FREE PICASSO'S TO THE PEOPLE!
Blessed solstice! Traveling before our tourists come is eye opening! I love the people like I love the sea but people distract attention from the awe of nature. Culture takes from nature. Nature just gives. #familytravel (at Kournas Lake, Crete) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqDdnK9jjAh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Predictions 2023, made in my favorite hour of the day, surrounded by Poseidon & his effects: 1. Friction (between the unipolar & multipolar iterations of the world) goes on & intensifies; 2. today’s GPT & other AGI advances & takes over; more social institutions collapse & reform; 3. many starts & many “Apò mēkhanês Theós” (Deus ex Machina) events. No point in holding tight. Might as well go with the flow! ➡️Scroll for beauty that’s timeless!🎇➡️ (at Chania - Venetian Harbour) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm3-9e-rjYp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is the first Christmas I spend in Greece since I was 14 years old. It’s the first Christmas I have had without Dad. It’s the first Christmas when Mom (seen in my glasses) takes the photos. (at Chania - Venetian Harbour) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmoBQGRrMie/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So much of what we know is a reflection we see of ourselves in the world, of the world in others, & of ourselves in others that we have come to think of art as the mere play of reflections. I don’t think hide & seek or framing & reframing of the same old narratives is art. I think art has to be iconoclastic. It must break the mirrors. It must change the very things that we perceive. ⏩️➡️ “There must be fresh springs.” (at Art Basel Miami Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cma-ocouXrQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Holiday spirit is People spirit, a season when we focus on our favorite humans & celebrate our heart & soul connections. In this tradition, I celebrate all my happy reunions of the past month ➡️ & take none of you for granted. Thank you for staying true & loyal through the whirlwinds & maelstroms of time.

Sunday afternoon with these tranquil guards whose stillness absorbs my restlessness. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission #FWC voted recently to change the regulatory status of iguanas to invasive reptiles moved from “Class 3” to “Prohibited” species; now Miami encourages residents to hire catchers & exterminators to butcher them or release them in the Everglades. Because I admire their open sense of time & their ability to go from peace to violence & back to peace in seconds, I give them safe harbor. Don’t you?

Sunday afternoon with these tranquil guards whose stillness absorbs my restlessness until I feel anchored. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission #FWC voted recently to change the regulatory status of iguanas to invasive reptiles moved from “Class 3” to “Prohibited” species. Miami encourages residents to hire catchers & exterminators to butcher them or release them in the Everglades. Because I admire their open sense of time & their ability to go from peace to violence & back to peace in seconds, I give them safe harbor. I hope you do too.

Gnosis is more a wild hunger for, than an acquisition or an accumulation of, knowledge. We gotta chase knowledge, look for it, pursue it, knowing that in the end the most we’ll ever know is how little we actually know (to paraphrase my famous ancestor). We access knowledge through the imagination more readily than through reason, & #art is a gateway to transformational gnosis. So here are 9 pieces of art that moved me last week as I stood inches from them, electrified. ⏩️ (I started with Francis Bacon & ended with Tom Sacks) (at Art Basel Miami Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl_J3oALp-5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
