Ascension and Descension: the fall and the comeback
Dearest readers, I find the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden extremely fascinating. In fact, I believe that this story contains the seeds of the current collective experience of humanity. The fall of humanity and the conscious choice of humanity to experience separation from oneness, God, or unity and to […]
Sighting crows and return of the holy grail in 2018
Dearest readers, Over the last month or so, I have been noticing large numbers of crows in my area. Absorbed in thought and observation as I walk in nature, I hear them call out, their raucous, throaty voices capturing my attention and making a mark on my consciousness. A few weeks ago, I felt compelled […]
2018: Integrating the shadow for the collective
Dearest readers, 2018 is a year where the presence of the shadow in society will be unavoidable. Chaos, violence, crime, people being offended, the eruption of sex scandals, political intrigues, and abuses against people, animals, and the planet will explode exponentially. These eruptions which are already quite visible are increasing so that humanity can integrate […]
Master number 44: humanity in balance
Dearest readers, This post streams from a string of very personal events that occurred over a period of many years, including a dream, a vision, and a sense of knowing following my viewing of two videos. All are connected to the divine feminine incarnation of unity. I’ve come to call her Emmanuela, but today I […]
The body, intuition, and shamanic energy
Dear readers, We are living in the midst of a paradigm shift, and it is an exciting time to be alive. We are experiencing the end of a long (in human terms) period of history dominated by male energy in which we have been taught that all power is outside of ourselves. It seems paradoxical […]
Happiness & health: making choices between reality & illusion
Dear readers, Many people look for recipes and formulas from outside of self in order to pursue that elusive goal our society claims is necessary for happiness. Staying or appearing young, vital, and energetic becomes a goal when these qualities should be the effortless byproducts of leading a life in harmony with self […]
Yin and Yang: the political divide in America
Hello readers, In America, we live in an either/or world. Either you are an individualist (a Republican or Libertarian) or you are a progressive socialist (Democrat). Did it ever occur to anyone that a person who is concerned about social issues may also be an independent, self-responsible person? And how about those Americans who […]
How fear of women has led us to global warming
Hello readers, Do you ever wonder why we take for granted that God is a male and doesn’t have a wife? Do you ever wonder when human beings began to think of themselves as apart from the rest of Nature and possibly superior to Her? Just what process of human history and evolution has led […]
Angry, broken, insecure: the world we inherited from Cain
Dear readers, I am not a religious person, but I believe in the life of spirit. I also believe that together as living beings, we imagine and create the world we live in. It is a collective work of spirit and art. That is why I particularly enjoy folk tales and creation stories. The story […]

Hello readers, If you’ve been following my blog for any length of time, then you will know that my main quest in life, art, and in writing is to observe and respect reality, and to find balance between human life and culture and all of nature. In my search for a simpler life in harmony […]
The Woman Who Wasn’t There?
Hello readers, Last night, a friend was telling me about a Spanish woman (Alicia Esteve Head, also known as Tanya Head), who successfully manipulated the media and headed a 9/11 survivors group. Ms. Head, who was in Spain at the time of the attacks, managed to convince the public that she was in the twin […]
Dreaded Fat into Gold (a fable)
Once upon a slipper chair fashioned of twisted gold sat a hairy, wart-covered hag Her legs twisted columns adorned by ornate spirals and tendrils It was said that she was hideously beautiful. Surrounded by a vault of bronze coated iron, the coffered ceiling encrusted in mosaics of alabaster and onyx She was the oracle for every day […]
Insect Mothering a Newborn Infant: A Sketch in Pencil
Hello readers, I made this drawing and the sketches below today in preparation for the beginning of a series of miniature paintings that I am planning. I usually like to work very large, but working full-time cuts down considerably on my studio time. So I have decided to create small contemporary works with high impact. The […]
Portrait of a Proper Lady with Snake: a drawing
Hello readers, This drawing does not represent someone I know. Rather she came to me from my imagination – a proper “southern” lady wearing white gloves, holding a small apparently inoffensive snake as if it were a purse matching her gloves. The neglect of the feminine is my subject of fascination. The mystery and duality […]
Bringing Meaning, Art and Symbolic Language Back into Architecture & Daily Life
Museum of Contemporary Art, Nice, France Hello readers, Although we are all bombarded in most parts of the world with a constant barrage of images and messages from advertisers and media, the Fine Arts have taken a long leave of absence from our living rooms, abdicating the places of business that we frequent on a daily business. The […]
Promote Peace: Accept Evil and Chaos as Part of Our Nature
Hello readers, I have long been interested in the root of scape-goating, bullying, and evil itself in human behavior. Understanding humanity’s search for meaning and survival in a brutal and unpredictable world is a fascinating, and sometimes discouraging pursuit. For all of the technological progress we have made collectively, we still predictably place blame for […]
Beloved Connection: Scamming for Affection and other Modern Past-times
Hello readers, Each time I visit my blog, I check the statistics page to see how many people from how many countries have visited. It touches my heart and amazes me that, so far, at least one person from 56 different countries from all over our Earth have at least peeked at my blog. I get […]

While the author did change some details with respect to the actual events, timeline, and persons involved in her personal […]
Embracing the Humanity in Others: Mass Shootings and Attacks Against Children in Schools Around the World
Hello readers, As many of you are also probably currently reading about the tragic shooting at the Sandyhook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut today, I began to think about the reason behind the recent outburst in mass shootings in the United States and around the world.
