…a gift for you!

September 15, 2008 · 13 Comments

The spine of this little notebook is like the trunk of a tree.
It will hold and carry the precious gems, seeds and fruits
from your mind, heart and hands!

A book is a gift you can open again and again. Garrison Keillor

Yellow Peace!

August 28, 2008 · 8 Comments

…is the energy that blesses our mind with its “sunny” disposition
and keeps our thoughts positive!

It is the energy that is curious and wants to learn about everything.
Without this energy, life would be boring and feel unchallenged…

Yellow Energy gives us the ability to be open and spontaneous.

Yellow “CE” glasses will help improve focus and concentration. Ideal for driving and sports!
A
picture painted in yellow radiates spiritual warmth; yellow possesses a
spreading movement outwards from the center (eccentric), the surface
seems to approach us.
Wassily Kandinsky

To us all!

August 20, 2008 · 4 Comments

Small flowers, cheerfully standing tall,
always smiling, to us all.

Soft petals, in the sun they shine,
waving to us all, in a friendly line.

Sweet flowers, dressed in vivid color galore,
beaming to us all,
for they will dance together once more.

“I get by with a little help from my friends.” John Lennon

Anybody can sympathize with the sufferings of a friend,
but it requires a very fine nature to sympathize with a friend’s success. Oscar Wilde

$100,000.00 – eight digits!

August 8, 2008 · 2 Comments

Spiritually eight is the goal of the initiate, having gone through the seven stages.
Eight is Infinity – Paradise regained.
Also considered a lucky number in Chinese culture because it sounds like the word “prosper” or “wealth”

10000000dollars

The $100,000 is an odd bill, in that it was not generally issued, and printed only as a gold certificate of Series of 1934. They are printed in orange on the reverse. This series was discontinued in 1940.

Esto es para mi amigo Balbino Suarez en VENEZUELA!

This is actually very beautiful money bill!
I love the “Birds” and our national hero “Simón Bolivar”…

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!
