The quality and longevity of humanity depends on how we think, our attitude toward one another as well as how we treat everyone on the globe. How healthy of mind, body and spirit are we? The quality of the human condition improves as it evolves into a more thoughtful, kinder, respectful people who grow in the direction of what is right and true. Holy Spirits emit light offering grace-filled respite in a chaotic world, the light translates, transforms into change and transition. This phenomenon is available for the taking and brought to us by the creators of love and peace. The choice to design and build a just world, fair and free- is our own. The future is promising if we say so, if we cultivate goodness, positive change, a humble appreciation and awareness of this sacred and blessed planet. Amen ~

Planetary Prayer
When one takes a moment to consider the delicate balance between the earth in relation to our solar system and the vastness of the universe as we understand it,.. it is staggering to imagine the stories of life taking place on the surface, underwater, underground and surrounding the earth, the direction it rotates on it's tilted axis, the constant atmospheric and climate changes taking place... A moment to reflect on the miraculous nature of it all, the fragile nature of human kinds presence on this planet and in the universe. What is possible for earth can take place at any second on any given day or night. When all is said and done the world and it's precious inhabitants are at the mercy of the heavenly, mighty and mysterious cosmos, our vulnerability, a constant reminder of our precarious place in the heavens.

Desert Heart Transplant ~
The Move to New Mexico
Toward the end of the 20’s, O’Keeffe began to tire of New York and took a trip to New Mexico. She fell in love with the terrain and returned there every year until she moved there permanently in 1946. It was a new beginning for Georgia O’Keeffe, whose inspiration abounded once again as she took to painting the mountainous landscape and sun-bleached animal skulls that littered the desert floor. She insists that the bones depicted in her work were not indicative of death, but rather of the ever-lasting beauty of the desert itself. She reveled in the striking vegetation and vibrant colors. Once again her paintings took on a magnified quality, possibly a significant message that nature is larger than humanity, and that its splendid beauty dwarfs us. Despite artists using nature as a subject, nature will always be too much for an artist to contain.
