Displaying Our Work, Sharing Our Gifts.

cat shadow on toad sketch journal

A contagious extraversion, Art and Culture and Spirits Inspired by The Display inflorescence.Mold on Apple 

The Most Solitary, Shy ,simple and secluded become complex exhibitionists in their season.full of Meaning and message.Spore and Seed

Where is the external prompt for this emergent beauty ? and it’s ties to reproduction and Space for the next  generation.

Aesthetic Attention and Awareness, Giving of ones self

Attractiveness in communication,persuasion,resonance as a tool

An Appeal to the senses of Others

Audience

Fertility in Unforced expression and appreciation that is Free and Honest attempt to stand out,show your stuff, and do your thing.and be moved by others in Group activity

This is wrongly portrayed as sexual competition for Mates.

It is actually  a unanticipated response , a plea to place,Partnership with locale.

A Home Wish!

Territory Turn on, the point of Pride and Parade is Presence and Place .

  A courtship display for Territory or Turf, A mating dance with our World.and our gratitude for being part of all that exists

Feeling we are being heard or seen is part of species survival and Spiritual messaging.

Cosmic Companionship. Community cooperation connection ,Psychic mobility

Momenary Moth Meeting

Interacting and interrelating with our Environment, Actively engaged and enveloped in  the ever-changing Now.

Knowing the Bird song and the flowers scent are Social Media. Future growth potential.Elaborate expressions of specificity., not binary seduction switches available and accessible for convenience.

Shadow on cat on deck with chipmunk

Being part of the Scene.  Our Day in the Sun

Belonging in borrowed bodies from Time to Time

The Story of Life unfolds naturally with repetition and reproduction coupled with distribution of Organic material through time and space .

Spirits inhabit these changing forms of flesh with an unaccounted for influence on behavior and character of actions,appearance and disposition.

Casting a curios shadow on what we do.

At times they shine in a special way.

They effect our presentation.

What we have to offer

The transmission of habit, or telling of Story.

Flavor and Style

sketch Ephemeral Elasticity

There is something under lying a inexplicably recurring  urge to merge,

that is Pre-Organic

Things have,

The need to get together, to gather and group,keep in touch, mix it up.

Ashokan Amplexis Buffo Americanus sketch

There is a time release magic in repetition. Annual events, Meetings,Conventions Ritualistic Behaviors.Subtle variations on a theme over Time

And relationship to Place= Meeting=Sharing= Surviving,repeat,remember

The Stead in Homestead and Steady and Instead  , the Habit in Habitat

Place, Location, Home,returning

The line and the two dimensional plane. the Surface , above and below all around

illusion and memory in broad gestures in pencil and ink.

Scribbly sort of sketch book kind of thing, before beginning the Painting,

I saw it with my own eyes, I was there ,part of the Scene when things were Happening!

I wasn’t actually involved, more of a witness than participant, yet it spawned what I am Sharing with You= Here =Now.      strange,

What Dimensional plane, what drawn line connects us?

Buying and selling Time and Space? Ideas and Ownership?

the commercialization of Experience? or the Credit or credentials associated with it?

Is that our unthinking expectation,

a social and societal reflex to think of time and money and life and worth?

Is this destructively simple and extreme response to our collectively distorted sense of Environmental influences, Anxiety,Competition,Predation,feeling externally threatened ,we become aggressive and fear about the future,a reduced range or territory we have an innate desire to seek and establish  Safe Space. a real Place. Shelter.

The difference between what you want and what you have are compounded by the observations, comparisons, and responses of others around you. particularly those that share experience in a shared space enclosure for a period of time.

so it is with Schedules and Spirits,tents and books.

A paranormal trans dimensional real estate bubble of the electronic digital age where the  Pasture is in cyberspace.The Market is on line,a psychic spiritual contact on computer.

Altering our generational courtship call,  Triggering our nesting habits,life cycles,Feeding Behavior? Consumer Habits.Returning, repeating,remembering

Our ability to travel, go on vacation and have a good time are not the same economic functions as seasonal herding and crop work , People Movements, were determined by the needs of their livelihood Nature,

Spirits of Niche.Spirits of Migrations and Miles and Months returning year after year part of a continual process of gradation, subtle change, not sudden change.

Observed experience not controlled experience.

Again and again     The Summer is Out !

Surface Sensitivity, Tactile Telemetry

grey%20speckled%20salamader

The essential point of contact between Ourselves and all that is Other, or Outer is a Personal and sensual response to pressure.

