This photo was taken at the funeral of the first police officer killed while on duty in my city, Windsor, Ontario, in over 125 years. It was also the largest funeral in at least fifty years, if not longer. The officer’s children’s classes came, and as high school students we were paired up with them to watch them for the day. This was my student… I think he was ten at the time…

When he had brought his lecture to an end, / the lofty scholar looked into my face, / searching to see if I seemed satisfied; And I, already thirsting for more drink, / kept silent, wondering: “Could he, perhaps, / be tired of all this questioning of mine?” / / But that true father, sensing my desire, / which was too timid to express itself, / spoke first, and thus encouraged me to speak. / / I said: “Master, the light you shed has made / my sight so keen that now I clearly see / all that your words mean or what they imply. So I beseech you, father, kind and dear, / define love for me, please, which is, you say / the source of every virtue, every vice.” “Now focus your mind’s eye on what I say,” / he said, “and you will clearly understand / the error of the blind who lead the blind. / / The Soul at birth, created quick to love, / will move toward anything that pleases it, / as soon as pleasure causes it to move. / / Words by Dante Best viewed in large format Acrylics, ink, graphite, pigment and gold leaf on paper

The psyche does not come to an end where some physiological assumption or other stops. In other words, in each individual case that we observe scientifically, we have to consider the manifestations of the psyche in their totality. Carl Jung, Collected Works, v9, para 113 Thinking of Jennifer B Wax, graphite and watercolour

Lilith still reigns as a symbol of independent, life-loving, justice-seeking women who have been depicted in art, history and literature as sexual predators, demons, evil spirits and harlots. She may have been considered both warrior and seductress; I view neither of these as negatives. If she is shown as one who tricked men, I believe it was to teach them lessons; if she was blamed for inciting their lust, so have all women taken the blame for male desire in a world where sexuality is held sinful. / If we are to believe she kills mortals, can we not view her as we do the male god, as one who ‘giveth and taketh away’, who ends human life as He, divine ruler, deems necessary, or simply to maintain the balance of the Universe? Why do the qualities we admire in a male god make so little sense to us when embodied by a female deity that we demonize her? Why are they so threatening? Written by Deborah Grenn-Scott, M.A., Women’s Spirituality, is founder and director of The Lilith Institute.

This painting with My Spirit Guides wishes to convey understanding. There are many aspects of your life that you have not acknowledged, especially the past. There may be feelings, memories that seem to come into your mind and you do not understand the message. Spirit is all around you, waiting, asking to communicate with you, I confirm this to you. There are so many Spirits within this painting. I know however that they will reveal themselves more clearly in time. You must be patient and work towards a better understanding of yourself. There is something you have not acknowledged, due to guilt, worry or apprehension. Your sense of privacy keeps you from making contact with certain people. This is a time to surround yourself with like minded people so you can feel more relaxed and anxious free. You must now cut the bond that binds you and experience the release that you have longed for. It will free up your mind and your creativity. The past is over and there is nothing you can do to change it. The present is what you should focus on. Make time for yourself and adopt a more philosophical and spiritual approach. Your Spirit Guides wish to reveal themselves to you and send you great love and encouragement. A good exercise to do is to write everything on a piece of paper, allowing yourself to write everything that may be playing on your mind. Do not read anything as you write. When finished burn the paper and let it all go. This will lighten your burden and simplify your life. Allowing yourself to have some fun and enjoy each moment as a new inspiring experience. This painting is dedicated to Jotham – Painted with My Spirit Guides – With / Healing Thoughts And Love From The Sparrows. Music – Schubert – Serenade 24th October 2008

Paint your palette blue and grey / Look out on a summer’s day / With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils / Catch the breeze and the winter chills / In colours on the snowy linen land Now I understand / What you tried to say to me / And how you suffered for your sanity / And how you tried to set them free / They would not listen they did not know how / Perhaps they’ll listen now. Starry starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze / Swirling clouds in violet haze / Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue / Colours changing hue / Morning fields of amber grain / Weathered faces lined in pain / Are soothed beneath the artist’s LOVING hand Now I understand / What you tried to say to me / And how you suffered for your sanity / And how you tried to set them free / They would not listen they did not know how / Perhaps they’ll listen now For they could not love you / But still your love was true / And when no hope was left inside / On that starry starry night You took your life as lover’s often do But I could have told you, / Vincent, / This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you Starry starry night Portraits hung in empty halls / Frameless heads on nameless walls / With eyes that watch the world and can’t forget / Like the strangers that you’ve met The ragged men in ragged clothes / A silver thorn / A bloody rose / Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow / Now I think I know / What you tried to say to me / And how you suffered for your sanity / And how you tried to set them free / They would not listen / They’re not listening still Perhaps they never will – Words by Don McLean Music – Art of Noise – On Being Blue / For Vincent Painting in acrylics, inks, pigment, chalk and graphite / 100×42 cm on paper

Horse drinks from the fountain / And knows there is no need to change. / To live like this he must have reason / Passion he cannot rearrange. Acrylic ink and enamel.

In Mesopotamian myth, life arose from the mingling of Apsu, the sweet waters on which the earth floated, and the salt waters, personified by the chaos – goddess Tiamat who gave birth to all things and whose destruction led to the organized world. The sea is a maternal image and implies transformation and rebirth. It is also a symbol of infinite wisdom, and in psychology, of the unconscious. / Wax, acrylics, pigment and metallic leaf

May all love, / His love, unseen but felt, o’ershadow Thee, / The love of all Thy sons encompass Thee, / The love of all Thy daughters cherish Thee, / The love of all Thy people comfort Thee, / Till God’s love set Thee at his side again!

This painting with My Spirit Guides wishes to convey Bliss. This is only possible if you surrender yourself to everything around you. Please try and drop the layers you have built up to protect your inner core and the resistance you have built around yourself. If you can just sit quietly and allow yourself to experience these thoughts and transmute any pain you feel into consciousness and bliss. You do need to know how you really feel and then move past all the resistance without judgements or recriminations. Just surrender to the process and you will experience deep calm and tranquillity. / You have the presents of Ānanda who was one of the principal disciples of the Buddha. This is a wonderful message for you Valerie. Try and surrender to the moment and learn to access deep tranquillity. Within this state you have the potential to experience bliss and heightened awareness. This is something you should do daily. Your Spirit Guides wish to reveal themselves to you and send you great love and rewards for all your efforts. This painting is dedicated to Valerie – Painted with My Spirit Guides – With / Healing Thoughts And Love From The Sparrows. Music – Fill Up My Senses / 27th October 2008
