Into childhood I go

From suburban sidewalks to beachy shores

I lay my childhood foundation

sometimes a leafy thorn

I walked those sidewalks, barefoot, friendships were born

 the neighborhood, in a circle it goes around

free & feeling each step like a new born

the air was sun, & the sights I did see

nature offering me her decree

each home & lot musically contained

some I thought so warm & some I would refrain

magic & innocence it needed no name

it burns inside, like a candle flame

I saw it in the trees around our house

they would whisper & call

can’t we just play, my favorite game

diamond light shimmering I would claim

long flowing hair, patterns, strawberry pillow sew

I would walk in the sun

in rhythm & movement ethereal undone

nothing to know

Into childhood I go

the streets, the grass, the way she would stand, & how he called to me

I saw it everywhere, each car & car ride, it is so alive & in colors too

If it was not present, I would wonder why, frustrated ~ I must fly

but in a twinkle of time, it bore again, in the next moment

I felt it again

the white dining table and the doors of glass spill out to the backyard

mysterious & divine I breathed it in many a time

it was so thick, I thought surely all saw & felt it too

the family room palette velvety purples pinks & bricks

mix with Jackson Pollock & a French milieu

the naps on the fusion of colors, I looked up & saw the bluest sky

but was inside, inside of me

if the TV bored me, I would look out the window

nature revealed to me, as it does to its young

it spoke a language no one else spoke of

don’t you feel what I feel?

I could not articulate my words

I fell to my knees when I saw a bird

its song of heaven, it knows the way

I would run up & down the carpeted steps, as if flying in a delirious sway

dinner in the air, toaster & oven lights, sounds in the kitchen

a meal of delight

why is everyone so serious, it’s alright to laugh during a meal, oh my these flavors

all so surreal, yet real

major, minor, life savors, & highly favored

I dream & fly an endless kite

it’s going to be a good night

in the morning we would walk to school

head West, books in hand, friends at my side

walking is freedom, too bad the destination was prison

except for first grade, the rest was futile, you must be kidding

none taught an expanded view, like on top of a hill & touching the sky

restrictions, rules, ridiculous sighs

I divorce you now like I did then

certainly some day your manual will end

all will be born again, as the true child sings

merry a melody, neither too fast nor too slow

perfect in the breeze, green light go

Into childhood I go

yes, some candy & cupcakes will do, pretty napkins and plates too

green apple perfume & green apple now & laters to chew

dodge ball in the street, our door, we leave it unlocked

with the rain of showers,  the thunder I felt its power

I walk now again the suburban sidewalks of youth

open to the path, the sun, the light, the fairy takes the tooth

everything so textured & new, Paul Klee’s abstract would take me away for hours

in my mind my imagination would  turn, he must know the dance of the formless form

norms, what norms?

platforms, transform, a stage to perform

new art forms, free form, life forms

all held in uniform

I sled in the snow, took to the gold of Autumn’s glow,

new rising in Spring, in the Summer cool off with a trip to Westwood

the water in the pool drew me closer to Source

the flow, the ease, zero force

above & below the wingspan of the crow

Into my childhood I go

such plenty I notice in each flower

fresh eyes newly cleansed in a sun shower

I walk the suburban streets of my childhood again

everything swirling moving like zen

Would you like to take my hand?

mystical, grand, we stand

all we know, like a child

& Edgar Allen Poe

Into childhood I go

the trumpet sounds

Into childhood I go

Thank you for viewing!!!!

Have a Blessed Day!!! 🙂 !!!

