Time and the Mermaid2016

“slipping the leash, returning to the source…”
The 64 year-old birthday girl sits captive to the ticking of an antique clock. Time opens; it flows as a mighty river, singing of life and freedom – her epiphany.

Preview audiences:

“I sensed that it had a personal message for me about aging… it parallels my own path to confronting the shortness of time remaining: as Buddhism teaches, clinging to the expectation that nothing will change leads to suffering.  Freedom comes with submerging into the big picture of life from the dolphins to the stars.  We can’t stay with that perspective constantly, but if we keep open to it, the trap of time loses its grip. I wonder if the final scene is meant to suggest the process of bringing the epiphany into daily life.”

“I will be turning 60 in a couple of months.  For me, I felt the fear of time running out, what had I accomplished, what could I have accomplished or been, and that I could stay shackled by those fears or jump into the river and enjoy the time.  Thank you so much for sharing this with me.  May I share it with others?”

“Beautiful sequences of water, and compelling explorations of different flavors of time. They left me open beyond, and yet through, the physical in a timeless sort of way…   a wonderful introduction or jump start into meditation practice, and made me think about/for clients.”
