ODDITY What is that odd thing? plant? insect? animal? face? of course...abstract art! sometimes we don't know what something is AND we try guessing anyway because "we want to know"...for me, there is endless desire to know things, desperately wanting to understand, on some level seeking knowledge/wisdom...partly due to native curiosity, partly a need for feeling as if i am in control when in fact, for many things in life, i'm not in control! so when faced with mystery, instead of enjoying and savoring, i often jump to a judgmental label as in calling this curiously curvy image "abstract art." practice refraining from labeling things/people/issues we don't understand and attempt to relish the mystery and uncertainty (at least for a short time), then go ahead and label it if it makes you feel better!

PSYCHEDELIC SHAMROCK trinity clover a psychedelic shamrock make your 3 wishes! ordinary things from nature rise in the images of consciousness and can take magical form in colorful art ... this shamrock holds the traditional trinity clover form and it has evolved into a gigantic tree with leaves opening in spiral flowing colors, rendering its psychedelic properties...if you look deeply, you will see its magic and can make 3 wishes! this practice can be as simple as "seeing the shamrock" and making 3 wishes...the wishes will connect you with your heart's desires... a more challenging practice is to see the magic in all of nature, including other people, what if we could see into the psychedelic nature of micro-organisms, plants, animals, people, galaxies, how would our interactions with them change?  

PULSING VEINS from the center star come the petals all around each with pulsing veins the star evolved in the creation of the image which began as a series of crisscrossing lines that shaped the petals...perhaps as we crisscross the days and weeks of our lives, patterns emerge in our habits, relationships, and personality...all coming from an ever brightening center sending divine pulsing energy into our veins. do you feel the pulse of life? where do you feel it most? the least? what can you do connect with your center and stimulate the increase of pulsations that nourish your life?  

INTERWEAVING NEW BEING silver and golden penetrate and interweave in a new being the image below stimulates many thoughts/emotions: sacred geometry, ancient Asian, circling, penetrating, and especially the idea of interweaving ... as we live our lives we leave trails, energetic footprints...consider all the people that you've ever met, all the people that you've ever seen, all the places that you've ever been...some part of you still exists there, the whole universe and everything in it seems to be interwoven in space/time, interconnected, and these connections keep growing as we live our lives, increasing in density and connectivity like a neural network or like underground fungi (see Merlin Sheldrake's great work Entangled Life ) that we don't normally see except when a mushroom pops up...if we have the consciousness to step back and see a bigger picture, then we can see the beauty and wonder of the shapes and connections we are creating as we live our lives...th...
