Title:From the Sea / Artist: Jessica Tremp / Model: Jo O’Brien THE MERMAID A mermaid found a swimming lad, / Picked him for her own, / Pressed her body to his body, / Laughed; and plunging down / Forgot in cruel happiness / That even lovers drown. William Butler Yeats a few of my favourite things come together…mystery, the sea, earthy colours and textures and an overall sense of whimsicality and melancholy

Oil on canvas 61 X 61 cm. Completed April 2008. For more information or to purchase prints please visit: / www.RainbowPathArtStudio.com “All living beings have the Buddha nature and can become Buddhas” – Buddha Buddha Within illustrates the story of personal awakening. My understanding of the personal awakening process is that when undergoing the final awakening stage, the kundalini (rainbow serpent) becomes an intense fire (red/orange beside the tree trunk) shooting through the spine engulfing the body. The energy (green vortexes) required is enormous. As the kundalini reaches the crown chakra, it fully opens and all earthly limitations drop away. This being is no longer tied to a religion or faith but now embraces them all as represented by the sacred symbols in the tree. The consciousness now resides in the higher self and is one with the universe and all that is. When the transformation is complete sonic waves (the four vertical crystalline waves) travel out into the universe to let all of creation know of the grace that has taken place. All life is naturally drawn to the radiant and divine being that has become pure Buddha consciousness (centre). At each of the chakra points on the Buddha is a Swarovsky crystal in the relevant chakra colour. Crystal magnifies the properties of the chakra energy. / Buddha Within is divided into four quadrants (earth, fire, water, air) and the five elements including precious metals (bottom corners). The red veins dividing the quadrants represent the lower dimension (inner earth). The higher dimension is represented by the white equilateral triangle. If you look closely, you can see the texture of the underlying branches in the tree. These were meticulous painted before adding the covering of leaves. The tree must be complete in the physical, in order to emit the complete energy of the life form. Imbibed in the painting is sand from a sand mandala created by Gyuto Monks. They had spent a week painstakingly building an exquisite sand mandala. Upon its completion the mandala was ceremonially deconstructed and the sand poured into the local river for healing, accompanied by prayer and the blasting of Tibetan ceremonial horns. Some of the sand is held back and distributed to those who attend the ceremony: it holds sacred healing properties. I used some of the sand from this mandala, mixing it in the purple paint used for the crown charka encircling the white triangle and Buddha. Buddha Within is the third in a series and preceded by The Dream and The Awakening.

The Flat Earth Society / “The facts are simple,” says Charles K. Johnson, president of the International Flat Earth Research Society. “The earth is flat.” He believes that the main purpose of the space program is to prop up a dying myth—the myth that the earth is a globe. “Nobody knows anything about the true shape of the world,” he contends. The sun and moon, in the Johnson version, are only about 32 miles in diameter. They circle above the earth in the vicinity of the equator, and their apparent rising and setting are tricks of perspective, like railroad tracks that appear to meet in the distance. The moon shines by its own light and is not eclipsed by the earth. Rather, lunar eclipses are caused by an unseen dark body occasionally passing in front of the moon. Johnson’s beliefs are firmly grounded in the Bible.

This is one of many mine shafts that go deep into the heart of Bell Island and then these shafts run for several miles out and under the Atlantic Ocean. The mine is now closed as most of it has flooded and remains under water. / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / /

Sunset Ho’okipa Beach Maui Hawai’i © 2008 Sharon Anne Mau These are true colours with no postprocessing. The beautiful pastel colours of this exquisite sunset are created by atmospheric conditions of the Vog from the volcanic activity on the Big Island. Haʻaheo ka ua i nā pali ~ Proudly swept the rain by the cliffs / Ke nihi aʻela i ka nahele ~ As it glided through the trees / E hahai (uhai) ana paha i ka liko ~ Still following ever the bud / Pua ʻāhihi lehua o uka ~ The ʻāhihi lehua of the vale / Hui: Chorus: / Aloha ʻoe, aloha ʻoe ~ Farewell to you, farewell to you / E ke onaona noho i ka lipo ~ The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers ~ One fond embrace, One fond embrace ~ / A hoʻi aʻe au ‘Ere ~ I depart until we meet again. Until we meet again / ʻO ka haliʻa aloha i hiki mai ~ Sweet memories come back to me / Ke hone aʻe nei i ~ Bringing fresh remembrances / Kuʻu manawa Of the past ~ ʻO ʻoe nō kaʻu ipo aloha / Dearest one, yes, you are mine own / A loko e hana nei ~ From you, true love shall never depart / Maopopo kuʻu ʻike i ka nani ~ I have seen and watched your loveliness / Nā pua rose o Maunawili ~ The sweet rose of Maunawili / I laila hiaʻia nā manu ~ And ‘tis there the birds of love dwell / Mikiʻala i ka nani o ka lipo ~ And sip the honey from your lips” Her most famous work, a song written by the last reigning Queen of Hawai’i ~ Queen Lili’uokalani (02 September 1838 – 11 November 1917) Queen Lili’uokalani was the last monarch, the last sovereign queen of the Kingdom of Hawai’i. She was originally named Lydia Liliu Loloku Walania Wewehi Kamaka’eha, Lydia Liliuokalani Paki, and also known as Lydia Kamakaʻeha Paki, with the chosen royal name of Liliʻuokalani. Queen Liliʻuokalani was an accomplished author and songwriter. Her book, Hawaiʻi’s Story by Hawaiʻi’s Queen, gave her view of the history of her country and her overthrow and therefore became the first Native Hawaiian female author. Liliʻuokalani was known for her musical talent. Lili’u is said to have played guitar, piano, organ, ‘ukulele and zither. She also sang alto, performing Hawaiian and English sacred and secular music. She would find herself in music. In her memoirs she wrote: “to compose was as natural to me as to breathe. This gift remains a source of the greatest consolation.” She wrote over 165 songs and chants. Some of her best-known musical compositions include the song, “Aloha ʻOe”, “The Queen’s Jubilee”, “He Mele Lahui Hawai’i”, and “Ku’u Pua I Paoakalani” ~ Source: Wikipedia !!

