The Fledgling

 This little one was learning to fly as I happened by. At first a bit frightened, the fledgling warmed up to my presence. After watching from a distance for a while, my new friend allowed me to get a closer look.







As the little ones trust in me grew, I realized that 
its faith could prove to be dangerous because,
as we know, not all humans treat life humanely.
As I began to walk away I noticed a truck full of
young men approaching. I heard of of them yell
"run it over." At that point I knew what needed to
by done. As the truck circled around for its final
run, I stepped in front of the bird. When I knew
that the men understood what I was doing, I
ushered the young fledgling to the other side of
the street, looked the men in the eyes and walked
away...

Movement within movement

These drawings were created as part of a visual journal, to help those seers who wish to remember where we come from and who we really are. In the chaos of maya, consciousness is often associated with the body, however, mud is made to move by the breath of life. One is able to understand when the illusion of the space between disappears and separation no longer exists.

Breath Yourself

Santa Monica Beach Water Runoff

A child walks in the shadows with her mother. Together they stroll through the sand. Fearing neither the night nor the darkness, for their bond brings light to life.
