"Once in a while you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!" - The Grateful Dead 'Scarlet Begonias'
Thank you Alex Grey for these INCREDIBLE works of art, they transcend life!
Gotta show respect to some departed loved ones (Only the physical 'shell'; "Energy can neither be created nor destroyed" - Grandpa Hal, Casey, Cousin Evan, Clay Van Wagner, Chris Dinnio, and too many others to name; may you ALL rest in peace...
I meditate on your energy helping me find the perspective to create peace of mind/peace in the world. My most profound respect for ALL my family and friends who've passed on. Sometimes all the galactic energy > spirit is overwhelming and all I hear is static, but I try to transform the noise into music/art
.
I've found satisfaction, and harmony by keeping an open minded perspective, staying positive and the end result is enlightenment to illuminate my path when it's gotten dark
I try to take in negative, harmful energy and 'recycle' it into positive, healing energy
which I think we all need to give and receive from eachother (healing) 3'rd eye visions
Things are not always as they appear at first glance
Looks can be deceiving.. (this art is made w/ sidewalk CHALK;the artist's name is Julian Beever) Every day I strive to improve the world on any scale. Visualie World Peace
We CAN all Coexist; have you ever agreed to disagree?
I believe that we are all more alike than we know, there is a common thread that runs through us all. Our tribe was separated thousands of years ago and has grown a little differently all over the world... "Fighting" for freedom without violence! We CAN stop war!

I love to find and or create Win/Win situations where positive energy is amplified between two or more people. In other words, I find EVEN more joy by helping others to become healthier and happier!
I recently transitioned into a new and much needed career doing what I love the most, helping others feel better and happier; I feel so much more satisfaction in social work! I'm with an organization called Fellowship House where we help people who are suffering from illness, mental illnes, and or problems with addiction to get back on their feet and find harmony/balance in their lives. We feel that "Everyone Has Something to Offer," I often tell people that the philosophy is something like the old proverb: "If you give someone a fish they'll eat for a day, if you teach them how to fish they'll eat for a lifetime." I used to work @ the Collection (an exotic car sales/service dealership) in Coral Gables Florida. I prefer my old school '71 VW van to a Ferrari, nobody ever flashed me peace sign while driving a Ferrari, or a Porsche etc. I learned while working there and had a lot of fun! Fortunately some of my co-workers were and still are truly beautiful souls.
