Frida Kahlo Park & Musings in Mexico

Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) is a world class painter. Her turbulent marriage with equally well-known painter Diego Rivera is revealed in film, books. letters and paintings.

Frida’s short life was greatly impacted by a tragic bus accident requiring 30 operations. Her paintings were portraits, self-portraits, artefacts of nature/Mexican culture. Two of Frida’s extraordinary paintings are My Birth and The Two Fridas.

Frida’s life and work embraces personal pain, suffering, dying and death. Musings arising from immersion in her life experiences prompted from within me a deep in the night tumbling expression of words.

Revolving Doors of Suffering and Sorrow

Birth. Death. Bardo.

Birth. Death. Bardo.

Repeat ad infinitum.

In Buddhism ‘bardo’ is an intermediate transitional state between death and rebirth. The bardo state refers in a general sense to gaps in our reality, in the space-time fabric, where we can let go of our usual ego/self identity.

That gap, that space may be a flicker of light seen from one’s periphery acting as a crack in one’s mindstream. A momentary interruption in time and direction points to possibilities and infinite potentials not considered.

Maybe you have been training to create gaps; prayer, yoga, meditation, nature based activity. Or, the gap has spontaneously exploded onto and into the screen of your experienced reality. Cognitive dissonance is one form of a roller coaster awakening.

We are in profound times. Deeply troubling times. Times of unbelievable disclosure. Gaps and cracks are appearing daily and hourly.

Your true ground is inside you. It is not external, it is not outside you in the projected out-there reality.

Travel inwards to who you truly are. Magnificent. Everloving. Be the force in space. Space force united as one. Aligned together. Love and compassion in action.

Become Soul Infused Blessed One. Now.
