to go outside and take a pic. What’s your excuse yeah you don’t have one. Go outside and get yourself some free brain drugs today while supplies last (climate change). Love.
Eclipse Day
Happy eclipse day. Today is a lot more special than any made up capitalist, colonialist holiday that get its own Starbucks single use cup iteration. I had to cancel my very special eclipse trip with my best friends and I am sad like something fierce. In that same vein I wasn’t really able to take any kind-of-eclipse pics in Colorado today, and have resigned myself to indoor activities. All of this, including the photography and the Patreon, are soul surrogates for the things that typically support my prana and my contentment and that I have b...
Scrub oak scrub
Last week or the week before now, I needed to get this body outside but couldn’t go very far. I parked next to some houses and went across an unsightly ditch for absolutely no reason and found this little clearing area that gave me just what I needed in the span of 20 minutes before my body cooled too much. I wish I had gotten more time but now I know where it is for the next time I need a quick fix.
Frizz and Frisson (2022)
Thanks for the nice comments on my Florida post last week (thoracic and up). I opened them on my phone and then snuggled my phone in bed. Really though, your witnessing me is priceless. It helps. Here’s a slice of Salt Moon from a couple years ago when I was frolicking on a beach (fucking TIME, man). I haven’t been able to feel spry lately lest I break in half so it’s nice or maybe not nice to gaze upon photos from times where I was.