Impression and impact of our being and our actions on all the things around us.

The consequences of our doing, controlling the cause and effect as best we can to try to feel a direct genuine experience of the  reactions of Others.

To care about the feelings of Others, to sense The presence of another .

This is Communion, an energetic response of awareness and witness,

Promoting Respectful Encounters

Honoring Response is not the same as seeking approval

It is not as simple as what turns you on, or turning on another,

It lies in the  difference between tickling and trampling, Stroking and poking .sharing or stealing.Chancing and cheating .

It is not about pursuing  pleasure, or seeking satisfaction.convenience or control.Service and expectation.popularity or prestige.

It is being opposed to the violation of Touch and Truth,

A passionate  sanctity of fair play ,a good game ,a real Life , an Honest Experience.

Belief outside of our Self and our self interests.

Knowing that Others do not exist to serve us.

It is our ability to charm and be charmed that builds relationship.

Acknowledging  transference, our transitional Natures, the Power of Love

Mingling, Merging,Mixing

The discovery of Hidden Beauty within 

Moving Magic of Moment.

Exchange

Connection

Epigenetic Existentialism

IMG_8866

 

Macrocosmic and Microcosmic fluidity

Bodies responding and interacting with their Environment in ways they are not consciously aware of .

Organization and function of Organs and Cells,Tissue memory,

Ancestral trauma,responses, triggers,defense and survival.

The desires ,expectations and experiences of the dead influence the formation of the living .

The Need that is in our Bone.

The Drive , the reason, the doing

The strategy of overcoming challenges

Adaptation instinct, excitement for life.

We are not always comfortable or knowledgeable with our inherited traits and behaviors,

A phobia of phenotype, and our sense of independent Self,being something more than a process of reproduction.

Heredity and Heritage,is passed on to offspring , Maybe we don’t like to think of ourselves as Children, a byproduct of Parents having Sex.

We are Generational variants on a living theme, a crop of our time, part of a natural transference of potential life information,Hope and Blessing from an Ancestral agenda,and playbook.  Biological updates on how a Human Body fits into the World,and the World that is our Body.

peek a boo

 Me in My Urbanematon 92

I must have taken a digital picture of a print a few years ago.

Discovered while looking for something else,

It was E-Mailed to me from the computer downstairs,

to the computer upstairs.

I went up in my attic and dug into a Box of Druid papers and found the brown and crumpled page 45 of  New York Newsday,October 29th of 1993.

The Photographer of this piece uses her Name in the Paper interview,

Leading Me back down to the upstairs computer, to do a search on her Name.

Her Face book page shows up before her obituary ,she died April 11th of 2013.

I head out to the Studio, upstairs and look  in the cabinet of publishing past .

there in the 4th volume, number 6 ,                           News from the Mother Grove,

June- July 1992 c.e.,page 5 ,the credit is given as she wished to be known.

Skylark Birdwmyn took this photo when I was Young, getting into earth works and Idolatry.I had no computer then.

She came from Brooklyn to Jersey City,to do the Green Man Grove thing,

She was from Chicago, went back sometime after we lost touch.

She was a working professional character actress, recognizable by the  popular television advertisement of the time, One of a group of office women leering at some hot laborer body out the window.  Witty, Funny and Wise, I tried to get her to be the Grove Senior Druid and She flew off.

She had a strong Avian affinity that was expressed in her Obit Pic. She was very knowledgeable about Egyptian Soul concepts for a practicing Metrodruid of Polish heritage.

I have some starched string snowflakes she gave Me that come out for Solstice every year.

She has captured this formative Time,  nurtured the transformative event of Me.

Thanks to Her, all can see

I am clearly outside of the Box,

or ,I was out side of a ten gallon aquarium set on end,in a back lot of a Brownstone when people took pictures with film, and traveled out of there way to see one another,struggling to secure Sacred Space.

Actions speak louder than words

What is doing? and what Needs doing?

When does all the talking the talk,

get in the way of walking the walk?

We have the eccentric tendency to try to encapsulate religious and spiritual experience in words,Ritual Scripts,Magic Books.

The divide between what is real, and what was printed on paper,

Our step to take or not , in our mind.

We have to stand still to read it.

Stop what we are doing?

Rephrase the mystic communion of Self and Surroundings for Tourists?

Embryonic Shad

Why do we need to think about it?

