Happy Beltaine

The ancient festival of Beltaine is celebrated around May 1st. 

It's a time to celebrate the earth in bloom, fire, abundance, fertility

and all the bounty of natures beauty. Artist Kathy Klein captures the

spirit of Beltaine so beautifully with her Danmala flower works,

 I couldn't resist sharing! Mandalas are so breathtaking beautiful, 

especially when there made of flowers! Can't wait to create one of my own.

 Happy May celebrations lovelies!

Happy Earth Day 2012

As we are all bound to this lovely planet of ours, 

why not take a day to celebrate every inch of Gaia's glory!
Happy earth day everyone! 

As part of my deep appreciation for our beautiful planet, 
I'm creating a gaia color palette for inspiration 
and a resource for designers of natures wonderment. 
Gaia palettes will be released bi weekly, and taken from my 
photography of the details of the natural world.
 Hope it brings joy & wonder to you all!

Moon Madness

Intensity is in the air, with solar storms and moon energies I am reminded

of this day one year ago traveling india. The crazy festival of color

"Holi" what an amazing way to celebrate the arrival of spring!
Wishing everyone an energizing and wonderful 

full moon and a happy holi!

Liberating Light

The presence of spring slowly emerges. 

Our time patiently awaiting the suns return is coming to an end.

Nature peeks out after a dark winter in small pops of color. In the prolonged evening sunlight, 

I notice small buds on trees and my sage plant sprouting small purple flowers. 

With the glowing essence of this magical time of renewal just around the corner, 

I'm reminded of the light and space works of artists James Turrell. 

His latest ongoing work "Roden Crater" in the Arizona desert has me totally mesmerized, 

as does the below video of his piece at Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg museum, in Germany.

 I hope to one day I get to wonder out to the desert to experience it for myself.

In homage to the shinning light, 

enjoy, Xx SR▲

An Imbolc Rest

 
  

Wisdom of early spring time, shows us the essence of being patient. The power of doing 

things at the right time is an art nature perfected. As spring awakens, plants come out of

deep sleep at their own time. We too setting our hectic schedules aside patiently await

the warmth, learning wise lessons along the way. The beautiful work of photographer 

Emma Kidiel to me captures this feeling of of early spring & its lessons.  

In celebration of the celtic holiday of Imbolc, have a restful early spring lovelies!

through our eyes the universe is perceiving itself

and through our ears the universe is listening to its cosmic harmonys

we are the witness to which the universe becomes conscious of its magnificence

growing into myself moment by moment, I turn a year older tomorrow.

 thank you universe and all in it for letting me spread my love!
