Earth Mandala at the SpiralMuse Launch 2003

The Earth Mandala's are made of flowers, stone, wood, herbs, sacred objects and other pieces of  the earth. Individuals contribute by providing the earth supplies, creative inspiration, and helping in the actual making of the Mandala.


IMAGINE "Hanub Ku still forming"
The hunab ku, in the center of the Mandala, is a mayan symbol
equivalent to the yin yang symbol of the chinese tradition. The maya believed in this symbol of duality as the source of their beingness and divinity. It is precise mathematically too!

Musings
 
 

Art is not so much expressing oneself, as it is discovering oneself.
- Anawanitia

The only thing better than singing is more singing.
- Ella Fitzgerald

Stop. Breathe. Allow yourself the luxury of doing nothing for a moment, or an hour, or even a day. It is in emptiness that inspiration will appear.
- Carole Katchen

I don't see why we ever think of what others think of what we do – no matter who they are. Isn't it enough just to express yourself?
- Georgia O'Keeffe

Poetry

Fried Sugar Throat

Peel me like a pear
I don't care
wear me anyway you want
as long as I'm soft
drawn open
a fried sugar throat
a resting bone
breath like strawberry
and a sore sore throat
so sore I rub it
I love it

Do whatever you want
I don't care
as long as I'm soft
tasting tangerine
caught like a thief
whispering vines
in between teeth

My hands wander
my eyes wander
my heart wanders
I'm fine as long as you
let me go on about with
this sweetness
a fried sugar throat
going sweeter
with every turn

Peel me like a pear
I don't care
spin me round
see what you create
little jewel box handler
wear me anyway you want
I don't care
as long as I'm soft
sore and sweet.