Why the want of Direction !

The inherent dynamism of  Natural  needs no instructions,or explanations

Words are Human Magic.

An important tool with People and their shared beliefs, but failing to define or limit the true nature of what is trying to be conveyed’

Or Worshipped.

Language is our convenient simplification of experience .

Action is Natural ,      Feel it

Doing!

Signal Recognition ,Vector Transmission,Network Direction,Proximity Parameters

Towers and Trees stretched networks

I Think Electricity has changed  Magic and Spirit ,or the Belief in Unseen Energies among People and the world around them.

Causing us to loose touch with an innate Environmental Telepathy.,A Magic Ability to Receive Knowledge of a distant Times Places,Things and Events.

The Almanac making ,flying a Key on the Kite,Post Master, Ambassador, Face on the Big Bill pushed the Animal Magnetism proponent underground over seas,Showing us how to Address one another in the New world.

Delivering to the semi Literate, a More Modern Form of the Old Keep Sake, or Memento Magic of separated Loved ones.Tokens of Meaning,Lockets and Rings,Contracts of connection,objects of remembrance.The Letter of Words was considered More Real because the results could be reproduced ,Words can be read again ,and again.

What Had once been sealed in wax and sent by private Courier amongst Nobility would be placed in an envelope For the common Folk!  distributed as a service by the Government.Shocking! Revolutionary!

What are Letters or Packages anyway but  the exchange of Peoples Wishes ,and Words.Are they much different than Prayer?

Communication and concept of community?

Post and Press taking the functions of Clerics, Scribes and Priests in a Post colonial Perception of Person and Paranormal power.

The Circuit interrupter, The Carrier,Spirit in Wire.

The Telegraph  changed the Way People accepted the reality and validity of a communication, a new sense of urgency , speed and a Seemingly Magic instantaneous  traveling of great distance,Faster than anything that can be observed,

This Spirit, This Power, This Energy that makes the Wire live

Electricity had taken over

Official Business and Popular Awareness became Technologically Driven.

Hyper conditioning our ability to reference one another and build up a consensual reality .Augmenting our Natural sense of Time and Space,How in touch we are.

The Wizard of Menlo Park was on the hot seat about his Spiritual Beliefs, Illuminating us that,Nature is the intelligence behind everything.while securing credit and patent for self.

The switch from Spiritual Mediums to a more Mechanistic understanding or Belief in how things work is based on the illusion of  Self empowerment.and the Feeling of Control we have to turn something on or off.

The Electric Light is a power trip.

The Human Nervous system is wired communication, information from the senses.

The Moving picture is Animate Life recorded on film, More of the Soul of the subject is conveyed when static limitations vanish, and light and shadow can change,capturing the Sprit, the essence of the moment .Our attention and focus are drawn magnetically  into the realm of illusion and enchantment

Time , light and sound, recorded ,reproduced and distributed for sale The Inventive Genius is no longer a disembodied companion spirit whispering in our thoughts,

but the owned product of Human Artifice.

What had been a tradition of skilled Human Mediums and simple tools, becomes a sophisticated  devise that anyone can use.

The Superstitions of the Backwoods Folk who lived in the Dark were Contrasted with those who kept up with the times.The Popular divisions between Magic and Science,

Spirit or Energy,Nature or Technology, Man and Machine. Medium and Content.

It is a  old profound Time in the Human Social Psyche  in the recent modern Age that effects what we may be expecting to experience, how we experience,and How we describe or relate experience.How Spirits Manifest, what they look and sound like.

 

Inner State Landscape, Interstate Scenery,Looking out the window, Driving By

patterns in Movement, expanding Cell Coverage Network ,Subtle Earth Energies

Intergenerational Migratory Memory’ The Old Route, Overgrown Roadside transition

Towers and telephone poles and Power lines, traveling thru time

Spirits likes to Travel,   always,       getting around ,                 On the Move! 

All things are responsive to Energy,  growing oriented to relative support structures around them,and within them

Jet stream, Gulf stream, World Breath, Planet Power

Everything talks to everything else, We don’t pay attention, or give it much mind.

If it is Important it will be put into Our language,Our Media,Our Network,

We have been raised to distrust direct personal experience and seek group approval, and social acceptance.

A switch from Human as Mystic model of the Macrocosm to,

Modern Market Manipulated Mobility Machine.

Communication is not promoted as an exchange between Souls,Spirit and Society,

but a means to make Sales.
