Art loses its ego when paired with purpose: lovephotography.org: a dairy of many: we are never the same person twice.

An S.O.S.: Calling Upon All Angels

Joy Matters*

*Passion & Compassion*

Seek out, seek in...always seeking, always on a journey to bridge the world within with the world around.

Knowing that so many are hurting and alone when there is no need.

If we could just pause long enough to turn the tide.

We are a force of nature because we are nature.

Even when the oil runs dry, the sun will still fuel us. All the panic takes us further away from our natural state, our connection to the creative force, and to the brilliant power of simply being alive.

Enjoy the ocean if you can and work toward it.

I aim to use my time to add to the creative rather than destructive forces vying for the Earth's resources.

I have found over a million Earth angels on the same mission: to create sustainable beauty out of life.

Let this be a prelude and not the exception.

I honor the lights of this great city as a power point for change, as the center of art, and as a vine of near-ripe revolutionaries.

Artists, women, good people of the Earth rising: rise some more.

*Revolution begins with personal evolution...

Bless & Be Blessed*

a dairy of many: we are never the same person twice.

i have been wanting to write for years. i have been writing for years. time for sharing. stop stop. not time yet. how not to let the ego pull me forward? i only step to the center after spending much time on the sidelines, watching, growing, listening, learning. i have so much more to learn, so very far to go, but there comes a moment in evolution when one feels ripe, so ripe they might burst. i am in one of these great times, when the pain of holding back becomes greater than the fear of letting go.

i am sharing personal stories with anyone who is interested. i do not claim to be an expert on anything, in fact, i remain a mystery even to myself - so how could i ever claim to know another? the sad lonely truth of this world. impossible to get under another's skin. yet, oh how hard we try.

life makes me laugh - it is so ridiculous.

this book will be seven chapters. it will explore natural health and healing. fuck the drugs and the system. greed and lack of common sense has turned American health care into a nightmare.

rape. yes, it happens to most women, many children, girls, and boys. it happens every two seconds in America. it is a strategy of war. if there is ever to be a chance of seeing a healing humanity we must start here - the basic respect for our sacred temples...breakdowns into breakthroughs. i will never be a victim. i will not plant this seed of fear within me. women find your weapons, whether it be your voice or your leaving.

this book also explores the modern role of family, of friends and lovers, of politics and sex, the environment, the spirit, the reasons we keep breathing and the paths we find toward joy. it is complex - a reflection of life through my eyes.
