a quick little flashback

I wish I had all the answers and than I would wish I never knew them at all.

Flashhback to a time when I found myself in between, a transition period, what better place to find oneself than on an island in the middle of the Pacific. Below is some of the creative explorations I found myself on, the force was strong on Maui it was impossible not to want to respond, looking back I am pretty happy I did what I had to do.

hälts had quite the audience, Hula girl and Hula guy checking out the built in protective diety mural by hälts

  

The visitation of a praying mantis is quite auspicious and taken as a sign of being on track and also to take it slow, not too fast, be like mantis.

  

Lilikoi softening the edges and a reminder that Nature is the ultimate artist.

 

Remember love and compassion make beautiful waves.

tapping into whirlwind power

mawyucan 
‘whirlwind place’- becuase a shaman’s ability to fly was sometimes called ‘whirlwind power’.  

-from David Lewis-Williams, ‘The Mind in the Cave’ p.170 (a must read if you are an artist, or you have a curiosity of human consciousness and its possible origin)

Tapping into Whirlwind power often informs my heart work.

Unless we acknowledge the suppression of our darkside we will fail to realize transformation.
