I found this on the incredibly thought provoking Long Now Foundation blog – It’s a film by a New York-based photographer, Noah Kalina. Kalina took a photo of himself every day for six years. Art seems to be one of the most effective ways to reflect on the emotional and physical states of being alive in a body…

If we’re still reincarnating on earth in a billion years, we’re going to want to know what this guy knows!

A small glimpse into a timeline of epic scale.

We reincarnationists often spend time reflecting on who we once were or who we shall be in the future, but a more befuddling question may be: who are we right Now?

“Loving-kindness (maitri) toward ourselves doesn’t mean getting
rid of anything. Maitri means that we can still be crazy, we can still
be angry. We can still be timid or jealous or full of feelings of
unworthiness. practice isn’t about trying to throw
ourselves away or become something better. It’s about befriending who
we are already.”
