Calm of the Wild: Detail

There are times when something deep inside of us begins to stir and we experience a yearning that seems to want to pull us away from the familiar. This is a powerful form of intuition at work. And with it comes a knowing that it is only “change” that can bring us the solace we seek as we try to alleviate some of the angst that has become too close a companion. It takes courage to answer these kinds of “calls to action.” They appear to challenge and threaten our sense of safety, seemingly asking “too much” of us. Maybe even demanding the “impossible!” But at some point, we begin to understand that this inner voice has come like a loving Guide – a “compass” pointing us in the direction we are now meant to travel.

So very often on these kinds of journeys, we inexplicably find ourselves seeking out wild spaces, as it is these kinds of places that have the ability to soothe us and ground us – and help us to lay down some of the heaviness we have been carrying. And when we find the courage to be fully present there, to really trust and surrender to the energies that abound, we find that the rhythm of these places – the rise and fall of waves; the swaying of trees in the wind; the dimming of the day giving way to the night; and the boldness of the sun rising in the morning – puts us, as if through some kind of magic, in direct accord with our own natural rhythm. And on some level we understand that we, too, are a part of this great dance of the Uni-verse. And here, in this sacred place, in the “calm of the wild,” we receive the gifts of abundance and peace as our own sense of separateness begins to melt away like the disappearing mist over the water in the morning light.

Odyssey of Mystery & Wonder

Acrylic on Gallery Wood Panel

Odyssey of Mystery & Wonder: Detail

At some point it seems, we realize that our life’s journey is what facilitates the “deconstruction” of the mental constructs that we have long held about ourselves – it creates a shift in our perception in terms of who we believed ourselves to be so that we might discover the truth about who we truly are. This constitutes a “movement” away from identification with form (the roles we play, the work that we do, our attachments, our likes and dislikes…) to the formless aspect of our being. We discover something deeper and more intimate about our own nature and begin to see that we cannot ultimately be defined by that which is ever-changing. But rather, we are that which is immutable, even amidst the seemingly chaotic world. And the deeper we delve into this discovery, the more connected we feel to ourselves, to those around us, to humanity as a whole, and ultimately to the movement of life itself.

Nature also helps to put us in accord with this deeper, fundamental aspect of ourselves. We begin to see that the boundaries that we once felt defined us begin to abate. And we find ourselves experiencing a true sense of oneness with the natural world -- with the trees, the rocks, the water and sky – and all the creatures that dwell there. All the while sensing that we are connected to all of it. To everything in the manifested world -- the animate and the inanimate. Ah, the mystery and wonder of it all!

On A Night Like This: Detail

Rousing the senses and stirring our imagination, how effortlessly the night sky fills us with a sense of wonder and awe. While fostering a profound sense of presence, it puts us in accord with the very essence of who we are…connecting us to the eternal, immutable aspect of our true nature; our pure essence as love and light.

Here, we understand that we are not separate from, but rather an indispensable and indivisible part of, the One Great Mystery. Such is the Grace that the night sky bestows upon us. And oh, how blessed are we to be alive On A Night Like This…!

Deep Inside the Mystery

Acyrlic on Gallery Wood Panel

Deep Inside the Mystery: Detail

Visual art, like music, is a unique form of communication in that it provides a ‘vocabulary’ if you will, to articulate the musings of the soul. This work ‘speaks’ to the truth that everything in the manifested world is truly the One Great Mystery revealing itself in form. And how imperative it is to seek out our own ‘sacred spaces’ in an effort to discover the truth of who and what we are. Those places that support and foster the exploration of the more subtle realms of our spiritual nature so we may recognize our ultimate nature as limitless love.

Acrylic on Canvas

This painting is symbolic of the infinite ways that nature functions as source of illumination on the path to enlightenment. When we immerse ourselves in nature and allow mind to fall silent, we recognize that there is absolutely no separation between a single aspect of the natural world and ourselves. Imagine how the world would change if we all recognized this truth! Ilumina!

Place of the Dancing Water: Detail

Click on thumbnails to enlarge.

This painting was inspired by my time spent on the beautiful, rugged Slate Islands on Lake Superior this past August. There are a couple of places where the movement of the water from the big lake meets with the slower moving water in the inner channels and creates a unique 'disturbance' on the surface of the water. This meeting of the waters produces an effect that looks like the water is 'dancing' -- even 'hopping' at times. It was especially apparent when the winds were calm and there was no larger wave action. I am delighted with how this piece came together...it communicates an experience that I could not adequately express with words.

Passionate Resistance ~ Wolf Lake

26" x 14.5" Framed
Acrylic on Gallery Wood Panel

Passionate Resistance

Earth will, by Her very nature, strive for balance by changing and adapting to whatever conditions arise from the impact of human ignorance and arrogance. We do not have the power to destroy Her but we do have the power to render her unable -- even unwilling -- to sustain countless more species, ourselves included. The further we have ventured away from own True Nature, the more menacing we have become toward the natural environment. The streams, rivers, lakes and oceans all flow like the blood coursing through our own veins, connecting and supplying the whole.

The vibrant colours and 'movement' in this piece represent Mother Earth’s aliveness and her passionate resistance to the devastating impact of our unconscionable acts. How long will She choose to endure our negligence? It is time to heed the prophetic words of Chief Seattle who warned, if we '…contaminate our own bed we will, one night, suffocate in our own waste.'

This piece was part of a larger project to protect the Wolf Lake region northwest of Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Please join together as 'pARTners for Wolf Lake' in an ongoing commitment to protect the Wolf Lake Old Growth Forest Reserve and demand that our inherent rights-based, justice-based action to protect Wolf Lake be heeded by prohibiting further exploitation through mining within this magnificent region. It is our responsibility today to protect Wolf Lake and the whole Chiniguchi Waterway for the generations of tomorrow.
