LIFE · COLOR · KENYA . . . an exhibit!
January 10, 2011
2010 was a memorable year for Seth Rubin Photography, most notably for it’s exciting and moving two month trip to Kenya to kick off the year. And now I’m happy to announce that just prior to the New Year, we hung the first associated exhibit in DC! Just across from the White House’s Lafayette Park, the framed photos now hang in the classy tea shop and cafe, Teaism. The warmth and vibrancy of the Kenyan people and their magical land shines in the drab winter months of this distant city . . . and all the while, just across the street from our president of Kenyan descent. (And with any luck, President Obama will join us and buy up a print!) The photographs were chosen to appeal to a wide audience, showcasing the world famous Maasai tribe, Kenya’s beautiful Maasai Mara wildlife, and stretching out to the stunning and strong portraits of the women of the Salgaa HIV/AIDS support groups.
25% of the sales profits will go directly back to supporting the healthcare programs I was introduced to in central and southern Kenya though the NGO ICROSS (International Community for the Relief of Starvation and Suffering). For more information, please don’t hesitate to contact myself or ICROSS directly.

ICROSS has been operating in East Africa for over 25 years, offering a wide-range of healthcare and sustainability programs to the various tribal and impoverished communities. They uniquely work with the resources, capabilities and capacities of poor marginalized communities seeking to strengthen their capacity to improve their own health and livelihoods through the rights based approaches of participation, inclusion and community empowerment processes. Over my two months of documenting their various and diverse projects, I learned of their hugely valuable [free] healthcare clinics for the Maasai, their home-based HIV/AIDS support, their research and teaching of the solar disinfection of water, and much more.

Each week we will share more reflections from the forthcoming new book the 'Tribe of One' by Michael Meegan and Colin Meagle
A loving person is one who is awakened and transformed into empathy.
Mike Meegan
All God wants of man is a compassionate heart.
Mike Meegan
Do exactly what you would do if you felt most loved and cherished.
Michael Meegan
All life, every living thing is a word for God in His mystery .
Michael Meegan
One one thing is expecte of you, and that is that you should come out
of yourself and love with all your being and all your light without stopping.
Michael Meegan
God is at home and is content, it is we who are looking and are not
at one in ourselves.
Michael Meegan
In order to create and to heal, to do and to serve, ..to act we
need detachment.
Michael Meegan
Even if we were offered everything that exists, it is nothing
compared to the freedom and power of being loved.
Michael Meegan
If you only utter a single prayer in this life let it be Thanks,
with all your heart
Michael Meegan
Man goes far away or near but God never goes far-off; he is always
standing close at hand, and even if he cannot stay within he goes no
further than the door.
Michael Meegan
One person who has mastered life is better than a thousand persons who
have mastered only the contents of books, but no one can get anything
out of life without God.
Meister Eckhart
The best thing you can say is the thing that you have not uttered,
Michael Meegan
The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me.
Meister Eckhart
The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine that they
should see God as if he stood there and they here. This is not so. God
and I, we are one in knowledge.
Meister Eckhart
The more we possess the less we have
Michael Meegan
The more we own the less we have
Mike Meegan
The outward man is the swinging door; the inner man is the still hinge.
Meister Eckhart
The outward efforts will never be insignificant if the inner light is great.
Michael Meegan
The price of doing nothing is far greater than the cost of error.
Michael Meegan
There exists only the present instant... a Now which always and
without end is itself new. There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but
only Now, as it was a thousand years ago and as it will be a thousand
years hence.
Meister Eckhart
To be full of things is to be empty of what matters. To be empty of
things is to be full of freedom.
Michael Meegan
It is in crisis we find ourselves, so when we are broken then this
light is nearest to us.
Michael Meegan
We are celebrating the feast of the Eternal Birth which God the Father
has borne and never ceases to bear in all eternity... But if it takes
not place in me, what avails it? Everything lies in this, that it
should take place in me.
Michael Meegan
What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love.
Meister Eckhart
What we plant in the soil of contemplation, we shall reap in the
harvest of action.
Meister Eckhart
When you are defeated it is your own attitude that is wrong.
Michael Meegan
Words take their meaning from the original word.
Michael Meegan
You may call God truth, you may call God ghope. But the best name for
God is love.
Michael Meegan
