Energies of Creation

I was reminded of an unusual experience of my own when I read K-L Masina’s article “How to fake it until you make it.” (Sadly, her blog has been discontinued so I no longer can link to it.) Her particular experience was with her yoga practice and she nailed the concept perfectly.
My own experience was […]

Poppies of the dawn wear soft veils of knowing,
Gently kissed by light arriving from the void.
Translucent petals
Shimmer in trembling air,
Deceptively fragile,
Yet brimming
With indomitable purpose.
The flowers begin to rouse the bees
To worship at their golden altars of life.
The mysteries of pollen
Hold the songs of creation,
Crystalline poppy forms
Bringing petals born of times past
To blossom in moments yet […]

As a simple example, long ago in […]

In an amazing turn of events I am delighted to announce that my latest painting catapulted me into a wholly different mode of conscious non-physical communication. Outwardly appearing to be a poppy painting, this work carries an energy which ignites the same transformation in all who view it.
The current Blogosphere has been […]

Dreams of textures and color beckon to me at night. New forms incubated deep in winter prepare slowly to emerge with the greengold shoots of spring.
The birth of paintings rides the waves of mystery. Something new arises, as yet unseen.
In the quiet dark before dawn, I wait.

Fear of failure stops success right in its tracks. Failure is an illusion of the ego with no basis in reality. This powerfully inhibiting fear is an illusion based on misunderstanding the creative process, the process of life itself.
What we call failure is actually a learning process, a method of gathering […]
