/ / nurture / The act of nourishing or nursing; tender care; education; training; That which nourishes; food; diet; The environmental influences that contribute to the development of an individual; see also nature; to nourish or nurse / en.wiktionary.org/wiki/nurture Media – pencil and photoshop / Substrate – paper I can’t explain this, ‘cept to say, it’s inspired by our connection with nature and the fragility of life itself sometimes, the message coming through is to nurture life by way of fostering goodwill toward one another and accepting we have a duty of care to our natural world also. Because Easter is approaching I thought it appropriate :) The child’s sustenance, or umbilical cord if you like is coming from a tree, symbolic of the healing that nature can bring….the new life and growth that comes with nurture both of spirit and of nature. Humility is understanding our rightful place in the scheme of all things, including nature, family structure and the wider community…... a world where there is tolerance for all, is the one i pray for
Divine intelligence are we, who are free / humans progressively learning NOW to be Understanding the light that yearns to see / mirrors of observance, are the wings of ‘we’ Growth from ribbons of acceptance to agree / arise with our tolerance of natures carefree Perceptions ever-changing to explore as trustees / experiencing life as ONE is the masters’ key We will transcend the fear of traumas fantasy / to function together with no “me” guarantees Among ourselves is the power, no external apogee / a team of angels on earth are destiny’s nominees Truths accepted, as we share love peacefully / Our ascension is hope, upon wings of our consents decree. tkrosevear 3/5/2009 This is a digital painting done with Wacom pad/pen in photoshop with the sandstone suface.

everyone has a destination, it’s the way we tolerate each other that dictates in what fashion you get there…

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.

In honor of the efforts of Kathleen and her groups’ Art Blog for Peace, where we blog our hearts out for 2009 in Peace, here is my contribution… “Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It is the product of Faith, Strength, Energy, Will, Sympathy, Justice, Imagination, and the triumph of principle. It will never be achieved by passivity or quietism.” Dorothy Thompson My Peace Blogs: PEACE CANDLES Writing4Peace Alliance for a new Humanity Tribute to Peace MUSIC Happy New Year – 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I saw this prayer, written by an unknown author, at the Carmelite monastery where I do volunteer work, I knew I had to incorporate it into an image and offer its consoling words to those who are suffering from Alzheimer’s as well as to family, friends, and medical personnel who care for those afflicted with this disease. I chose an image of a cloud-filled sky as the sun was setting because those with Alzheimer’s are largely in the sunset of their lives and have to contend with many issues that cloud their lives. Prayer for an Alzheimer’s Sufferer Please grant my visitors tolerance for my confusion, / Forgiveness for my irrationality, / and the strength to walk with me / Into the mist of memory my world has become. Please let them take my hand and stay awhile / Even though I seem unaware of their presence. / Help them to know how their strength and loving care / Will drift slowly into the days to come / Just when I need it most. Let them know when I don’t recognize them / that I will . . . I will. / Keep their hearts free from sorrow for me / For my sorrow when it comes only lasts a moment – / then it’s gone. And finally please let them know / how very much their visits mean, / How, even through this relentless mystery, / I can still feel the love. Amen
Beautiful creature, wings lit by the Sun / Dancing life’s journey as if we were one Joyous soul with gossamer wings opened / Like minds’ receiving visions of hopin’... Endless possibilities await from Spirit above / Our souls shall renew through the magic of LOVE… tkrosevear 12/31/08 On the Wings of Love

She appears gently to explain of our fate / with her winged messenger, peace will activate Pure of heart and intentions alive with hope / she visits those of truth, of a Universal scope In their dreams of compassion to overcome fear / she reminds us our accepting natures to adhere Awaken to her light and the message that she shares / We’ll stand together, to overcome wars’ nightmares… tkrosevear 1/9/2009 This is my version of a J.

In response to blamo’s (Tone) lighting a single red candle at midnight for Peace, this is my contribution… In 1863, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote these words: I heard the bells on Christmas Day / Their old familiar carols play / And mild and sweet the words repeat, / Of peace on earth, good will to men. I thought how as the day had come, / The bellfries of all Christendom / Had roll’d along th’ unbroken song / Of peace on earth, good will to men. And in despair I bow’d my head: / “There is no peace on earth”, I said, / “For hate is strong, and mocks the song / Of peace on earth, good will to men.” Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: / “God is not dead, nor doth he sleep; / The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, / With peace on earth, good will to men.” ‘Til ringing, singing on its way, / The world revolved from night to day, / A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, / Of peace on earth, good will to men! Peace on Earth is a 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer cartoon short subject directed by Hugh Harman, about a post-apocalyptic world populated by animals.

In honor of the anniversary of my ancestors, The Cherokee (Tsalagi) – I wish to share a part of myself with all who have joined The Beginning of a new Trail... The Spirit of the Native Indian group has honored us all on this day and for this I am grateful. The photograph is part of an old quilt with the Cherokee Seven -pointed star which represents the seven clans; I am of the Bird Clan, our color is purple and our wood is Maple; the Owl represents my name “WindOwl”, this particular Owl is a barn owl that I rescued several years ago from being shot, then run over – I learned much from this raptor while we spent 9 months together, before his release. Cherokee Prayer / Oh Great Spirit, / grant that I never find fault with my neighbor / until I have walked the trail of life in his moccasins. DOHIYI to ALL who have joined in this remembrance… Coppertrees / Sophie / jan landers / Romo Amazing heARTworks…
In the spirit of the holiday season, and with the world currently in such an angry state, I can think of no greater gift than peace amongst us all. This was done in Photoshop from a PD NASA image. This is a very high quality transparency ( 300 pixels per inch ) that will look great on any T-shirt color. Wishing peace to all my Redbubble family and visitors.

The Celtic symbol for the Triple Goddess of Maiden, Mother and Crone. The eternal Maiden within, full of promise and hopes to come; the innocent child with the ability to see with clarity and purpose; and, the virgin self. Gaia, the Mother within, giving birth to seeds conceived by the maiden; nourishing growth to nurture ideas and projects. The love of the Mother is always within through pain, joy, tears and laughter deeply in your heart. The wise Crone within, full of the ageless wisdom of nature, barren, yet beautiful whilst holding the keys to the underworld and understanding the mysteries of death. I am change, sacrifice and transformation representing both death and birth in infinite wisdom. All three of these qualities are within every female to call upon when necessary. / Drawn with pen and ink, photographed and edited in photoshop7 with Redfield plug-in fractilius highlights.

From Worldwide International, the progressive drug company who brought you Swearex, comes Enduril… Boy was I glad I had taken my Enduril yesterday. One of our delightful cu*tstomers saw fit to stand there insulting me whilst allowing her charming little dog to savage my hand. / If not for Enduril, I’d be in jail right now. / Lady, you’re the reason they make Enduril. / No, abusing a disgruntled dog-groomer whose trembling hand is clutching a pair of razor-sharp scissors and who has nothing to lose isn’t a good idea. / But thanks to Enduril, no-one got stabbed through the heart. / Now I think it’s time for my next tablet…. ; ) /
We are birds of the same nest. / We may wear different skins, / We may speak different tongues, / We may believe in different religions, / We may belong to different cultures, / Yet we all share the same home - / Our Earth. / From the Athava Veda One World – Celtic Woman /
