Mixed Medium Painting of dreamy blue woman and abstract green circle representing the heart chakra.
There is a moment between life and death, that moment is a spark of light. This moment made me understand that. I was alone in a desert, with ten litres of water and the trust in another person who promised to pick me up. At that moment anything was possible.
Surrender How do I define the / essence of desire? / A rose tattoo that cuts my skin. / A black sun that holds the light. / / The head the gatekeeper / The heart the wild child / The head the protective adult / The heart the dancing adolescent / who longs to be free. / / Temptation so divine / The pull of your heart / Latches onto mine / We dance together and then apart. / / It is a blue rose, pink blossom / in a white night / A red wave crashing to the shore / That washes out the light. / / A liquid smile / Eyes dancing with life / Lips shut tight / Until our smiles break into joie de vivre. / / It is a constant song / It is a rare dance / It envelopes me / like gloves over my fingers. / / It is a layered art / It is a wild and powerful lyric / It is Contained / It takes me places I have never been… / / It is Surrender.

~When I was child…. / I stood on the same dock / breathing in the same air / feeling the same glorious spirit / calling me, guiding me / setting my insides on fire / seeding a passion for the tremendous beauty of this life / bursting from my veins. / And now here she is / and there she goes / her journey begins…….. / Alone with her thoughts / embracing the energy of such sacred ground. / Not sure of what it is stirring within her….. / But knowing / it is powerful. / Not knowing / it will carry her thru her life. / I watch her, watch me. / And I think to myself…. / what does she see? / Is it the beautiful me / or the tormented me? / So full of wisdom / so beyond her years / a soul that is soaring / toward a life / I know all too well. / Oh baby… / some people will never care / but you always will… / For her enormous compassion is not of this world. / She has this connection / with all those around her / as she draws them in / and casts her spell. / My beautiful girl…….mine for just a time. / Those sweet voices are calling her…I remember. / She has found her wings / her journey has begun…….... / It will be beyond all she can imagine……... / I want to tell her to hold on tight, / but I know / this is her dance, her path, her amazing, / amazing / life. / Fly baby girl. / Soar high above it all….
Oh Great Spirit, who made all races, look kindly upon the whole human family and take away the arrogance and hatred which separates us from our brothers…. / -Cherokee Prayer- As most of you know, I just returned from a long bus trip across country (over 2000 miles round trip). This journey was quite an adventure in many ways… I encountered a diverse group of people & situations. I saw eyes full of love….I experienced kindness and consideration…and I heard words of prejudice & separatism. Through it all, I kept thinking of our oneness and sending blessings out to everyone I met. We are all spirit…..no matter what our color, lifestyle, background, or upbringing…..and we all have the choice in each and every moment to see ouselves as separate and in competition or to reach out to our fellow beings with love and compassion and understanding. We truly are Family….. / (this design is inspired by petroglyphs found in New Mexico)
Angel came down from heaven yesterday / She stayed with me just long enough to rescue me Angel – Jimi Hendrix . . . gah.. i just LOVE what i could see the light doing here at the moment they ‘touched’.... these ‘angels’ were walking around the crowds of the Commonwealth Games, Melbourne, not speaking at all – totally silent, just reaching out and touching people and smiling…the response was totally fascinating to observe…i have no idea what it was all about.. but when i saw the grey-haired gentleman sitting alone on the seat and the angels approaching… it was kind of symbolic, prophetic, touching and totally wonderful to witness the connection… so much was said, not a word was spoken… / ♥ Finally….my 2009 Bulldog Calendar! / ♥ More People Pics ♥ / ♥ Other BW Pics ♥

Close up portrait of couple. Photo based illustration.
I was shooting a basket ball game and noticed this cute couple in the bleachers, they were such a contrast to all the teens nearby who were all ‘connecting’ with their cell phones and ipods and looking so isolated from one another. Ironic how lonely we can be in this age of mass connectivity! / I painted this in Photoshop and spent 2 entire nights on it, as I had an idea in my head as to how i wanted it to turn out. I composited a few other ‘bodies’ from another shot and zoomed in and used airbrushes, smudging and some custom brushes. / Hope ya like it. (C) 2008
As I finished this work this morning, I was soon reminded that my path must be sacred and true, as I witnessed 4 Bald Eagles and 2 Golden Eagles sitting along the river treeline, never since we’ve been here have I seen a grouping like this together. My body was tingling from head to toe and I got so caught up in the beauty, I could only take a few photographs (which I’ll share soon). / In Northern America, the Eagle was considered great medicine power. To the Native Americans there were different kinds and divisions of Eagles. The Golden Eagle had a very high rank. The most potent and magical was the Sky Eagle which the Iroquois called Shadahgeyah. Among the Hopi, the Eagle god was called Kwahu and according to their legends, this great bird seldom came below the clouds; only the holiest of Shamans ever saw it. Even the Aztecs said this bird represented celestial power and the rising Sun. / As a Solar Eclipse approaches with the Chinese New Year on 1/26/09, the thought behind this Mandala becomes more clear…”We Are ALL One Tribe” Rainbow Hoop Created with Wacom Graphic pad/pen and enhanced with Redfield plug-in fractilius filter and photoshop7

