Forgotten Selves

June 3 - July 2, 2016
When we ignore the realms beyond consciousness , we ignore our connections to the larger community of living beings, most of which, over immense spans of time, have lived and died without once awakening. Plants are reminders of the structures that sustain consciousness. Plants are reminders of our forgotten selves.