Contemporary Christ

WWJB ~ What Would Jesus Buy @dollarstore 🙂

Yes, as many great minds have wondered in these contemporary times, if Jesus was in physical form now what in the world would our Beloved Jesus buy at the Dollar Store ?????……….so much to choose from & at only a buckaroo. Such deep contemplation on this most sacred of mysteries must be resolved. So off to the Dollar Store we go……….camera in hand, Beloved Jesus accompanying me………we head towards The Dollar Tree around the corner. So much running through my head, what will He buy, what will peeps say, who care’s……….let the $$$ journey begin……………

$$$ Dollar Store $$$

Well, me Oh my, right smack dab as soon as you enter the Dollar Tree, we are most pleasantly confronted near the front of the store with Lord Jesus images on candles. He turns to me & says…” I must be in the right place…………” He further mentioned something about the world being a mirror of your inner state of being. I was doing my best to listen, however, I was lost in a myriad of color, texture, & a plethora of items & was somewhat losing focusing ability.

The World is a mirror……….

Okay, in an effort to be organized, acting like it is a normal thing to be  surrounded by blazing golden light ~ as Lord Jesus has such brilliant light surrounding him & he was emitting it onto me also ~  so keeping my cool like this is just an ordinary day at an ordinary store ~ I seek out a shopping cart to begin our shopping experience. I heard him say something about seek & you shall find.  So, just like that a shopping cart appears. It looked a little more shiny & bright then the other carts, & Lord Jesus looked over at me smiling & nodding approvingly. Let the shopping fun begin……..filler up!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

The shopping Fun begins…………..

First we head down the sundries isle. Lord Jesus likes that clean fresh scent. I watch, observe, wondering with great anticipation what he will select first. Holding my camera ~ armed & ready ~ what will the Master lay his hands on? Well, what do you know. He loves the Men’s 3n1 shampoo/conditioner/body wash in Cool Ocean Wave. He says the 3 in the 1 holds great significance. Awesome I said as I take a snappy. In goes the first Dollar Tree product into the shopping cart. We proceed down the isle. His gate smooth, rhythmic, & captivating. Next item is a Power Stick, some sort of fragrance, with delight Lord Jesus place’s it in the cart.

The pace is picking up now. Lightening speed is in the air. Hoping I can keep up, we move in & through more isles. Whala ~ he  then made a B ~ line  to the Sun night light. With great reverence he holds the sun light. Moving even faster now ~ he then stops & looks in great stillness ~ as if eternity is speaking ~ at a product. I get a closer look. Feeling the quiet reflection ~ I see he is looking at a can of fish. Mackerel to be exact. Lord Jesus says that this is “holy” ~ so in fly several cans.

Getting used to the high vibration vibe now & basking in the golden light ~ kinda even chillaxing ~ enjoying such elation in the Dollar Tree ~ almost dreaming ~ until I realize Lord Jesus is in another isle & I better catch up. He leaves a trail of golden white glittery particles so all I had to do was follow them. Off to various isles I go……..

Isles & Isles

Found him!!! In the electronic section. He looks at me adoringly & mentions he needs some new ear buds for his mobile devices. He likes the yellow ear buds so into the cart goes another product. With a fervent for his tire wheels super shiny, he also gets a tire & wheel product. In the domestics isle, he adds a set of 4 coffee mugs into the cart. I said “You drink coffee?” Lord Jesus somewhat amused & also somewhat serious says to me “Of course!! Never doubt, just have Faith my dear!!” Well, I am glad I am in such good company given my extreme java junkie ways. He flashes me a double huge smile. Lord Jesus selected the coffee mugs that say “Live in the Moment” ~ he says that is all that really exists. I smiled back. Just the thought of coffee was incredibly making me want some ~ I started to imagine things ~ coffee related things ~ I saw magnificent delicious coffee in Master Jesus’s new coffee mugs ~ I was deliriously swirling about in mocha java heaven ~ when ~ Lord Jesus placed his Divine hand on my shoulder and said we would continue our shopping experience. Whoaa ~ brought back down to earth, but still thoughts of a splendid cup of coffee where brewing about in my internal atmosphere.

Lord Jesus found a sign or sticker of some sort that had the words “Friends” on it. I think he mentioned he was going to put this in front of his house so that his peeps would know they are welcome. He told me he his glad we are friends & I concurred. We embraced in a hug & a happy dance in the isle. Good friends are like family he continued with. He also found a 5×7 picture frame that he added to the cart. He said that if he cut his hair, he would look similar to the man in the picture. Moreover, he said that this love image reminded him of his Beloved Mary Magdalene & that he had the perfect image of them together that he would place in the frame. He then spotted some pink roses in the floral section that he added to give to Mary.

