...on the table and on the wall...it's all about small

Little Fairies for St. Patrick's Day

On the table...

And on the wall...

I've been in the studio for days now creating Small Wonders for the Timberline show that opens on March 2nd. Some of these will also be going to Art By Hand in the Tower District of Fresno. Every one wants small.
It's an economic thing I think...
.

The Timberline show will offer up 100 small pieces of art for $100 and under. Should be a very cool show, it will open March 2.
The Art Hop reception will be on March 13th...11 to 4pm.


Art By Hand is a relatively new gallery in the Tower...It's definitely worth adding to your art hop tour.
They hold their receptions on the first Thursday of the month 5 - 8 pm

.....David's Mother Moon, Rumi's Words

Love Said to Me

I worship the moon.

Tell me of the soft glow of a
candle light
and the sweetness of my moon.

Don't talk about sorrow,
tell me of that treasure,
hidden if it is to you,
then just remain silent.

Last night
I lost my grip on reality
and welcomed insanity.
Love
saw me and said,
I showed up.
Wipe you tears
and be silent.

I said, O Love
I am frightened,
but it's not you.

Love said to me,
there is nothing that is not me.
be silent.

I will whisper secrets in your ear
just nod yes
and be silent.

A soul moon
appeared in the path of my heart.
How precious is this journey.

I said, O Love
what kind of moon is this?
Love said to me,
this is not for you to question.
be silent.

I said, O Love
what kind of face is this,
angelic, or human?
Love said to me,
this is beyond anything that you know.
Be silent.

I said, please reveal this to me
I am dying in anticipation.
Love said to me,
that is where I want you:
Always on the edge,
be silent.
You dwell in this hall of
images and illusions,
leave this house now
and be silent.

I said, O Love,
tell me this:
Does the Lord know you are
treating me this way?
Love said to me,
yes He does,
just be totally…
totally… silent

~ Rumi ~

......Osho Zen and me

Last week I decided to pull an Osho Zen card with the question in mind regarding how to get from where I am, to where I want to be and to help clarify just where it is I want to be…
I believe you have to have a clear direction/vision.
So I got centered and asked the question…

I pulled the Rebel card…

rebel:
1. protester: somebody who protests against something by defying authority
2. soldier who opposes government in power:
3. unconventional person: somebody who refuses to conform to the codes and conventions of society

I understand the rebel….
I’ve even been called one in an accusatory fashion….
But what does it tell me about my quest?
Could it mean to continue questioning, not simply to continue the path I’m on, to seek out less conventional avenues? To stop holding my heart's desire right below the surface...to seek the path less traveled?

I decided to take a look at what book had to say…
and it is beautiful.
The Rebel is the master of his own destiny…
we know that…
It’s living your truth….
a Mystic Rebel doesn’t rebel for the sake of rebelling but to be true to themselves.

“the torch he holds in his right hand symbolizes the light of her own hard-won truth.

Whether she is wealthy or poor,
the Rebel is really and emperor/empress because she has broken the chains of society’s repressive condition and opinions.
She has formed herself by embracing all the colors of the rainbow, emerging from the dark and formless roots of her unconscious past and growing wings to fly into the sky.

Her very way of being is rebellious ~ not because she is fighting against anybody or anything, but because she has discovered her own true nature and is determined to live in accordance with it.”

And

“the Rebel challenges us to be courageous enough to take responsibility for who we are and to live our truth.”


Is that a message or what?
It is clearly telling me to move forward with my true desire.
And I do know what that is…
but I can barely say it out loud.

....just a bit ago I drew this card...