This composite, a matrix panoramic image I created using four of my photographs taken on Makena Beach Maui Hawai’i. © 2008 Sharon Anne Mau Gerald May writes in The Awakened Heart ~ “There is a secret set within each of our hearts. It often goes unnoticed, we rarely can put words to it, and yet it guides us throughout the days of our lives. This secret remains hidden for the most part in our deepest selves. It is the desire for life as it was meant to be. Isn’t there a life you have been searching for all your days? You may not always be aware of your search, and there are times when you seem to have abandoned looking altogether. But again and again it returns to us, this yearning that cries out for the life we prize. It is elusive, to be sure. It seems to come and go at will. Seasons may pass until it surfaces again. And though it seems to taunt us, and may at times cause us great pain, we know when it returns that it is priceless. For if we could recover this desire, unearth it from beneath all other distractions, and embrace it as our deepest treasure, we would discover the secret of our existence. You see, life comes to all of us as a mystery. We all share the same dilemma – we long for life and we’re not sure where to find it. We wonder if we ever do find it, can we make it last? The longing for life within us seems incongruent with the life we find around us. What is available seems at times close to what we want, but never quite a fit. Our days come to us as a riddle, and the answers aren’t handed out with our birth certificates. We must journey to find the life we prize. And the guide we have been given is the desire set deep within, the desire we often overlook or mistake for something else or even choose to ignore. The greatest human tragedy is to give up the search. Nothing is of greater importance than the life of our deep heart. To lose heart is to lose everything. And if we are to bring our hearts along in our life’s journey, we simply must not, we cannot, abandon this desire.”

...Lerwick & Mainland on starboard, Bressay on portside… / We watch ships of all kinds entering the harbour from the “Sooth Mooth” of Bressay Sound… The Island of Bressay shelters Lerwick as a natural barrier… Early autumn light… The Anderson High School stands proudly on a headland, The Knab and although it can feel a peerie bit breezy at times… the view is just… magic!!!

this simple media piece…I don’t think I used but paint and pencil in this one…..was painted as a LOVE of mine….a projection of mine. His reflection…. one of solid presence projecting strength balance care space truth…..holder of HOME. Like I said, he WAS for me to see these qualities in myself. Now I can thank him. It has taken me some time….. From his heart flowers emerge to greet meet so sweet …from his head hand reaches to stars….is he from mars…..since he spoke so often of the wars….of the sexes….mind vexes….or maybe it’s ‘cause I’m from Texas? The distance definitely sweetens this dream…...

The Land Where Souls Play ~ Pa’ia Beach Maui Hawai’i © 2008 Sharon Anne Mau “An awakening to dawn mist on the water, / flowing Spirit’s streams to God’s alter, / purifying essence whistles through the trees, / images of the sacred blowing in the breeze. / Flights of fancy from birds up high, / feathers of many colours filtering through the sky, sun, moon and stars envelops Earth’s dome, / we’re all birds of a feather, finding our way home. Spectacle of mesmerizing movements flashing in the mind, / melting pots of humans, secrets hard to find, love all embracing whispers on the wind, no physical presence, ecstasy from a light dimmed. Gifts of joy enmeshed in music and dance, visualizing images filtering in a trance, warriors in a drumbeat at journeys end, back to the womb of creation enmeshed in a substance blend. Wondrous dreams in the stillness of the dark, journey on uplifting voyages in paradise park, thunder and lightening points the way, a prelude to the land where Soul’s play.” Poetry by Michael Levy
