monsters in mind, ancestral inheritance and grandma's hands

Simply not ever quite good enough... 30"x30"


The nature of Reality.
Every once in a while, when I am not so very entranced with the details of the illusion I see the the blue field where the illusion is manufactured from. There is also the black emptiness of peace that flashes up every once in a while. ..but back to the very interesting monsters.
Here is a big one that sets and starts many of the others.

Yesterday I spent the day... the currency of time, with my Grandma. She is 92. I wandered around her place looking at the dishes, the pots and pans, the knickknacks that she has had for as long as I can remember, quite literally. I get to hold her hand now as we walk. I love that.
I love how she moves her hands.
These had have washed alot of dishes, chopped and diced fruit and vegetables,

Love and Meditation

Longing-Lesson 1 How to Miss the Whole Show 20"x20" Original Acrylic on Canvas Monster in Mind Series... Embrace the monster...


"My whole teaching consists of two words, meditation and love. Meditate so that you can feel immense silence, and love so that your life can become a song, a dance, a celebration. You will have to move between the two, and if you can move easily, if you can move without any effort, you have learned the greatest thing in life."

Mysterious

MOnstEr In Mind

All these ways to this...

"Look for the mysterious in life. Wherever you look – in the white clouds, in the stars in the night, in the flowers, in a flowing river – wherever you look, look for the mystery. And whenever you find that a mystery is there, meditate on it. Meditation means: dissolve yourself before that mystery, annihilate yourself before that mystery, disperse yourself before that mystery. Be no more, and let the mystery be so total that you are absorbed in it. And suddenly a new door opens, a new perception is achieved."

Self actualization is the hottest new trend! I think that is what he said..AND .Art Sacred

'Languid Desire on 300 thread count floral print Egyptian Cotton Sheets' is the succinct title of this piece. 20"x20"original acrylic on canvas

The series is Monsters in Mind -The seduction of thought forms. See how lovely comfortable, seductive she is... just a few moments of wishing for something as if it is separate from myself.. the little swirl of self pity, the soupcon of envy... how very repetitive and comfortably uncomfortable... this feeling...this monster thought in my mind...

This fun little game of consciousness where as the awareness grows we see that we are the creators ....always.

"It is not art in the professionalized sense about which I care, but that which is created sacredly, as a result of a deep inner experience, with all of oneself, and that becomes 'art' in time."
Alfred Stieglitz

is not a part of the monster in mind series... but she is pensive...
"Find ecstasy within yourself. It is not out there. It is in your innermost flowering. The one you are looking for is you. You are the traveler and you are the destination. In experiencing the ecstasy of your own being, you have achieved the final goal."
