Create a Beautiful 2009

"They say that an oak tree is brought into creation by two forces at the same time."

-- eat, pray, love by Elizabeth Gilbert (see below for the entire paragraph/thought)

Life is happening very quickly for many of us these days. It is even more important to focus on what your life is handing to you. Is it peaceful and beautiful and everything that you desire it to be? If not, take time to breathe and re-focus your energies on your heart's desire. Use the tools you know about and learn some new ones.

The main point to remember is stay present in the now moment. Difficult practice for many of us. Two books have been helping me right now: A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle and eat, pray, love by Elizabeth Gilbert. A 2-disc DVD set has also been helpful, The Flowering of Consciousness by Eckhart Tolle.

I'm hoping to put on a Visioning Your Beautiful Life workshop here in New Mexico in the next few months. Stay tuned ...

Oak Tree Thought:
"...the Zen Buddhist believe ... They say that an oak tree is brought into creation by two forces at the same time. Obviously, there is the acorn from which it all begins, the seed which holds all the promise and potential, which grows into the tree. Everybody can see that. But only a few can recognize that there is another force operating here as well--the future tree itself, which wants so badly to exist that it pulls the acorn into being, drawing the seedling forth with longing out of the void, guiding the evolution from nothingness to maturity. In this respect, say the Zens, it is the oak tree that creates the very acorn from which it was born." -- eat, pray, love by Elizabeth Gilbert

Is this a lovely idea or what?

Greetings,

"When another recognizes you, that recognition draws the dimension of Being more fully into this world through both of you. That is the love that redeems the world."
-- A New Earth, Eckhart Tolle

2009 is well under way. Are we keeping up with everything that is on our plates? Working it .... hope you are too!

Let me know what's going on in your place of the world.

Peace, blessings, fun,

"It is the artist's uphill journey to behold creation with the senses of the Creator and carry divine light into his or her work. If our art is to be a lamp of spirit, it is our task to create sounds, words, and visions that transmit penetrating rays to the hearts of receptive people."
--The Mission of Art, Alex Grey

New Direction for My Art
I'm experiencing a new direction for my art. While painting the Numbers series, I had several dreams of geometric shapes as sources of light. I don't think I have been able to completely achieve this in my first two geometric paintings of the triangle (shown in the postcard above) and the square.

Also, while reading "A New Earth", several visions of painting "light" and "consciousness" came to me. I think both of these will take me a long time to achieve.

It is my goal in painting to create beauty and light. There is a great service to the world in all paintings, whether they be dark or light or somewhere in-between. I'm ready to navigate the Light.
