Old chap in Udaipur. His glasses were an instant hit! Obviously very dear to him too, he had taped them together at several places to hold the pieces together!

What do you get when you put my bullet belt, my shecter, me in cheetah stilettos and fishnet and a 10 second timer? you get this motha licker / (haha, old gregg reference) like the common “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll” motto, i’ve put my interpritation on it. sex (the fishnets and stilettos) drugs (bullet belt) rock n’ roll (guitar) / now for the whole drugs thing, its a common thing among rock stars to be druggies or alcoholics, and the music scene i’m most into is the punk/ska scene, with one of the trademarks being the bullet belt (and my zebra guitar strap fits in nicely with it)

This is a composite of two of my photographs taken on the beautiful and luxurious Black Sands of Hamoa Beach / Hana Maui Hawai’i Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved “I the human wander lone in wonder amid this grand universe of unbounded space and time You the great keeper of universe / Exist in its infinite wonders / Lone in silence / In the grand home of your own being!

On the surface of the world right now there is / war and violence and things seem dark. / But calmly and quietly, at the same time, / something else is happening underground / An inner revolution is taking place / and certain individuals are being called to a higher light. / It is a silent revolution. / From the inside out. From the ground up. / This is a Global operation. / A Spiritual Conspiracy. / There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet. / You wont see us on the T.V. / You wont read about us in the newspaper / You wont hear about us on the radio / We don’t seek any glory / We don’t wear any uniform / We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles / Most of us work anonymously / We are quietly working behind the scenes / in every country and culture of the world / Cities big and small, mountains and valleys, / in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands / You could pass by one of us on the street and not even notice / We go undercover / We remain behind the scenes / It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit / But simply that the work gets done / Occasionally we spot each other in the street / We give a quiet nod and continue on our way / During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs / But behind the false storefront at night / is where the real work takes a place / Some call us the Conscious Army / We are slowly creating a new world / with the power of our minds and hearts / We follow, with passion and joy / Our orders come from from the Central Spiritual Intelligence / We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking / Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~ / Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites ~ Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness… / We each express ourselves in our own unique ways / with our own unique gifts and talents / Be the change you choose to see in the world / That is the motto that fills our hearts / We know it is the only way real transformation takes place / We know that quietly and humbly we have the / power of all the oceans combined / Our work is slow and meticulous / Like the formation of mountains / It is not even visible at first glance / And yet with it entire tectonic plates / shall be moved in the centuries to come / Love is the new religion of the 21st century / You don’t have to be a highly educated person / Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it / It comes from the intelligence of the heart / Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings / Be the change you choose to see in the world / Nobody else can do it for you / We are now recruiting / Perhaps you will join us / Or already have. / All are welcome / The door is open. / / —-author unknown A dear friend, Carolion Grailbear, sent this to me yesterday via a forwarded email – could not resist it being a part of my Earth Day celebration, and yours… Let’s work together stock earth photo edited in photoshop7 with Redfield plug-in fractilius filter, text and contrast
A collaboration with my dear friend Erika: / Claire de Lune In a dream / a starlit adventure with no compass / and strange encounters and perils / of every kind- / and unknown world opens up / like a music box in an ancient attic- / a story unfolds / and tells of uncharted lands / and undiscovered maps etched in my being The piano plays / and I begin to dream- / my wings pull me upward / but my roots plant my feet on the ground / ripped in half / gravity pulls me down / earthbound by reality / whenever the world fails to listen to my tune… / so I join the stars and my dreams / as they call out to me / upon the clear light of the moon Inspired by Debussy’s Clair de Lune.

This one has been sitting unfinished on my PC for a few weeks, I was just not sure what I wanted to do with it until last night when I was reminded of the beautiful song “Autumn Leaves”, originally by Edith Piaf (in French, naturally), but beautiful also in its English translation as below. This was one of my favourite songs to sing when I was a teenager and I have wonderful memories of singing this to the beautiful piano accompaniment played by my cousin Anina. :) This is a mixed media piece in which I digitally combined a roller ball drawing I did for the purpose, with a chalk pastel drawing and photographic textures and brushes. Proudly New Zealand-made. :) Featured in Imaginative Realism, Sept 26, 2009. / Featured in Dimensions Oct 11, 2009. / Featured in Inspired Art Oct 18, 2009. Autumn Leaves Artist: Eva Cassidy / English Lyrics by Johnny Mercer and Music by Joseph Kosma The falling leaves drift by my window / The falling leaves of red and gold / I see your lips, the summer kisses / The sunburned hands I used to hold Since you went away the days grow long / And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song / But I miss you most of all, my darling / When autumn leaves start to fall Since you went away the days grow long / And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song / But I miss you most of all, my darling / When autumn leaves start to fall I miss you most of all, my darling / When autumn leaves start to fall