Many Native American Medicine Society’s, in almost every tribe consisted of a society of women, or bringers of the rain that nurtures the abundance of their food sources. The Three Sisters ~ corn, beans and squash fed many tribal peoples as a regular staple when game, fish and other crops were not plentiful. The WhirlWind Buffalo Sisterhood began just before Miracle, the white buffalo calf was born in Wisconsin, on August 20, 1994. A rainbow culture promising peace among all nations and all people, stressing equality and opposing any superior race that controls or conquers other peoples. The Unity of all colors, all creeds, all beliefs, working together for the good of the whole and when all pathways to wholeness are respected by all cultures, the prophesy of the Whirling Rainbow will be completed. When the time of the White Buffalo, the third generation of White eyes children will grow their hair and speak of love as the healer of the Children of the Earth. These children will seek new ways of understanding themselves and others. They will wear feathers and beads and paint their faces. They will seek the Elders of the Red Race and drink of their wisdom. These white-eyes will be a sign that the ancestors are returning in white bodies, but they are red on the inside. They will learn to walk the Earth Mother in balance again and reform the ideas of the white chiefs. These children will be tested as they were when they were Red ancestors by unnatural substances, like firewater, to see if they can remain on the Sacred Path. After the time when the buffalo returned, the generation following the Flower Children would see the dawning of the Fifth World of Peace. Appearing to those who see, would be a Sun Dog, or full rainbow circle around the Sun that has bright white lights at the Four Directions, a rare natural phenomena. Enough of the Earth Children will be awakened to carry the responsibility of the teachings and the healing process will begin in full swing. Many will remember their “purpose” for being here on Earth and will develop their gifts to assist humanity. Truth will shatter the bonds of separation and goodness will prevail with tolerance, acceptance and understanding. The WhirlWind Buffalo Sisterhood has consistently sought knowledge that changes lies to truths, that have made us mistrust one another and replace the illusion of separation with the truth of UNITY. In non-violence and peaceful energetic, teach that a worthy opponent will present lessons to make us grow beyond any high drama and into a sense of unity within Self, to then share with others remembering that any challenges to unity are equal to our ability to overcome them. The buffalo symbolized not only the strength of the Whirlwind, but also prosperity and abundance ~ the past 15 years, since Miracles’ birth ~ the Tribe of All Nations has been gathering physically, mentally, emotionally, tribally, socially, morally and spiritually all over the world, even more so with cyber-space communications. Can you deeply, completely and profoundly accept yourself and others with all the faults, problems and limitations, as well as the gifts, strengths and ability to love? / ©tkrosevear~WindOwl Mandala sketch photographed, painted, edited and merged with Buffalo photograph in photoshop7 with final editing in redfield plug-in fractilius.

The sixties awakened humanity’s heart / transforming traditional culture’s depart Historical perspectives tire of money as time / With modern progress costing our very last dime Leading edge thought seeks awareness within / silent we trek with respect to purposeful spin Trailblazing paths with effective resolve / to replace standard quality of life to evolve Uncluttering trappings and diversions of old / the dawning of a new reality begins to unfold Being as well as doing does nag us so deep / a virtue of consciousness surely will seep With love and forgiveness alive and well / to counterbalance fear and angers’ dwell Contributing thoughts, dreams and passions / for so many hungry souls universally to ration Our hearts will blossom with action to serve / humanity’s highest spiritual joy, it deserves As Cultural Creatives who cooperate, not compete / destiny’s transformation will soon be complete Awakened we are to our truest potential being / accepting and tolerant is the shift we’ll be seeing. TK Rosevear 7/29/09 This poem was inspired after reading a book today by Owen Waters called “The Shift”. An amazing confirmation of our stepping forward into New Reality consciousness, to experience new vistas of awareness and new levels of creativity. Following our hearts to express our inner joys through making our own meaningful contribution to the betterment of the world. I am grateful and believe that it is truly a great time to be alive!
