The Dao of coffee ... in tea


The commerce of coffee ...

"I have measured out my life with coffee spoons."
T. S. Eliot

... As for my spiritual life, it registers in tea bags ...

"Wake up" coffee cameo... The Muse

Reality is the "unknown" parked on our doorstep, beckoning: "Congratulations butterfly!"
"Can you free yourself and come out to play?"


~ Every truth is relative, relative to that which we have the capacity to condense into a frame of reference we can understand. And reality - Reality - is beyond words.

Limited, we are, to relying on a very rudimentary form of communication when trying to translate our experience (reality/Reality) into language or defining words. For every correct interpretation/translation there will be just as many incorrect/misinformed interpretations and translations. Truth can easily and inadvertently become obfuscated in the presence of agenda and bias.

Humans have similar parts so as to be grouped into a wonderful collective yet none is identical. Consciousness seeks awareness through each mind and creates a world that lives in and through each singular and limitless one.

And in that creation we are joined by companions (in form and non-form) who have greater abilities. Among their special talents is an ability to liberate the view of a vast conscious awareness, teeming with life, form and formless, beyond comprehension, coded into our knowing - as memory. And so we grow. 

For now, reduction carries the day in manifest creation of our landscape. Keep it simple. Label everything. All is relative to what we "know" through collective or consensus definition and that limitation creates a tidy box. Fortunately, evolution calls for liberation from the box thus, the many who have cracked the box code and modeled a foreshadowing of our collective destiny to simply work around it.

When we see their legacy of upward directed visions scattered in the breadcrumbs labeled "genius", "extraordinary", "exceptional", and "transcendent" ... our future lives now.

Furthermore, the flickering dawn of the future shows us allowing for a greater (divine) potential in all beings. In valuing all the ones - not just the exceptional or a specific gender or species - we value the One. That valuing opens the door to the next plane of awareness in the greater whole - playing hide and seek with us (for now)... in the Stardust.

Power Animals - Manifesting visions

Time to make the first post of 2012 -- Wolf and Dove -- in my coffee cup ...


Animals join me in my dreams. Sometimes they teach, sometimes they model and sometimes I shapeshift to become one of my spirit messengers. In clay and on paper, I created works that combined the wolf and the dove.

Today, as we walked the dogs, our neighborhood hawk graced us with a couple of circles directly above us on the path. The meanings are personal but I can share this bit of art because that is what it reminded me of.

Spirit is ever-present in whatever form is required to trigger the connection. Wake up and smell the new year!

Last Coffeehouse appearance in 2011

Hard to believe it's almost here ... 2012 ...  My work is up now at the South location for the Roasterie Cafe.

It's been a great year! Am looking forward to more opportunities and sharing new versions of my work .. hope you have a wonderful 2011 and enjoy an even better 2012 ...








This world is but a canvas to our imagination.
Henry David Thoreau

I have managed to land on the coffeehouse canvas ... not a bad place to hang out ... and imagine.

Nine Kokopelli - Dancing into 2012

Honoring Spirit

This art needs words .. the number 9 is also an important element. No simple explanation for that other than the frames called for balance and 9 was the only one that felt right. 9 Kokopelli dancing into 2012. Speaks to the illusion of reality and the dance of light and life. All is not what it seems. There is a higher purpose at work. We can laugh or get locked into the seriousness of it all. No matter, it will arrive.

I created the piece. Afterward, came the support information about the 9 Gods of 2012 and I realized the connection. The words came. Never a dull moment in wonderland.


"The Spirits Warn You Twice, The Third Time You Stand Alone." - This is a living spiritual code, an essential part of divine law, fully operational, 24/7. It works, whether you see it or not.

How many times have we been warned? We will find out together. Do not look to see whether everyone else is cleaning up their house. Clean your own and others can look to you.

From Philip Coppens - ["... it is clear that each culture, whether Mayan, Egyptian or 20th century Western society, was and is in contact with an alien intelligence, which each time, relates messages that are identical in context. 

The number nine is prominent in another culture, which is believed to have had direct links with the Maya: the Hopi of Arizona."]
What are the 9? A broad range of possibilities are discussed in the link: 2012, Science or Fiction?

A Change of Scenery ...

On a clear day... you can see.


Went to Texas for some much needed down time. On the first day, I was graced with a flyover from a hawk -- three times. I decided to take pictures of the wildlife and sat for a moment to capture the view. Just then, the Egret launched. I snapped --- FAST! So totally unexpected, this shot. In that fleeting moment, it felt like I was flying too.
