Desireless Action- The Only Guaranteed Way to Avoid Wasting Your Time.

“You wasted my time! You wasted my time! This is the worst day ever!” My son screams in panic after an idyllic time eating dinner on the river bank and throwing stones in the water. I found myself telling him, “I understand that you feel panic and upset that we aren’t going to get to do what you want but that doesn't have to take away from the good time you just had. It doesn't have to be a waste.” I'm laughing at my hypocrite self as I'm saying this knowing full well this is probably the number one thing I yell at myself about internally about EV-ER-Y SIN-GLE DAY.How can we guarantee we aren't wasting our precious time on this earth?After listening to a meditation on desireless action and reading a how to poetry book, I found an answer.
What came to me has given me a renewed sense of power and relief.How can we bridge the gap between our desired result and present desire?Pretty damn easily actually...subscribe to my substack to get episodes delivered to your inbox (with pictures:)) 

ASK YOURSELF GOOD QUESTIONS (mentoring helps)

Today is about the profound impact of good questions.Introspective questions.The issue is, sometimes we forget to ask ourselves (good/non self deprecating) questions.So, having someone to talk to is really important.*someone who is more concerned with listening than speaking. *someone who is more curious and expansive than lovingly trying to brace you for impact.*someone who has the ability to ask really fucking good questions rather than offer (irrelevant) advice.
Really good questions happen when someone is listening for what you're not saying just as much as what you are saying. They happen when someone is more invested in your wellbeing than their ego or fears.
This is my lived experience of working with a mentor/coach over the last 4 years.What happens when we get asked good questions?Our world opens up.Want to read and look at pictures instead of listen? Subscribe to my substack.

An Urgency to Live, Now via Photo Journaling

“if one reaches the point where understanding fails, this is not a tragedy. It is simply a reminder to stop thinking and start looking. Perhaps there is nothing to figure out after all. Perhaps we only need to wake up.” -Thomas Merton
Perhaps it’s just a sliver.a nuanced change.from looking to seeing.Let yourself see beyond your eyes.

CONCOCTIONS: the anti recipe (?)

Concoctions: The anti recipe? no. after giving it thought, I realize concoctions inevitably become a recipe in its own way.(also, can being “for” something stop meaning we have to be “"anti” something else?)((but to be honest, anti recipe was my immediate initial thought. lol))intuitive cooking? based off a lifetime of tasting experiences, thanks to recipes (ironically).okayyyyyyyy. so what’s the difference and why do I feel so averse to one over the other?After all, a recipe is just the fine tuned & recorded end point of intuitive concocting. Essentially it’s all the same thing and the only thing that’s different is our relationship to our perception of the words and their implications.They are both beautiful.But this share will be about my deep dive into embracing my instincts in the kitchen and letting go of forcing myself to do it any other way.Every single thing you do has this innate wisdom to it. There's a strategy that you're tapping into for whatever you do when you're doing it instinctually- in the way that is natural to you. Instead of looking around at how it’s outside of the norm, the way it's usually done, or the way that most people understand- instead of using that as a weapon against yourself,
maybe take a breath and look at whatever it is you're doing through this lens of neutrality. Maybe it’s not subpar. Maybe it’s more than enough. Maybe it’s fucking genius.Interest in the visual version of this episode?Subscribe on Substack here & join the community <3

Your Art is Life & Death

One day, you will not be here. One day, everything and nothing will matter. One day, the pictures become painfully precious. One day, hindsight will show you the life you could have lived.
Right now, you are here.
Right now, everything and nothing matters. Right now, the pictures are painfully precious. Your hindsight is available to you now. Your life is available to you now.
Live that life now.
Whatever it is- connect to yourself and love yourself today.If you don’t know where to start, look to your pictures.They will tell you.They know.
This feels like the most urgent conversation we could be having.Grab the free, visual/written version of this podcast on Substack.

Is ”Why” Keeping You Stuck?

When does the quest for "why" turn into justification paralysis?Is figuring out the root cause the only key to moving forward? or is it as simple as a decision?With visual journaling I reflect on the big and little picture(s) for feelings rather than answers.NOTES from Bianca:Sacred Seeing on Substackhttps://www.instagram.com/biancaleamorra/

Photography as Meditation: Being in the pulse of your life.

waking up with a racing chest.putting your brain in front of your divine inspiration/intuition.letting yourself hear what you are trying to tell yourself through the photos you take."WAIT! I gotta get mommy a flower!" click click click.wake up. click click click. let the light in.
opens up this well of knowledge and wisdom and witnessing of yourself that can actually help you live your life more deeply.
It opens everything up to what really actually matters. The only thing that matters is right now.And right now, whatever, you're looking at, pressing a button to, there is something so earth shatteringly vital about that because you're choosing to do that.
You are intuitively choosing, “this” out of everything available to you in your whole life. This. Now.
