One of my piece of art. This is a snow carving that I made myself in February 2006. It was at the Yukon Sourdough Rendez-vous. She was about 7 feet high to give you an idea. / / It took me 26 hours of consecutive work (no sleep) with a few breaks along the way to warm my toes up… (it was pretty near -40 degrees Celscius below that night. But I was dressed pretty well.) I called her Into The Light because I finished sculpting her when the sun came and shined on her from above the building that was standing in front of her. It was 12(noon) at the time.. I had started to carve her the day before at 10 am. She has her hands open to the sky, for she is as ready to give herself, as ready to receive from the creator.

This tipi was made 10 years ago. It is still standing today. This is how some Native people of North America use to shelter themselves… I just love the traditional way… I find it beautiful.

this is my ghana; the ghana where women build the nation balancing work, motherhood and responsibility with feminine grace. the ghana where the infinite inner strength of its women reigns with the peace and tranquillity of their confidence of success. the ghana that carries all her burdens and never gives up, but just keeps looking ahead.

This was taken in Koh Samui, in Lamai last year.

On Monday, January 19th, Martin Luther King Day is observed in the U.S.. / His most infamous speech, “I have a Dream” was delivered to 250,000 civil rights supporters on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, at the culmination of the march on Washington for jobs and freedom, in August 1963. The speech is credited with mobilizing supporters of desegregation and prompting the 1964 Civil Rights Act. / Much of “This Dream”, seemingly died with him, when he was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee by a sniper’s bullet while he stood on the balcony, prior to a planned protest to march in sympathy for striking garbage workers in the city. The day before, he delivered a speech recalling a previous attempt on his life – prophetically explaining with serenity, “I’m happy, tonight. I’m not worried about anything. I’m not fearing any man.” On Tuesday, January 20, Barack Obama will be sworn in as the first African American President of the United States. This, to me, represents the return of the “Dream” and the American soul. / America is many things, but it isn’t a nation with a wisdom tradition – it needs to become one and soon…we need to become a wiser nation that is capable of introspective politics with a deeper regard for its philosophical and spiritual roots. It needs to return to a respect for higher principles and considerations of the generations to follow. / We were founded by philosophers and political mystics, men who held high dreams about what the human spirit deserved in terms of right government. America was born to be an experiment in the rights of the spirit as best as could be incarnated by men who could see the potential if successful for the benefit of all humanity. / The inauguration of Barack Obama represents far more than the historic swearing in of America’s first African American President. It represents a shift in the compass of power of America as it enters the global era, leaving behind America’s century of wealth and military domination. The days of international cooperation and diplomacy have begun with crises on every front, we also need to rediscover ourselves economically. Surely Americans are capable of creating ways of responding to the needs of this world rather than becoming dependant and fearful (returning to the days of the Great Depression). / The fact that we are on the verge of a new era already says that the inspiration abounds for those who are ready and able to make bold choices. / In voting in Barack Obama, we voted to return to the sacred contract of America because this man represents the rule of law. He is a professor of Constitutional Law, a man who respects the Bill of Rights and the fundamental principles upon which this nation was built. / WE CHOSE THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA OVER THE ILLUSION OF THE POWER OF AMERICA. / The well being of America is in our hands and it is up to us to reach into ourselves and reach for the soul paths of our lives, our highest potential of hope, ending the war, and the realism about the fact that we will need to sacrifice to make it through the years ahead together, with the spiritual grace of our forefathers. / I have a dream today in 2009…Welcome back America and may we bless and watch over President Barack Obama, his family and each and every conscious American! Photos of MLK, Obama and Flag are from public domain Google images, the eagle head is my own; the words are from MLK’s speech, “I have a Dream.” I still have a dream

