Alex Grey. Explaining Everything. Without Words.

I guess I should have known

I shouldn't have been surprised,

Yet I could not believe

the images in front of my eyes!

BEHOLD! 

Mystic Wonder

In technicolor form

This man has talents I thought,

Way above the norm!

I could've stayed for hours

marveling at his form

observing his artistic powers 

made my heart feel warm!

If you haven't seen the show,

You better make your way

to the Art galleries of West Chelsea

You won't regret the day!

Also currently featured at this gallery is the work of Pablo Amaringo. He has a similar style to Alex Grey, and yet is completely different in his execution. His current show is called Shamanic Illusion. See photos below...

BUT ACT FAST FOLKS! SUPPLIES ARE ONLY WHILE THEY LAST! THIS GALLERY IS ENDING ON 10/22/11!!

It's location is 529 W20th Street between 10th and 11th avenues. Please go. You will be glad you did!

It appears there are slight
discrepancies here.
Or there.
And perhaps everywhere—
as a general rule.

Do you in fact know
where it is that we are?

It would seem,
that you and I are both here—
in this moment paused at this
word.

Yet, I am not there with you
as you sit there to read this
word.

Or the line below;
Something about
Being in two places at once
Which may or may not
be the case,
here.

In any case,
I used to be here—
where you are now,
so I guess in some form
what we have here
is something illustrative
of sharing…

Our Experiences

Rothbury 2009

So, I think that it might be fair to say that there's no place on earth like Rothbury, Michigan. Rothbury is something like a modern day woodstock, if not what original woodstockers' couldn't have imagined in their wildest dreams!--Ok so maybe they could imagine it, but to actually witness it as something tangible? Probably not. This past summer I was lucky enough to have a good group of friends who agreed to make the grueling 11 1/2 hour drive out in a small volvo standard overflowing with our camping apparatus which we would use for the weekend. We were all super and excited and I think I can speak for all of them when I say that we were not to be disappointed. The energy was unbelievable from the moment our car pulled into the gates to begin check in, to the day that we departed. Adventure and marvel was around every corner and not once throughout the weekend did I meet a mean and uncaring soul. Everything and everyone was absolutely exquisitely beautiful in its/his/her own way.


I think that there is a lot to be learned from a festival such as Rothbury. People may think that it's just some place where crazy hippies go to relive their glory days and take large quantities of mind altering substances.. and while that may very well be a part of it, it's so much more than that. It is a uniting, an understanding, a place where you can go to be yourself. And the amazing thing is that whether your love be art, music, people, food, crafts, clothes, or just a good time it's an experience that you are sharing with many others on a level not of this world. The peace, the love, the learning is all authentic and genuine. Needless to say, I plan to be in attendance next year!


I still run into people all over the place who have gone to Rothbury and share the same feeling towards it as myself and many others. So if you're looking for adventure or you need a life changing experience, or you're just plain bored.. consider a ticket and a trip, but more importantly, memories that will last you a lifetime. 


until next time-- peace and love :)

The 2012 Prediction

Let's face it, there's something in human beings that makes us all have this ever tumultuous love/hate relationship with the unknown. From mysteries to ghost stories and death people are absolutely enthralled and even they don't know why. Maybe that's why opinions on 2012 are becoming the greatest thing since the year of Y2K. Everybody has a thought or an opinion even if they won't share it about what they think is going to happen come December 21, 2012. Mainly thus far in the discussion amongst scholarly individuals there are 2 major theories. Either this is going to be a massive event in the process of human evolution or we will cease to exist as we know it. I myself fall into the former of the two. 


I never really thought too hard about it before because I find there is also a fear that come along with the unknown and the fact that we never really get an answer until the day comes and the answer is finally presented to us. However, this past summer I was getting my hair cut/colored and while I was waiting for the dye to set in I had a full 18 minutes of nothing to do, and a pile of magazines in front of me. Although InTouch weekly and Star magazine crossed my mind..(how could I live without knowing about Britney's latest) my eye fell instead, to a magazine I had never really bothered to pick up: Interview Magazine Any way upon shifting through the large glossy pages I happened upon this article with John Pinchbeck and was immediately captivated. 


Now I could go on and on about what he said, but check out the links above for yourself. Who knows you might just find what you were looking for.


check out this video too! Come 2012


Hope this gave some of you food for thought!


Until next time.. imagine