WWJB @dollarstore

Pink roses for Mary Magdalene

Sensing that our Dollar Tree shopping extravaganza is complete, we review the items in the cart.

Okay, with a tally of items let’s see what we have:

• 3n1 shower product
• Power Stick
• Sun night light
• 3 cans Mackerel fish
• ear buds
• 4 coffee mugs
• friends sign
• 5×7 picture frame
• a dozen pink roses

= $ 25.00

We are finished with our shopping & getting in line. He presents the cashier with a gold master card. I did not know there was such a thing. He said there is & you can apply for one now & that there are many rewards with it.

As we leave, Lord Jesus points upward. I notice the sign above the entrance & exit doors:

Giving Thanks

He says we will have another shopping escapade sometime in the near future. He did notice some other products to get, but that will be another day.

So, out into the brilliant light Lord Jesus & I go………………………..

While in the gift bag isle, I took a pic of these words on one of the gift bags as I knew this would sum things up…………

Best Day Ever!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Have a Blessed Day!!! 🙂

Brides with Spirit

#gotspirit #brideswithspirit #animaltotem #lion #peacock #foxfam #leopard

I began this series, Brides with Spirit, several years ago. Here are a few samples of some of the art pieces from this series. As a fun & different twist to bridal imagery, I came up with the concept of pairing beautiful bridal photo’s of mine with animal totems where a connection is felt & present between the bride and the preferred animal of choice. Often the image is of the bride solo with the animal spirit, however, some of these art pieces contain both the bride & groom. A fantasy filled, playful, creative conception to visually hallmark one’s wedding & reverence felt for a beloved animal.

Many people feel a direct link in both literal & symbolic terms with a particular animal (s). Animal totems can be perceived as & serve on a platform as a protecting, guiding, healing influence on many levels ~ spanning beyond this lifetime. They bring in “something” of greatness, perhaps an awakening, an epiphany,  true companionship, unconditional love, & so much more!!! These animal totems range from the domesticated, non domesticated, to beyond. It is about what each individual, in this case a bride, is drawn to. There are no rights or wrongs. This deep felt animal association, can last a life time & also can change based on current circumstances as one cycles through life.

Thank you for viewing!!!!

Have a Blessed Day 🙂 🙂

Happy Spring Equinox!!! A Celebration of the Sun!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Communion with the Great Light…………

Life Springs Forth………………the light within

#holylight #sacredlight #christlight

Our life giving source & yet so much more. A case in study through out the world and through out time into the sun’s deeper meaning, significance, symbolism, & role in our collective & individual lives.

Whatever theory or relevance you place on it, I invite you to explore the Great Light. Healing, reviving, all aspects of the Light, the Sun, the Sun behind the Sun, the exquisite eternal energy adorning & wrapping around us & how it can serve as a platform of resurgence in all areas of our lives. :0

All that one needs to do is allow the Grand Light into their awareness, being, & divine presence. Pretty simple. A conscious choice. 🙂

Let us allow the Light into the great depths of our being, healing all aspects, initiating a return to wholeness, balance, perfect health, & alignment with buoyancy & limitless being of spirit.

Become aware of & immerse yourself in the trans ~ formative properties of the Great Light.

In my two original art works included here, I aimed to visually display healing & receiving from the Great Light. In the first art work the subject is in complete allowance & surrender to the Great Light & receives the healing, uplifting, & multi faceted blessings the Grand Light bestows. She is floating as she is surrounded & upheld by the Great Light. The second art work the subject is again in deep rest & relaxation into the allowance of the Great Light to enter in via a human vessel as a conduit of the Great Light. Divine celestial awakenings abound.

