Thought
divides knowing into a knower and the known,
loving into a lover and the beloved, and perceiving into a
perceiver and the perceived. As such, it is thought alone
that abstracts a subject and an object from the seamless,
unnamable intimacy of pure Knowing or Experiencing.

are a sense apparatus for raw life, raw consciousness,
which feels through us as instruments with five or more
senses.” ~ Mukti
"Photography
can change the world."
Over the years I have delighted
in sharing photographs here,
with our brilliant Alan
Larus being the main source. Sometimes they
go with words or poems, and
one reflects the other. Or wordless,
the image speaks alone. I
am excited to have found a whole video
of good photographers
saying what they want to convey with their
images, and what of themselves
goes into their work. It's fantastic
listening and viewing.
“As soon as I was with those
animals, I realized I was home
in a way, and I knew I could be a voice for things that can’t
talk," says wildlife photographer Michael Nichols. Discover
how Nichols pushes boundaries to tell stories in unique ways
and capture never-before-seen views of rare animals.

He has photographed nearly 30
stories during his time with
National Geographic and considers the ultimate success of
his photographs to be their influence in creating national
parks to protect land for animals. —Caitlin Kleiboer,
