Almost two months ago, a small and almost emaciated kitty came hunting for food in our garden. Skiddish and cautious, she wouldn’t let anyone come near her. We started to feed her and quickly realized that she was carrying some of the food away to feed her offspring. Only one of her kittens was left as we learned from a neighbor who had observed her habitat in a nearby shed.

The rest is history! Mommacat soon brought her little one over to

Quantum physics is described as the “science of possibilities”. We are learning about particles fluctuating in and out of existence, about our “stuff” that is not as solid as it seems, about bits of matter being in two places at one time. Does any of this make sense or do you feel like your head is exploding? Heisenberg himself, the co-discoverer of quantum physics, said that atoms are not things; they are only tendencies. We choose moment by moment to bring our actual experience into manifestation as the world around us is constantly changing. Even if we don’t yet grasp what Quantum Mechanics is currently offering, it is obvious that consciousness is at the core of all of this. Most of all, our choices and the endless possibilities that exist and create our experience may be all we need to examine (for now).

A great amount of human suffering is created but our limited recognition of possibilities and thus our choices. We get “stuck” in unpleasant jobs, relationships, habits and perspectives, often disregarding the alternatives that the infinite number of possibilities holds. As a matter of fact,

Really good.  :-)

This painting started out with a solid surface… the wooden bottom of a serving tray whose handles were falling off. No need to buy canvas when the world’s full of stuff to be painted on! :-) Then I proceeded with a coat of solid gray/tannish paint I had left over from painting my studio walls. Before that dried I started to paint the flames - fun! The texture was worked in gradually, lots of granular medium (the stuff you buy in art stores to stretch your paint and/or achieve specific texture or surface), sand and saw dust. This is one of those things you just have to experiment with, no right or wrong way to do it. The dancer started out as a vision… then I found the perfect picture in a magazine for reference. Well, reference is great… but my sense of proportion of the human body is pretty much way warped so I decided to plunk my reference straight onto the ‘canvas’ and painted over it. Beats tracing onto already bumpy background! If you do this, make sure to paint heavily, make it your own, so that the outcome doesn’t resemble the original too much, otherwise please give credit to the photographer. :-))
