Myself Today & Olivier

mixed medium on hardboard

204cm x 165cm

love love Oliviers newest creation

books i read

quietly and sympathetic a mum of a baby and three other kids kids (the eldest 14) tells her facinating story of the 2 years in 1981 she lived with her new husband in the remote highlands of Papua New Guinea.

it's a trip to say the very least; so transporting, the reader feels damp from the mists and the never ending rain.

an amazing insight into a time and place.

i couldn't put it down

success

'grasshoppers empower us to move forward'

says Scott Alexander King in his marvellous magical book Animal Dreaming

'they inspire us to take giant leaps of faith when it comes to our progression and personal growth'

helping us to

'find the inner strength to realise levels of sucess never before thought possible'

Yay! i love that

Scott Alexander goes on to tell us that

'in Aboriginal mythology, Grasshopper Dreaming charges us with emotional strength and energy to get any job done'

sucess on 'the new earth' is about acknowledging your good-making gifts and bringing them forward, contributing your bit to the immense tapestry being woven called life

Go grasshopper!

"Body follows where consciousness goes."

it has been said we are spiritual beings having a physical experience and that we are homo sapien evolving into homo noeticus

consciousness researcher John White says

'the form of human being we are becoming is a primate of a very different order than the human as we know it today'

He calls it Homo noeticus—the next step in human evolution. Homo noeticus is the term used to describe a multi sensed being with a guiding divine consciousness. a human who intrinsically understands that their actions effect the world around them; thinking holistically rather than in a self-centred way. John states

"Body follows where consciousness goes."

five million years ago our progenitors stood upright in the center of the African plain. Neanderthal came along three hundred thousand years ago; Cro-Magnon, thirty-five to forty thousand years ago; And Homo sapiens sapiens, modern man, ten thousand years ago. what's next?

i believe we are changing, i see the transformation happening before my very eyes. join me on this journey. it sounds way cooler and so much more fun than the world as we know it.

how green is your thumb?

tending to a garden is like self cultivation

plants respond to patience and care
you must be mindful of weeds especialy noxious ones and deadwood needs pruning to allow new growth
many plants are symbiotic like nasturtiums and tomatoes
and all need water
i've never met an ugly plant, each has their individual thing going on

my favourite garden is wild loved

a rare find

this beauty sits at the end of Loftus street down near Circular Quay. the plaque says something about commemorating the first fleet something-something, which i didn't finish reading cause all that early settler thing makes me sad and angry

for me 'intwine' (i've renamed it) symbolizes boldly though delicately, a balance of all that is. and like all good art, it inspires a reaction. looking at it makes me feel harmonious. its sensuous form asks to be touched. this sculpture is about Love, right?

books i read - purchased from Potts Point Sunday market

deceptive and hip - chick-lit not!

in Girls Of Riyadh, Rajaa Alsanea effortlessly expresses the life and times of young women in modern day upper middle class Saudi Arabia

profound and subversive
