no matter what a new day brings or how i feel, we still have to sit on the hill after our walk and quietly observe... without involvement, judgement, thinking or talk... just in silence. #luka #wisedog #animalsarethebest #heisaweirdo #lovehim #cooldog #bestdog #rescuedog #adoptdontshop #vancouver #pacificspiritpark #northfolks #masterluka (at Pacific Spirit Regional Park)

we have pain. but we also have this.

for open minded warriors who are after truth, freedom and health.

repost from @nomyourself ❤ Painting by Jackson Thilenius. If you think your pain is completely different than animals (not even comparable in a way), think again! If you think the war we have between humans today has nothing to do with billions of animals being slaughtered every year, well think again too! Consciousness is a shared experience, not just for humans but for every living beings on this earth. If we don't change the way we see them, change their story from prison like captive life to slaughterhouses, then that means we don't care about our own suffering too. What you eat has a major effect on how you think in my opinion. If you keep eating an animal suffered, and stressed its whole life and prisoned until it's a dead food on your plate, then one way or another, you will feel sick too. You just won't be conscious enough to know why! I can't expect everyone to go plant based but we can definitely be more conscious about what we eat and how my food choices affect our environment, our kids, other human beings. If it's not for animal cruelty, it could be for health; if it's not for health, it could be environment; if that's not enough reason for you to eat less meat, then you don't care about future. Plants are future. Whether you get on board or not.

when I talk too much about things and when he loses the track of what I say...

i give myself permission to look silly, imperfect and uncool. i am still enough to make things, play, have fun and let everything else go.

this project was inspired by Kate Weybret’s Minimalist Food Photography: Capturing the Beauty of Raw Food class at skillshare. it was about exploring the beauty of food by capturing 5 images of a raw fruit or vegetable. i chose red bell pepper as my subject since i love red bell peppers and white marble cutting board as my background. this project was a good practice for me in a way that it actually changed how i look at my subject and helped me to see the details i wouldn't normally see while I was shooting. 

you can see the detailed captures at my portfolio page.

the journey to acceptance is about discovering what we need to let go of, rather than what we need to start doing.

[zintaskiran]

when you smile and then act (rather than react), your heart takes the lead and kindness becomes more possible. 

[zintaskiran]

stop whatever you're doing or thinking at this moment. just be still for a sec and look.

what do you see?

my "Orange Rush" food mission photo was in The Vancouver Sun newspaper yesterday.

"...We're so helpless. We're slaves to our impulses. We're afraid of our emotions. And no one knows where the shore is. We're divided by the ocean. And the only thing I know is that the answer isn't for us. No the answer isn't for us..."

how i feel sometimes! 

[zintaskiran]

i was in the Province newspaper on Sunday, November 3. my first Gastropost photo has been published! Feels nice!

My dear friend once told me that “nothing feels like baking your own bread at home.”

He is right!

If you want to become more conscious about the food on your plate, start cooking your own food or simply bake a bread! You just feel connected to the Earth once again, and appreciate everything else in your life even more.

(Home made bread with rosemary and chia seeds.)
