ᝰ THE STORY

Samsara—the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth—finds its reflection in the rhythmic dance of rice cultivation, a tradition that has shaped Indonesia for over 8,000 years. As generations pass, the land remains, its surface etched with the footprints of those who have toiled before, their knowledge flowing like an unbroken river into the hands of the present.

This photograph captures the infinite repetition of that cycle. Cascading rice terraces stretch endlessly, folding into the contours of the earth, their patterns mirroring the flow of time itself. In their midst, an old farmer moves with quiet familiarity, his bare feet pressing into the damp soil, carrying a wooden pole hung with smaller branches—perhaps gathered as fuel for the evening fire. His presence is effortless, as though he has always been here, as though he belongs to the land as much as the rice itself.

Despite the rapid changes sweeping across the archipelago, agriculture remains the lifeblood of countless villages. Yet, as younger generations drift toward the cities, the burden of cultivation rests increasingly on the elders, their hands weaving the last threads of a disappearing way of life.

The rice paddies in this image shimmer with fresh growth, alternating between flooded fields and tender new shoots, a testament to the land’s fertility—an earth that has nourished countless lives and will continue to do so for those who remain. Here, time is not linear but circular, each harvest folding into the next, just as the old give way to the young.

Samsara is not just a photograph—it is a meditation on continuity, a living tableau of an Indonesia that endures, ever-repeating, ever-renewing, bound to the land and its unbroken rhythm.

      Source Naturals Melatonin is the best!
      My husband and I have been using Source Naturals Melatonin for almost 25 years. I have tried a few other brands, and I definitely think Source Naturals is the best! I once saw a program on Discovery channel about how Melatonin is an important heart antioxidant, and that after age 40 the Melatonin in our system goes way down. We had also just moved to a high altitude town, and I was having great difficulty sleeping because of the high altitude. We started taking Source Naturals Melatonin, and I was able to sleep like a baby. I really recommend the time release especially, and we also take a 1 mg sublingual lozenge to fall asleep more quickly.

      The Three (3) Pillars of my bedrock testimony have been destroyed
      Format: Paperback
      Having been born and reared in the Church, it was not merely a "church," but it was "The Only True Church on the Face of the Earth." It was my identity, I served a misson, Branch President, H.P., Stake Mission President, sending my son on his mission next week, so imagine my sense of betrayal, and the helplessness and confusion I felt after reading this book. My three (3) pillars were: (1) a young man may spawn a lie, for personal motivations, but he can still be a Prophet, and nobody would carry a lie so far as to be killed for it; (2) No man could have written the Book of Mormon; and (3) the Temple Ceremony is so sacred and unusual that it could not have been imagined or contrived. Well, this most carefully documented, carefully written, carefully researched book, has all but destroyed my pillars. Fawn Brodie, Niece of the Prophet, David O. McKay, has done meticulous research and I have searched for but never found or read an official LDS Church response or debunking of it; I've searched the BYU F.A.R.M.S. site hoping for an academic, honest review of her evidence and hoping to find that Ms. Brodie's research was flawed or dishonest. But despite my motivations and wide-spread search, I have never read a criticism of her sources, or documented proof that her research is false, or that her conclusions are false, only that she had an agenda and some of her conclusions are specious and not well supported. Well, that is simply disengenuous criticism. To say that Ms. Brodie can only prove "A, B, C, and D," but "jumps" to a conclusion that "E" exists, is simply blind faith ignorance and dishonest academia. This book constitutes the "mysteries," that the Church teaches its members to stay away from. But it is hardly a mystery. This book explains with a clarity and insight never-before heard by an LDS member, how Joseph Smith wrote the Book of Mormon, how he practiced polygamy before receiving the alleged revelation; why he was tarred and feathered; exactly where the Temple signs and symbols came from; the extent Joseph would go to protect his power and authority, and many more "mysteries." No active member of the Church should read this book lest their eyes be opened. It hurts! Truth is not pleasant sometimes, why should it be. I just wanted it "straight," I didn't want to be lied to any longer. If the Church simply said, "we're a good church, doing good deeds, helping the poor, please give your tithes to help us, I would most certainly go. But the Church says, "we are the only true and living church on the face of the earth." To me, that's a challenge to find out for myself, which I did. Now, I am a "mormon in recovery." My entire belief system, every single word I've ever been taught, is a lie. I am undone. Now I must look to God, for answers that I thought only the LDS Church had.
