A Matter of Perspective


My friend, Bert Gammill and I went painting a while back in the valley (I live on the mountain above, in the desert). We set up with the same view, after a rain storm. We painted very different pieces, as you can see! It's not just a difference in technique or medium or even of talent. We were each looking through different eyes. I saw the wet and the green predominantly because (I guess) I live in the desert and she saw the high clouds above sandy hills because the valley and the green-ness are always in her view. We painted the energy of the day. My painting is at Tatiana Maria Gallery in Silver City - where I had to explain that it really is a painting of New Mexico! I am profoundly drawn by this experience to see that others in my life have certainly seen things through different eyes as well. Maybe the negativity I perceived was actually just a different perspective, a different spirit...

Horses Heal Us

If you can get you out of the way when you come to your horse, he will show you how to shift your position within the field to a place that supports and nurtures your soul. It's all about how you feel and you empower those feelings and they create your reality and your horse is ready to show you how to feel magnificent.

Compassion not Compulsion

In all of our relationships, the light of integrity is held by Compassion. If we consider something other than our own motives and agendas, we can open to living a real life outside of the world of illusion. With animals, we will establish communication instead of domination. With loved ones, we will share our very souls. With humanity, we will become beacons of reason and unconditional love. We will shift ourselves and those who resonate with Nature to a higher kind of love and life where the demoralizing of others is simply not accepted.