Their mother is Bela and he father is Troy. / Taken with Sony Cybershot. The Rottweiler, or Rottweil Metzgerhund (“Butchers Dog”), is a “medium to large size, stalwart dog” breed originating in Germany as a herding dog. It is a hardy and very intelligent breed. Rottweilers also worked as draught dogs, pulling carts to carry meat and other products to market. “Rottweiler breeders aim at a dog of abundant strength, black coated with clearly defined rich tan markings, whose powerful appearance does not lack nobility and which is exceptionally well suited to being a companion, service and working dog.” The Rottweiler was kept busy in these traditional roles until the mid-19th century when railroads replaced droving for getting livestock to market. Although there are still Rottweilers working stock all over the world, many other roles have been found for this versatile breed. During the first and second World Wars, Rottweilers were put into service in various roles including as messenger, draught and guard dogs. Currently they are often used as search and rescue, assistance, guide dogs for the blind, guard and police dogs in addition to their traditional roles. Although an extremely versatile breed used in recent times for many other purposes, the Rottweiler is first and foremost one of the oldest, if not the oldest, of herding breeds. A multi-faceted herding and stock protection dog of exceptional ability, it is capable of working all kinds of livestock under a wide variety of conditions. The breed is an ancient one, whose history stretches back to the Roman Empire. In those times, the legions traveled with their meat on the hoof and required the assistance of working dogs to herd the cattle. One route the army traveled was through Württemberg and on to the small market town of Rottweil. The principal ancestors of the first Rottweilers during this time was supposed to be the Roman droving dog, local dogs the army met on its travels, and dogs with molosser appearance coming from England and The Netherlands. This region eventually became an important cattle area, and the descendants of the Roman cattle dogs proved their worth in both driving and protecting the cattle from robbers and wild animals. However, by the end of the 19th century as railroads became the main method for moving stock to market, the breed had declined so much that in 1900 there was only one female to be found in the town of Rottweil.

Do it Anyway People are often unreasonable, / illogical and self-centered; / Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, / people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives; / Be kind anyway. If you are successful, / you will win some false friends and true enemies; / Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, / people may cheat you; / Be honest anyway. What you spend years building, / someone could destroy overnight; / Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, / they may be jealous; / Be happy anyway. The good you do today, / people will often forget tomorrow; / Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, / and it may never be enough; / Give the world the best you’ve got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, / it is between you and God; / It was never between you and them anyway. Words by Mother Teresa Mother Teresa a wonderful lady that received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and India’s highest civilian honour, the Bharat Ratna, in 1980 for her humanitarian work.

Part of the “Out of Place” series exploring the culture / nature divide – our alienation from nature. I find it perplexing just how easily we humans get mesmerised by work that is often intrinsically meaningless and the virtual world which seems mainly mired in trivia. It’s all the more strange when you consider that the bulk of humanity has only lived in cities for less than 100 years. Prior to that, for countless millennia the natural world was all we knew. / I spend hours in the Park and it’s interesting watching the way other people relate to it. For example, this set of falls is literally 1 minute off the main road through the Park. There are 3 sets of fall each more majestic than the one before. And yet the average amount of time that people spend here I’ve noticed is less than than 10 minutes. 10 minutes!! And then off home to get ready for work or to sit down and watch 4 hours of T.V. / I / just / don’t / get / it. / Still – one advantage – fewer people to bugger up my shots. / Anyway this is part of a series attempting to portray this collective psychosis of our species. Yes she is actually sitting there on top of a 30m waterfall – not photoshopped- very brave I thought, though we did take the wheels off the chair so she didn’t go sailing over.

Amazing Work with YOUR inner child
by linajiI did it with all my anger. I did it because I was too angry to die.
Please read this with an understanding that this is where I was I do not feel abused nor a victim in any way shape or form. I feel however you have to start where you are. I am where I am before you move on past the pain. I recommend for anyone looking for their inner child to do this work The person who helped me so much a couple years ago asked that I do a flow of whatever came to mind of my first meeting with my inner child. This inner child piece was written as is, I made very few changes to it. I did not edit this as I wrote it .. Raw and from my heart to my sweet little Lynne, whom I have grown to love more and more as each day passes on. / xox HERE IS THE SECOND PIECE I WROTE After a few months of discovering her
