The Dance by Oriah Mountain Dreamer I have sent you my invitation, / the note inscribed on the palm of my hand by the fire of living. / Don’t jump up and shout, “Yes, this is what I want! Let’s do it!” / Just stand up quietly and dance with me. Show me how you follow your deepest desires, / spiralling down into the ache within the ache. / And I will show you how I reach inward and open outward / to feel the kiss of the Mystery, sweet lips on my own, everyday. Don’t tell me you want to hold the whole world in your heart. / Show me how you turn away from making another wrong without abandoning yourself when you are hurt and afraid of being unloved. Tell me a story of who you are, / And see who I am in the stories I am living. / And together we will remember that each of us always has a choice. Don’t tell me how wonderful things will be . . . some day. / Show me you can risk being completely at peace, / truly OK with the way things are right now in this moment, / and again in the next and the next and the next. . . I have heard enough warrior stories of heroic daring. / Tell me how you crumble when you hit the wall, / the place you cannot go beyond by the strength of your own will. / What carries you to the other side of that wall, / to the fragile beauty of your own humanness? And after we have shown each other how we have set and kept the clear, healthy boundaries that help us live side by side with each other, let us risk remembering that we never stop silently loving those we once loved out loud. Take me to the places on the earth that teach you how to dance, the places where you can risk letting the world break your heart. / And I will take you to the places where the earth beneath my feet and the stars overhead make my heart whole again and again. Show me how you take care of business / without letting business determine who you are. / When the children are fed but still the voices within and around us shout that soul’s desires have too high a price, / let us remind each other that it is never about the money. Show me how you offer to your people and the world / the stories and the songs you want our children’s children to remember, and I will show you how I struggle / not to change the world, but to love it. Sit beside me in long moments of shared solitude, / knowing both our absolute aloneness and our undeniable belonging. Dance with me in the silence and in the sound of small daily words, holding neither against me at the end of the day. And when the sound of all the declarations of our sincerest / intentions has died away on the wind, dance with me in the infinite pause before the next great inhale of the breath that is breathing us all into being, not filling the emptiness from the outside or from within. Don’t say, “Yes!” / Just take my hand and dance with me.

The phrase swan song refers to Mute Swan and to the legend that it is utterly silent until the last moment of its life, and then sings one achingly beautiful song just before dying; Socrates’ last words before being put to death in 399 BC: “You think I cannot see as far ahead as a swan. You know that when swans feel the approach of death they sing, and they sing sweeter and louder on the last days of their lives because they are going back to that God whom they serve.”

Listening to Etta James singing “At Last” is what inspired this little cherub or cupid angel with a violin… At last / my love has come along / my lonely days over / and life is like a song At last / the skies above are blue / my heart was wrapped up in clover / the night I looked at you / I found a dream / that I could speak to / a dream that I could call my own / I found a thrill to press my cheek to / a thrill that I have never known You smile / you smile / and then the spell was cast / and here we are in heaven / for you are mine at last Wishing you all LOVE and a Happy Valentine’s Day ;) xoxoxo AT LAST Drawing/paint with Wacom Graphic pad and a little redfield plug-in fractilius

Shot of the Moon with the words to the song “Aquarius”, originally sung on Broadway in the musical “Hair”, written in 1964; made even more famous by the 5th Dimension, in 1969. / The shot is for MIA’s newest challenge… Forty years ago, the intuitive words of a song called “Aquarius” brought the dawning of the new age into our collective awareness: / When the moon is in the Seventh house and Jupiter aligns with Mars. Then peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars. / At dawn on February 14, the Cosmos actually embodies this perfect alignment to support our collective manifestation of love and peace and the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. We are offered cosmic support to re-membering who we really are, by a rare astrological concentration that brings together a number of planets together with the North Node (higher purpose) in Aquarius, which energizes and inspires the possibility for transcendental breakthrough and healing. / We measure our global sense of both space (longitude) and time (universal time – GMT) from the prime meridian located at Greenwich, England. We can perceive the collective influence of this momentous astrological event by looking at the alignment from this globally ‘centered’ perspective. When we do, something exquisite and extraordinary emerges. / At dawn, 2/14, the day dedicated to St. Valentine, the patron saint of Love, the Moon in Libra enters the seventh house of relationships. And Jupiter and Mars are aligned in Aquarius in the twelfth house of spiritual transformation. / The Aquarian chart reveals an incredible concentration of cosmic influences blending with the energies, with the presence of Chiron, the wounded healer, offering us the opportunity to heal the schisms that have separated us for so long. Neptune emphasizes collective humanitarian movements and the co-creation of social justice. And, the presence of the radiant Sun enlightens the entire alignment. Mercury also in the twelfth house, just beyond the cusp of Capricorn allies with transformational Pluto to communicate and anchor the SHIFT throughout our global structures and institutions. / The Moon in Libra (in the 7th house) emphasizes harmonious real-ationships; Venus in Aries (in the 1st house) energizes and empowers dynamic co-creativity. Whilst Saturn, the great task master, in opposition to Uranus, the unexpected awakener, is suggesting an ongoing confrontation as the dregs of the unsustainable paradigm reluctantly give way to the untested hope of the new, their placements in Virgo and Pisces brings practical altruism and visionary inspiration to the transition. / Not since 2/14/1962, has this alignment taken place, although the South Node was the energizing component, focusing on the past and taking a collective IN-Breath of possibility – with this 2009 alignment, with cosmic support, we are able to take a collective OUT-Breath and make it happen. / This alignment takes place at 7:25am for 18 minutes – I invite you, in the Universal Heart, to add your own intentions for love and peace and to co-create the dawning of the age of aquarius… / The second verse of the song: / Harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding, no more falsehoods or derisions, golden living dreams of visions – magic crystal revelation and the minds true liberation… / Aquarius!!! / Aquarius

I was asked by a very good and caring individual to create this work for his partner as a gift. Often when I create these images I find there is a lot of thought put into the positioning of their arms and the gestures communicated by say the tilt of their head, or torso. As the faces are not apparent it is up to me to communicate what I perceive with the use of line, texture and shadow. As I drew this piece I speculated, and I do not know this couple well enough to know these things, but let’s just say the ideas came through as I created this work. The character to the left is lurching back ever so slightly, while the character on the right embraces his face – looking directly at him. He sees ‘Red’ for who he truly is. Red finds this disconcerting initially but his is one of the many reasons Red loves him. Red bodily embraces “Grey” his energy and his passions, Red harnesses and grounds Grey enabling him to grow. I hope you enjoy the work I have created for you guys and have no idea whether if any of what I have written is relevant but thought I would share my take on the work. Enjoy Bello’s! Hope you have a great Valentines Shane and Matt!

Artist statement: My journey as an abstract artist began many years ago when I was looking for emotional healing. I had the need to reach inside myself and manipulate my unconscious feelings. Once I was able to achieve that, I created art which allowed me to dance with my psyche. / I now have found peace and freedom within. I love strong, bold and vibrant colors, the fall/autumn colors speak to me the most. / I am not afraid to make changes and to let the emotion come through. I am an expressionist not an illustrator. My paintings can be a confrontation and may make you look deep within. I hope my art pieces will bring the same joy to you. / Your job is to clear your conscious mind of thoughts and preconceptions in order to allow yourself to be influenced by what you see.
