Hi Scott,
Revealed is very active and I'm excited to announce Los Angeles as our next city on July 20th-22nd. I am currently accepting subjects for these dates. Rod Weiner, of Furnace Pictures, will be there photographing more for his documentary film he began last year in Lawrence and then NYC. I'm SUPER excited to bring this project to LA.

I have been adding more subjects online. You can view them at two different locations. The main "Flash" version of Revealed is here and it shows a tad over 30 subjects. You can also view the html version of Revealed here and it has about 60+ subjects online so far. I'm adding more subjects as time permits and I think we are at about 80 subjects.

I'm still working on the details on making this a book. I expect to have an announcement this summer about the status of a book. I'm sure one will be out within a year. The documentary film most likely will not be completed until Spring of 2008. At times I really want to rush this project and have it all done. As things are "held-up" in my eyes, I soon realize there was a reason for it and I am trusting the universe that this project will unfold with perfect timing. :)

Oh. One more thing. Please forward this newsletter to your friends! There is a link at the bottom to forward an email. Your friend can sign-up on the e-newsletter mailing list here.

I chose to put a small ball of clay in my box. The clay represents a visual image that I have had of my . . . soul . . . or my . . . self for as long as I can remember. The clay, while appearing unformed, has touched my fingers and palms thousands of times. When I look closely I can see a touch of finger print here and there; a dent made by my knuckle; a small ridge where the clay formed between my index and middle fingers . . . All of these light touches inform the shape of the clay.

In the same way, when I imagine the spirit essence of me I see a shape that is constantly being refined and determined by the decisions that I make and the intentions that I have. I believe that the shape is much more affected by the thousands of seemingly inconsequential decisions I make everyday, then the few momentous life decisions. There is also a sense in me that the more I can live my life from a place of integrety with good intention -- where my intentions, words and actions are in alignment, the more pleasing . . . or perfect the shape of my soul becomes.

I also chose to place a small prayer bowl on the box. The prayer bowl represents the mystery and joy of spirit in my life. It is also a symbol of my belief in the power of intentions . . . and the over-riding importance of good intentions. Finally the prayer bowl was made by me . . . and the fact that I shaped it . . . with the consciouse intention that, while not perfectly made, the bowl would be perfect for it's use . . . represents the very joyful and creative realization of creation from spirit . . . and so it is.

My connection to the universe is a child-like, playful feeling. Like laughter. And not a day goes by that I don't smile at God's mysteries, practical cosmic jokes, and wicked sense of humor! I feel it in my chest, as if it's been blown wide open with gratitude. It's a moving, flowing, spinning, sensation that every single thing is in simple perfection - feeling of connection to everyone, everything. And in those moments when I'm aware of my connection, I create the most unexplainable magic - helping remind me that I too am God and that anything is possible.

Help in LA requested
I am looking to keep our LA expenses to a minimum to reduce my financial stress on this project. :) My two largest expenses for LA will be lodging and a studio. If you know of a place at a reasonable cost for two of us to stay (2 beds/rooms) or a studio (about 300sq feet or larger, less windows the better) please contact me. Thank you very much!
