♥ the "I" paints

♥ layers of perception
My latest art enquiries take me to places of communication, cosmic communications ... the interplay of microcosm and macrocosm ... where the circle begins and ends and never is anything but itself ...

♥ Microscopic cell structures ...going inside the cell.... seeing the building blocks that are energetically all the same...  we are all made up of the same stuff... a tree... a stool.. a breath ....

... the archetypal angel paints an Oak tree in its microscopic view ...

♥ going even deeper into the quantumphysical nature of the movement of a cell ..an electron .... observed it behaves completly opposite than in its unobserved state ... ahh who is the keeper of the truth ...can i lay my eyes on it at all ??

... the archetypal female ... senses that which is larger than herself .... feels the cellular awareness that belies the body's solid nature ....

♥ communication .... cellular communication ... cosmic communication ...

who is talking to whom when all there is is the "I" that paints .........

shot out of the car whilst stuck in a traffic jam - view of st pauls cathedral london
- i love the way this shot turned out :->

london is easily walkable in many places but stunning views can also be had from its myriads of roofgardens
we are lucky that our apartment block has a large roofgarden that is especially fun to use in the summertime when the air is clear ...
here a peek at the view from the top



on the right in the distance one can spot the london eye wheel on a good day

♥ sprinkler dances




♥ getting prepared for summery love :-)



it is on days like these,
when the sun shines soo brightly
when squiggley giggles peek through water droplets caught in the excitement
when laughter comes from deep in the belly

that live blooms to its fullest joy

Self Portrait -- minus Tooth

♥

It has been a hard few days .... if I have one fear left ..its the dentist ... having had some treatment problems 10 years ago i still have an incredible fear installed in me when it comes to having to "open wide" and let someone yield spikey things in my mouth

...and now this ..

I have lost my front tooth ... due to an abscess in the rootcanal that has caused the bone to let go of the root in places

I had a gruelling 5 hour dentist appointment yesterday .. where they drilled away to their heart contents whilst my toes curled and my husband had to hold my hand just to stop me from fainting outright ....

♥

Letha suggested Gas and Air treatment to calm me down ...giggle... which reminded me of a time 9 years ago someone tried to do that during the time i gave birth to Maya ..and I passed out ..literally ...gas and air and my constitution are not particularly compatible




♥



♥

after the dentist i had to go and walk ..just walk it off so we went to a shopping centre and maya did her best to cheer me up ...:-)


♥

but now for the worst ... they have only managed to put a temporary filling into the hole as the abscess is too large

...i am having to take antibiotics to reduce the swelling of the abscess ,
...  i have to have 6 more sessions over the next 8 weeks trying to rebuild the rootcanal
... they are going to x-ray again next week to determine whehter that cause of action is possible
... if it does not return to a managable position,i will have to have an operation whereby they cut through my gum to restructure the toothhold from inside for a crown

♥

yikes

♥

i am breathing, and imagining the sound of the water drill to be waves at the ocean
i am focussing on my feet ...and their rootedness into the all that is
i am learning to observe my fear amidst the pain
i am hurting

but i am feeling stronger
and more able to witness and engage this body's fear

and i am wondering about the magnificent variety of possible experience life can throw at me...


.... or am i throwing it at my SELF :-)))

♥ extending myself

♥


there is a moment
when the heart recognizes itself
in another


there is a moment
when connections run deeper
than the naked eye


there is a moment
when all surrenders to itself
fully aware
