Breathing earth…

… or heartfelt ways!
When you are relaxed and calm your heart rate slows down.
The effects are similar to when you breathe deeply.

Deep breathing can help slow your heartbeat,
making the heart work more effectively to pump blood around the body.

“Airways”

Plants breath by taking in gases from
the air and give off others through pores in their leaves. It’s a
passive process, since there is no active pushing and pulling of air as
animals do with lungs.

Early Splashes!

September 4, 2008 · 1 Comment

This is a piece I did some time ago, a few decades…
who knows what I was thinking then! "Olives", I still like them today 🙂

The dove and the olive first appeared together in the
biblical story of the Noah and the Ark.
But how did this symbolize
"peace"?

"Peace" must have a deeper meaning that includes profound emotions such as
forgiveness, gratitude, hope and love.
Many years of peace are necessary to grow olive trees,
they take several years to produce their first fruit and can live for 1,500 years.

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
