Communion with Nonduality

On February 24, the world changed. Panic, frustration, anxiety, fear hung in the air. To get my mind off dark thoughts , I started shooting black& white pictures with a half-frame camera. Tension, numerous unanswered questions led me to study various spiritual traditions and practices. In an attempt to transcend the cognition and situations of current life, I took up transcendental meditation. And the philosophical doctrine of non-duality Advaita made me think about the nature of reality.
