The Perfect Way knows no difficulties
Except that it refuses to make preferences;
Only when freed from hate and love,
It reveals itself fully and without disguise

An extract from a story and Taoist wisdom for ‘open-minded opponents’ of Spanish bullfighting

“The young activist arrived from Barcelona in the middle of the festival. Her name was Olivia. She was twenty-three years old, a member of an animal rights organization. She had come to protest the encierro, to document the cruelty, to demand an end to the killing. She had brought a camera, a notebook, a heart full of righteous anger.
She found Amaia at dawn, standing at her kitchen door with the red carnation. She raised her camera. She was ready to document the barbarism, the primitive ritual, the celebration of death.
"What are you doing?" Olivia asked, her voice sharp. "Are you praying for the runners? For the matadors? For this... festival of blood?"
Amaia opened her eyes. She looked at the young woman, at her camera, at the anger in her face. She did not react with anger. She smiled.
"No," she said. "I am praying for the bulls. I thank them. I thank them for their lives. I thank them for their death. I thank them for the gift they are about to give."
Olivia stared at her. "A gift? You call killing a gift?"
Amaia nodded slowly. "Yes. A gift. The bull gives its life. We receive it. That is the ancient covenant. The covenant that has existed since the first hunter killed the first animal and offered thanks. You come from the city, where meat comes wrapped in plastic. You do not see the death. You do not see the blood. You do not see the transformation. But the death is still there. It is just hidden. Here, in Pamplona, we do not hide it. We face it. We honor it. We give thanks."
She paused. She placed the carnation on the doorstep.
"Zhuangzi, the old Taoist sage, had a teaching about this. When his wife died, his friend found him singing and beating on a pot. The friend was shocked. 'Your wife is dead!' he said. 'How can you sing?' And Zhuangzi said: 'When she died, I wept. But then I remembered that before she was born, she had no form. Then she took form. Then she was born. Then she lived. Then she grew old. Then she died. And now she returns to the formless. It is like the passing of the seasons. She is not gone. She has only changed form. Why should I weep?'"
She looked at Olivia. "The bull is the same. Before it was born, it had no form. Then it took form. It lived. It ran through these streets, feeling the wind in its horns, the sun on its back. And today it will die. But it is not the end. It will return to the formless. And its flesh will become our flesh. Its life will become our life. That is not cruelty. That is transformation. That is the Dao, turning the wheel of existence. The sage does not mourn the turning. The sage sings."
Olivia lowered her camera. She did not know what to say. The anger in her chest had not disappeared, but it had shifted. Something had entered it. A question. A doubt. A door that had opened a crack.
She stayed in Pamplona for the rest of the festival. She did not protest. She did not document. She simply sat in Amaia's kitchen, watching the cook prepare the estofado de toro. She watched the reverence with which Amaia handled the meat. She listened to the prayers she whispered as she stirred the pot. And she began to understand – not with her mind, but with something deeper – that life and death are not opposites. They are one process. One transformation. One Dao.
When she returned to Barcelona, she was a different kind of activist. She still fought for the welfare of animals. But she no longer fought with anger. She fought with reverence. She understood that the goal was not to end death, but to honor it. Not to escape transformation, but to embrace it. And when people asked her what had changed her, she would smile and say: "A cook in Pamplona. She taught me that the bull is not an enemy. The bull is a brother. And the death that feeds life is a gift.”

“The best way [Great Way, the Tao] is not difficult
It only excludes picking and choosing
Once you stop loving and hating
It will enlighten itself.”
Shinjinmei

Only the sky is the limit of your wildest imaginations

Here you’ll find all my photos of the spectacular event between heaven and earth „Red Bull King of the Air, Tarifa“: Link

How are such almost superhuman jumps of up to 50 metres possible on a kiteboard? What drives the "I" of these top athletes to keep pushing their own "supposed" limits?
Quite simply: in these moments, we experience the unique feeling of FLOW [Link Wikipedia] : in our passionate sport, we suddenly connect with the unrestricted, non-dual, connected SELF [Link YouTube] beyond the narrow performance limits of our dual I/EGOS

Reflection of the true SELF beyond magical eyes

Andalucía BEYOND Duality
photographed by Hans

Being able to experience our wonderful life BEYOND dual separation in the HERE&NOW…
…is a decisive advantage in photography when looking through the camera - just as it is when communicating through the guitar in music. Link to the explanation of this nondual experience by Deepak Chopra here.

In Andalusia, there are three main cultural events whose fascinating facets often elude the dual-critical understanding of many people in the world - you simply have to experience them live on site: Semana Santa, the Feria de Abril and the Corridas. Consequently, these special moments, which connect us emotionally in a non-dual, magical way, form the focus of my photographic work in Andalusia, a region whose unifying wisdom of life deeply touches my soul every day anew.

Corrida

An explanation of the unique artistry of Morante🐂 and Messi⚽️ BEYOND the very limited perception of reality offered by our eyes (this is also one of the core principles of the ‘Book of Five Rings’, the samurai’s bible ⚔️: ‘Act with the spirit, not with the eyes. What you see with your eyes is only the surface’. The ordinary bullfighter sees the bull: a massive, dangerous animal that wants to charge him with its horns. But the master sees the bull’s movements before they happen. He senses the animal’s strength, its direction, its temperament, its fear. He sees the space between the force and the movement, and that is where he makes his move. Not against the bull, but with it. Like the wind, which bends the tall grass without breaking it.