Receiving the Great Light takes place in countless ways & most importantly in any way that resonates with you. Truly it is an individual preference in how one may receive the Great Light. It is not received in just one way, but exhibits innumerable gateways, & it is up to each individual to determine how she or he is most suited to receive Great Light. It is a journey & unfolding that continues on, modifying & expanding on the path it takes. A few simple ideas are to take time to go out into the sunlight & consciously receive as deeply as possible into all that you are, meditate, prayer & direct communion via internal & external rapport, connect with the Great Light & allow it to flow through you via art/music/poetry/dance/playing golf/holding a child or pet/cooking a meal/exercising/shopping/observing the light/imaginative play/the list goes on & on & can be applied while immersed in daily routine activities as well as time carved out for sacred growth & renewal. It is up to you to discover & experience. Most assuredly the Great Light awaits your call. You must call it forth. Certainly it is always present ~ however, you must make conscious declaration. Allow, align, receive the Great Light. Open to it & it opens to you. You don’t need a book or a manual, you just need you & to listen to & follow your inner divine barometer of truth & how receiving best suits you.

Let us be in holy celebration, receiving, & honoring of the Great Light.

Happy Spring Equinox!!!

Blessings of the Great Light!!

ζAsk a Dreamerζ

Encouraging all to offer up moments to dream…to be…to explore yourself within…to hear anew…to see anew…to be born anew…

#allowtimetodream #dreamwithinsowithout #dream

Ask a dreamer

what you want to know

for when you do not believe it

she will tell you it is so

Ask a dreamer

she will fly high & soar

she won’t come down

you will never be bored

when four did fly

way up high

one to each direction

over the terrain no deny

Ask a Dreamer

If you don’t know

she will show you

the way to go

Ask a Dreamer

when the flowers in the garden are but a few

to connect back to when you were a child

your awareness now open & new

 your rules & beliefs you hold no more

Ask a Dreamer

a victory will score

If the dreamer goes so far inside

don’t reel her out

she is your guide

Ask a dreamer

when you want the fog to lift

amazing powerful mind body shift

the angels will sing

melody will ring

you will riddle with laughter

for what all souls are after

Ask a dreamer

to push back the veil

beautiful formless female

she will tell the tale

fresh from the river

life giving force

divine magic is the source

Ask a dreamer

when you are in doubt

“On heaven’s wings” you will shout

no place or space

escapes the dreamers sight

she can even see through & into the night

what is known & what seems hidden

born again & again

never tiring nor ceaseless

birthing your genius

almighty sacred knowledge

unraveling with delight

the dreamer pays homage

all unite

Ask a Dreamer

to light the way

shivers & rivers of magnetic waves

it was always in front of you

only a fraction you did see

Ask a dreamer

& certainty will be

Ask a Dreamer

& you shall claim your stake

a reaper of rewards

she is your supporter

make no mistake

Ask a Dreamer

when your truth you must find

she is the reveler

& reveals the mystery of nine

forever the dreamer amidst us 

in eternity & time

Thank you for viewing!!! 🙂

Have a Blessed day!!!

When it runs through your veins………

Rock n’ Roll if u wanna

#rocknrollharmony #rocknsoul #anythinggoes

 ≈This is for those of us that grew up listening to classic rock & those that enjoy it≈

You know AC/DC ~ Led Zeppelin ~ Queen ~ Boston ~ Heart ~ Blondie ~ Scorpions ~ Aerosmith ~ Fleetwood Mac ~ Rolling Stones ~ Hendrix ~  Triumph ~  Lynyrd Skynyrd ~ Motley Crue ~ Def Leopard ~ Allman Brothers ~ & so many more

⌈When loud just isn’t loud enough⌉

When that rock n’ roll wave hits ~ all you can do is crank it up & enjoy the ride ~ catapulted into some unknown world that’s crashing all around you

That whirlwind of crazzzaaayyy sounds ~ get out of my way guitar & drums shaking up the ether’s way above the clouds ~ so freeing & liberating you gotta hear that fav song twice

Θprima donna ~ u wanna ~ rebel rule breaker ~ well, someone’s gottaΘ

I personally love a lot of music from the 1970’s ~ however, the 1980’s metal bands that took to flight ~ with Oh so divine make up ~ wild mega wanna hair ~ raw & sweet ~ that decadent holy storm of rushing sexy heat 🙂

Unlock the doors….sit on back…..

