About Me

"The streets were mine, the temple was mine, the people were mine. The skies were mine, and so were the sun and the moon and stars, and all the world was mine, and I the only spectator and enjoyer of it. I knew no churlish proprieties, nor bounds, nor divisions; but all proprieties and divisions were mine; all treasures and the possessors of them. So that with much ado I was corrupted and made to learn the dirty devices of the world, which I now unlearn..." ~Trahern____________________________________________________ __________________________________"There are two kinds of artists: the ones who create their story without awareness, and the ones who recover awareness and create their story with truth and with love."______________________________________________________ _________________________________...and a few words from me...I am here practicing the artistry of spirit. My body is my brush, and my canvas lies beneath my feet, at my fingertips, before my eyes, and entwined in the universe. With it, I reencounter love in whatever color, texture, and method I choose or allow myself to explore. This life is--my abstraction... Yet it embodies the actuality of Myself...the immediate, unmediated, direct experience of Me. I no more discover or invent anything new than YOU do...I can only rearrange what already exists....in an infinite journey...to love.
