whale yin ... whale yang

whale yin .... whale yang

I'm not sure if this painting is upside-down or not.   I was inspired by a tile mosaic I saw from Pompai. Whales seemed to make sense in the yin-yang theme, so I played with the theme.

nature heals nature

nature heals nature

because it can

and there's nothing more important going on ...

poro= reindeer  (in Finnish)


cooler thoughts for a hot summer

whaling error ...

time for a few small repairs ...
... meanwhile life is good on the surface
staying present and buoyant.

oil whales on target

It's just not a good time to be a water-mammal in the gulf-or soon enough ANY body of water,
... but don't worry, just as soon as all the feeble attempts at controlling the flow fail- then we'll get serious about halting this "problem".

Nordic crows in the oilslick rain...

The land adjacent to the Gulf is experiencing "oil-rain"
Just another step closer for BP's attempt to annihilate the Southern Civilization.
How long until that "oil-cloud" reaches Europe and beyond.......?                          
As Navarro's Blog put it- we've done a far worse disaster to ourselves than any terrorist organization could have done....and we're still chasing shadows in the Middle East cuz' why????

honu asea

water has memory
of all thoughts that occur nearby
let's send healing thoughts to the "troubled waters"

Devon Daisy steps up

killer whale on fire

Today is the longest "day" of the year
official beginning of summer
the summer solstice
and it sucks to be a whale

Waking Up Is Hard To Do

my underwater friends enjoy being present

whale skeleton

The San Francisco Aquarium

or  California Academy of Science

offers the behind the scenes tour

of the facility; I was given the opportunity to see "The Platinum Tour" courtesy of my Daughter and Son-in-Law. WOW. very cool.

The skeleton hangs from the ceiling.

whaley

I

I'm in San Francisco, minding my Grand-puppy and prepping to do some serious gardening work. Hot, hot weekend, but cold, cold Monday.

Honu

honu is "sea turtle" in hawaiian.

honu  also means earth

honu is about the story of creation in many cultures

underwater the honu is as graceful as a ballerina.

heartfelt and amazing to behold

heart within a heart within ...

sometimes it seems so clear
the protective layers of the heart:
they go beyond protection;
by insulating everything (away).
simply recognizing this opens the first layers...

soul on fire

(first page in a new journal)
soul on fire
how do you know if your soul is on fire?
follow the smoke, i guess...

hermit whale heart

you can't hide forever in that heart of yours
come on out and take a swim...

the hole in the soul is filled...

quantum mechanics tell us that there is no "empty space"
all space has energy.
energy is life.
a "hole" is an opportunity to access more energy(life).
thusly, the hole in the sole is lifesource ...

reclined to comment

oh oh the lazy daze of summer are here
if i could only get up.....

oily plume

the least happiest whales on the planet 
having to migrate around the infamous BP oil plume

double nested

Sometimes, sharing the "nest" can seem a little crowded....
but snuggling can be nice...

Springtime gardens are a great place to chill and get the head some focus ...