*These art images are of Steve ~ my bf. He has been playing in bands for pretty much his entire life. Mostly rock bands & one funk band in the 1970’s. His main instrument is electric guitar 🙂 He still gets together with some of his prior band mates once a year to put on a rock n’ roll show 🙂

I like to associate primordial energy with the raging wild tide that rock n roll music can take you on. Certainly ~ in various expressions ~ but you know when that “energy” is So Present where you are transformed in that instant with particles flying in the air ~ primordial power taking you over ~ no beginning no end ~ some omnipotent force sweeping you up in its lightning guitar riff wings

Music & all the arts are typically thought of & presided over the Divine Feminine Energy ~ Creative Goddess energy that creates in a myriad of fashions.

Shakti is the Divine Feminine ~ the sacred creative power ~ primordial cosmic energy ~ dynamic forces that move, shape, & create

Her radiance & fullness can be felt, experienced, & seen in the entirety of the universe & beyond

Her Beautiful cosmic existence & spell ~ unleashes multi fold

🙂 One of those liberating “kundalini” experiences might just be found in a rock n roll song 🙂

The Shakti Goddess divine cosmic energy is to be revered ~ her power, might, & blessedness is beyond

When it runs through your veins………

#primordialdance #shakti #primalspiral

ΞMusic as primordial rhythm, movement, & flowΞ

The music within & without ~ as primal energy 🙂

#primaltribal

when it runs through your veins

in keys, like the breeze, strip tease

a primal force of sorts

source, immerse, in force

it’s the air you breath & the language of choice

active voice, singing voice, Rolls Royce

the wine of the soul & the music within

built in, drilled in, instilled in

when it runs through your veins

you can’t but help want more

do you replenish sweet song or merely align with what’s stored

 tangible & real

it is a miracle heal

triple loud or low soft

high & low tide

can’t describe, amplified, slide

wide ~ untied

when it runs through your veins

it moves with the wind

changing colors & hue

into you, through you, in view, undue

shaking it loose

where strangers are few

it echoes your name

sounds untamed

round & round

ultrasound, drowned, rewound

non linear crowned

sweat on the brow ~ sacred ground

the primordial dance

each soul must take the chance

when it runs through your veins

a song for me & a song for you

no worries of rhyme

it sings for all time

It takes over

spinning & wheeling

whirling about

with visions of destiny in flight

when it runs through your veins

oh so right, en-light, make it tonight

 endless height

the water the moon the sun & the earth

cracking shattering on fire

higher, rewire, inspire, rock n roll attire

it gives a resonance birth

when it runs through your veins

feeling it strong

sing a long, prolong, nothing right or wrong

then it fades & comes back

thunderbolts & lightning

a contagious free running horse

on course, off course, transport

when it runs through your veins

it stretches to eternity

& then back in the room

when it runs through your veins

your removed from form

when it runs through your veins

the flow is surreal

nature & heaven merged by feel

when it runs through your veins

you look left & right

growing with intensity

all the day & night

when it runs through your veins

you feed the flame

ages & sages but did the same

when it runs through your veins

Blessings of Rock n’ Roll Soul 🙂

Thank you for viewing!!! 🙂

Have a blessed day!!!! 🙂 🙂

Susan & her beloved dog Kona take to the beach!!!! #sun #beach #wuff #wag

The morning sun doth quenched my thirst

over the grand ocean if not by birth

only us around

celebration of love

human to animal

the years & moments all in ONE

faithful & true I speak with you

through ocean depths & warm glowing sand

a walk, a kiss, an embrace with the waves so close at hand

we know each other, how could we not

our spaces shared ~ our hearts ever entwined
