Originating deep beneath the Solar Plexus
A soul, born of a radiant fire.

Lift it upwards, 
Raise it higher, 
Carry it forward, unto its peak - beyond its absolute limit. 

Is there no pinnacle?

A painting done during a walk through the emerald cloud garden. At times where I become translucent and observe each and every thing as they pass through me. 

Please, remember to breathe.

"Let it go, paint my body gold,
Take our bodies higher and higher and higher." 

Whitefire Phoenix

I lift my hands in full surrender.  Make no mistake— these are hands of Praise. 

At the time I had originally made this painting, there was something greater

reaching for me

calling out to me

pulling me closer

— that I did not and could not fully understand. 

I'm starting to.

Why is my body burning? Whose flames are these?

Burning Bones.

The emergence of the ferocious, gentle spirit. 

It arises out of the desire and responsibility to protect. It arises from the desire and will to serve.  

"You said all who master their paths arrive at the same place." 

There was this tremendous heat. 

It's not done. It's not finished.
Preparing the way.
Walking that path.

Flame Tiger.

White Hot!!

Originating deep beneath the Solar Plexus
An atmosphere of concentrated passion
Magnified intensity, amplified under gravity

Born of a magnificent heat,
A spark out of a spoken flame

Do you remember?

White Flame Tiger 

"You can see the soul in people's eyes!!
You can see the soul in people's eyes!!"

I jumped up as I repeatedly exclaimed that statement to my friend (2021). 

Eyes reveal the space between silence. It isn't just that eyes serve as the window to the soul— one's gaze carries with it both their Focus and Intention.

If you are blessed to meet someone's gaze in a moment of intimacy, express your purest intention. When it is met, each will see their reflection through the eyes of another.

And for a moment, you may come to dance with each other.

Eyes that See in the Dark

From my love and fascination of the natural world. As a child, my father would take me down to the water's edge and cheer me on as I caught every living species I could find — snakes, fish, turtles... but my favorite was always frogs!

I got to keep some of the cool ones! Always released them though...

There was quiet promise made for a strong start to the week.

"For a long time I've wanted to paint more than just figures, more than just portraits. There was an opportunity for growth— to leap out of my comfort zone and expand into something new. Every time you reach out there's more to you. This may be the first tree, but in reality it's just one small seed. "
