I'm Open Like a Parachute


Greetings loved ones,

 They say a mind works better when it is open like a parachute. In my journey of self discovery it is evident everyday that human beings are more connected than we would like to think. On my internet sites I have people with different opinions which I value very much. However, it is truly interesting to sit back and observe this game of self gratification. There are those who make it their "responsibility" to harass, convert, and belittle people who go against the grain. Some of us never take into consideration that the "grain" will always be subjective and objective. Depending on your background we may never operate the same in two different cities, towns or countries. On the other hand,  chaos is a natural pattern and we can evolve from everything we are exposed to. Non conformity is the voice for the people who do not have one.

True inner peace is the freedom to let others experience their own reality.  The more limited your reality is, the more limited you want the next person to be. Life is not about winning all the time. We have internalized that everything must be a fight. Nature is relaxation.

Separation is an illusion. Judgement is an illusion. We are all connected. We have been condition since childhood to judge others. We end up living a life of fear and insecurity. We defend our belief systems instead of staying neutral. Discernment is when you do not take things personal. It means having an open mind like a child who doesn't care about your physical appearance, what happened in your past or what you have in the works for the future. 

I decided to show more of my paintings and photography online.

Dia de Los Muertos

D ia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a  colorful festival celebrating the living. In the United States and in Mexico's larger cities, families build altars in their homes, dedicating them to the dead. They surround these altars with flowers, food and pictures of the deceased. They light candles and place them next to the altar. The Aztecs and other Meso -American civilizations kept skulls as trophies and displayed them during the ritual. The skulls were used to symbolize death and rebirth. The Aztecs and other Meso -American civilizations believed that the dead came back to visit during the month long ritual. The natives viewed it as the continuation of life. Instead of fearing death, they embraced it. To them, life was a dream and only in death did they become truly awake. The ritual has evolved to include other cultures like Native Americans and African Americans doing their own dances. This was my third year celebrating this event. Each year Hollywood Forever Cemetery comes ...

Spring Vigilance

Greetings loved ones, This picture reminds me of how connected we are with nature. The tree an extension of myself,  helping me stay balanced and grounded.  I'd like to share what I've been practicing in order to transform into my better self. Perhaps you will find something helpful that will further your inner journey as well.  Practice compassion for those who have separated themselves consciously. Start by forgiving yourself for not being perfect. Love individuals that are difficult to love. Not just particular people, do it without circumstance or demand. Remain vigilant and conscious. Stay present. Be impervious to negativity. Take accountability. Do your inner work. When you know yourself, you trust yourself. The more trust the more self love and self acceptance. Stay connected with nature. I enjoy going to the beach or sitting under a blanket of trees in my garden. Listen to the rhythm of nature. Nature moves with purpose. A vision pulls you forward. Don't...
