I was thinking about how an oasis can be a physical oasis, but also a spiritual oasis. Maybe this is one of those power spots or a convergence of ley lines.
I know I’ve sometimes felt the energy in these places — I wonder if any of y’all have?
I’d love to hear your experiences.

My paintings are about the reality behind what we see with our eyes. The plants, the river, the mountains, the clouds, the reflection of the clouds in the water and even us and our thoughts and dreams. Everything is energy, interconnected in a vast cosmic dance of consciousness and all is one.

Round the Bend: Acrylic on paper, $250.00
What’s round that bend? Looks like a magical place to me. Of course every place can be magical though — if you choose to find the magic in it.

Acrylic on panel, 8×8″ $495.00
It’s not always about some profound metaphor or insight. Sometimes it’s enough just to feel and rejoice in the vibrance of existence.
Which of course can be pretty profound in itself.
Not to mention a lot of fun!

Acrylic on canvas, 25″x25″
The San Joaquin Kit Fox is an endangered species. Its natural habitat is the southwest United States and Northern Mexico, although it has steadily been losing habitat because of human expansion.
They’ve been listed as endangered since 1967, and in 2007 a special area was set aside for them as a protected habitat. You can think of it as a reservation for kit foxes, and like most other “reservations” it’s a fraction of their original territory, and not really enough for them to thrive and return in significant numbers.
Its numbers are dwindling, both because of human activity and because of predators. Of course the predator activity wouldn’t be such a problem if the habitat hadn’t shrunk so much.
So Saint Crying Fox has good reason to cry.
Not passively, but alive, like a determined weed, growing where we least expect it to thrive. Of course it’s only a weed as long as we reject it. Once we embrace it, we can see that it’s this amazing strong beautiful flower that spreads faster than dandelions on a suburban lawn.
Oh yeah, we reject it because we think we’re not worthy of it, or we think it hurt us before so it’s most likely going to hurt as again, or a thousand other reasons.
Dumb.
Dumb dumb dumb.
Understandable, but really… dumb.
The thing is, love doesn’t actually care about any of that. Because when we get over the dumb, it’ll still be there.
Waiting.
And even if we never get over the dumb, it’ll still be there. Growing in the deep waters of our soul.
Waiting.
You picking up on a pattern here?

Of course they do. But like the stars, it’s more that they’re just harder to see in the daytime.
Fairies? Elementals, orbs, spirits, birds with flashlights? Well, probably not that.
Those familiar with them tell how they tend to exhibit disconcertingly intelligent, even playful, behavior too which makes them even more fascinating. Or weird, depending on how you look at it.
Which of course brings us to Shakespeare, who wrote “there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”
Solid advice if you ask me. Which of course you didn’t, but so what?
Good ol’ Shakespeare.

The old saying points to our three dimensional world as being a reflection of the greater dimensionless world of spirit. That the rules of spirit are the same as the rules of our physical world.
Well, to a point. But let’s not get all carried away with all this. A reflection is not the thing itself. You can’t shake hands with yourself in the mirror. The reflection only points to a reality greater than itself.
And so we have to be very cautious when we try to apply the rules of — well, let’s call it the spirit world for now, although that word carries a lot of unfortunate hitchhikers with it — to the world we seem to inhabit.
A reflection actually can give us very accurate and very helpful information about our world. Is our hair in place, are we buttoned up straight, and more importantly, is there a car coming up in the next lane that I need to be aware of before I move over?
We’re hinting at very large questions here, way too big to cover in a short blog post. But as you look at the little (8″ x 8″) painting with its clouds that are reflected not quite perfectly, and the grasses and flowers in the foreground — now where did they come from, and what are they reflections of? — let it serve as a reminder of the relationship between the big reality and the reflected planet earth physical human animal reality that is our boots on the ground experience.
No big deal. It’s just fun to ponder big ideas. We don’t have to understand them completely or solve anything.
Yet.

Amazing things, cacti. Where a human would die for lack of water, some living things can thrive and grow to enormous sizes.
Some people flourish in one set of circumstances where others are overwhelmed and drown or wither and shrivel up in a situation that isn’t right for them. Take a beautiful saguaro and put it in a rain forest, and you’re not doing it any favors. Same for a lush tropical fern if you put it in the desert.
Thing is, the cactus, being a plant, doesn’t try to force the fern into its own comfort zone. And the fern is just as happy to let the cactus be a cactus. Kind of a nice way to veg out, if you think about it.
All depends what you’re built for, I guess.
