Ryan is Life, incarnated.
He is the 3 cycles of life..
Self-maintaining, Self-renewing, and Self-transcending.
Right away you sense that he is different, if not special.
Most people don't breathe through their culture.
Most people don't oscillate between love and fear
while highlighting their illusions.
Most people aren't addicted to growth.
Most people won't intimidate by the strength of their intentions.
Most people aren't in the business of evolving.
Ryan has a great desire to laugh at the world that has plagued him,
to be free, to see clearly, and to eventually allow the inner dialog to stop.
This dialog will be the death of him, and the birth of him.
He is a personality so conflicted for the sake of art and growth, love and hate,
that he lives inside a working paradox. He is dualistic so that he may eventually,
have a more comprehensive understanding of the Truth.
Genius is restless,
Wisdom is a visceral experience,
and both are his mentors.
He is an artist that fancies momentary
and powerful connections that lead him
to spaces of peace and timelessness.
He is learning to slow down. If you meet him, you will not forget him.
If you read his words you will not forget their energy.
His Voice is an organ as strong as his heart,
with perhaps a more crucial and
venturesome need for expression.
That voice was given as an unmistakable
calling to analyze perception,
as well as the presence of mind to write the shit down.
Most people prefer blindness.
Most people are a dying race...
Not Ryan…
He Remains
