Winter Weather and ART! 18 mon
Cold Winter Weather has not stopped me from making more ART!
Pages from Art Books by LFIRE (c)2023
We had snow three weeks ago in April! It’s a very rare thing; we’ve only had snow two to three times in the eight years I’ve lived here in Northern California. Although it’s pretty, I’m much happier not having heavy snow every winter like in some parts of the country! And it’s cold, very very cold, way too cold!
We had so much rain this winter that there was flooding in the nearby town of Red Bluff and the city of Redding. I live on top of a hill and so was lucky not to have flooding. Some places near me are still flooded. There i ... read more Moving into Aquarius, the New Age 20 mon
Having a very difficult time with my ability to speak and think clearly. Still, I remain interested in the esoteric and astrological events taking place in our world. Below is a summary of current astrological events.
”On Thursday, March 23, 2023, after 14 years in Capricorn (ruled by Saturn), Pluto the planet of transformation...left the 10th sign of the Zodiac (Capricorn) and entered the 11th, that of Aquarius (ruled by Uranus). Never again in this lifetime will we as the present humanity experience so many years of Pluto in Capricorn. Why? Because it takes Pluto 14 to 19 years to move through a sign (constellation). It takes 248 Earth years for Pluto to complete one orbit around the Sun.
For the past 14 years, since January 27, 2008, Pluto and Saturn (fiscal, material transformations, corrup ... read more Happy New Year 2023! 21 mon

The use of Flower Essences may be an alternative method to healing
Back in 1980, I was doing lots of work learning new metaphysical healing techniques.
One of the things I was learning was the use of flower essences;
I was not that impressed with flower essences at the time.
I didn’t think about it again for many years.
....And then, just very recently, flower essences showed up again!
Suddenly I am really impressed with the use of flower essences for healing.
So I ordered a book on all of the different flower essences
--a full repertoire of them.
I am really impressed by the book and the information it provides.
I also asked someone in the Flo ... read more Art & New Universes 25 mon

I was invited to enter a special art show

The title of the show is ”The Last Chance Saloon.”

Well it was only the 1st of September,
and there was already a problem.
I was busy eating some biscuits and jam
when I felt something strange in my mouth.
On examination I found that it was my upper denture.

I didn’t know it could break!
NOW WHAT?
I was depressed.

Assemblage by LFIRE(c)2022
I recently read of an ancient people (older than 12,000 years ago)
Their creation story told about how the earth was formed;
after light/dark and the earth then all other things were formed.
Then amazingly the next to be created was
the HUMMINGBIRD
Now Eons later hummingbirds are coming by the bird feeder
and we enjoy their flight.

There were MORE FIRES!!!!!!!!!!
There were already some small patches of fire,
but the winds fanned the small fires and
there were big ones across the street.
It took several days to put it out.
Relax (haha).
Then another one;
this one was behind us
and lasted only a couple of days.

Then there was a big flood under the house.
It turns out that squirrels and raccoons ate the PVC

”FEATHERS” Assemblage by LFIRE (c)2022 12” X 15
Spent time doing nothing.
Thinking about the non-profit and real estate issues.
I was so sure that Spirit was telling me to do it.
But upon reflection, I now understand that I jumped the gun and
my ego got the better of me. I really thought Spirit was talking.
After I realized that Spirit was saying.... ”that was then and this is now”
Really!
I beat myself up about this for awhile.
Said to myself...”just get over it”

I really had not thought about this idea at all ... read more Solar and Lunar Cycles 3 y

Abstract Art by LFIRE(c)2021
In my last blog I talked about having a vision of making marks on paper...it seemed very exciting.
So later I found a series of panels that were 9 inches by 12 inches,
and I put the panels together to make a large abstract collage.
The art posted above was the result.
It is called WILD ABANDON.
I got carried away with the process and ended up with several more that are called
The WILD ABANDON SERIES.
Those results are at the bottom of this blog.

The ridges are about 4 inches high
After letting this message whirl around inside of me for awhile,
I received some clarification on what "in-between lives" are
and what "certain circumstances" consist of.
The new divination method that has been revealing itself to me
IS TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES IN THE 3-D,
AND JUST AS IMPORTANTLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN-BETWEEN LIVES.
The "in between lives" seems to help those who have just left the 3D life

Turning inward, discovering new ideas and insights.
We all waited in anticipation for the Mayan calendar ending in December of 2012. But we were disappointed as it ended, not with a bang, but a whimper. True, random things happened, and (some) changes were made. But not the message change we were expecting... Now we have another big ending....the AZTEC calendar of something like 26,000 years ended on May 26. On top of that, this is a YEAR of MERCURY conjunctions!

The 3-D world, art, tarot, and the
What an interesting time.
It seems that I now I am doing guidance for the 3D world
as well as specific people.
The 3D world has been a strange thing that I seem to check in to see what is going on.
It is amazing how little I think about it.
I am surprised at how many people are in fear.
I’m especially surprised at ”spiritual” people talking about being in fear.
I’ve been spending a lot of time doing spiritual work for
a special person/situation, someone near and dear to my heart.
I started the tarot class; it has been interesting.
In doing art for the tarot class, I’ve bough ... read more Poetry and Insights 3 y

Rainbows
Rainbows of gold,
the serpent climbs inside the chaos
striving endlessly,
no end in sight.
Banners flying,
tarnished images
eroded in the murky waters,
possibilities are seemingly
stuck in the mud.
Again
what is new?
Instead, everything keeps repeating
over and over in every age.
The loudspeaker drones on...
Seasons slip by.
How many is unknown.
No count of years,
no count of lives.
Yet,
somewhere the rainbow
shines through the clouds

I’m still having a difficult time

but I’d rather talk about more interesting things.
I’ve been doing a lot of collage art
although I’ve been wanting to do a bunch of assemblages
but my son has not been feeling well
and has not gotten the art panels that I work with.
Feeling frustrated.
After looking at various artists on You Tube
I ended up with about four pages of sketches of ideas that I got.

Here it is...we made it through this crazy year!
Going through it, it seemed to last forever,
but looking back it flew by.
Personally, I did an immense amount of art.
With the art galleries closed, the thrift stores closed,
and no one having yard sales,
the art I produced just sat around collecting dust.
The first thrift shop that opened again got a big donation
of over 16 of my assemblages and a ... read more Art: Assemblage and Collage 4 y

This is a limb from an oak tree that is covered with lichen.

The end of the year is approaching and I am busy filling my sketchbook with ideas for a lot more art work.
I’m also working on projects for the California Arts Council grant I received this year.
For the grant, I committed to showing my art at local galleries;
although some of the galleries recently re-opened following lockdown,
they have just closed again.
I wanted to print a book of my 2020 poems along wit ... read more New Art for Gallery Opening! 4 y

On wood backing, collage background, heavy woven jute*,
with dried Cholla cactus featured.
This month has been stressful.
The well is still sitting without water;
we also had a couple of weeks with intermittent electricity
due to very high winds.
Then my son had back procedures which
laid him up for about 3 weeks.
On top of all that the local art gallery decided to
open for ART WALK the first week of November;
naturally I had nothing ready.
My son makes my frames and does all the fabrications.

Here is another collage from my HUGE book of (more or less) 100 collages
I can’t believe how depressed I have been.
During all the mess this year,
I have been able to maintain a positive attitude.
But now I have been really depressed.
Don’t want to go anywhere, or do anything.
Don’t feel like talking to anyone.
BLAH!
Then, as I was working my studies that
I have been doing for over a year,
I found more and more that interested me.
I became excited about what I was reading,
and I began to feel better.

I’m not sure what I want to do with it.
I really would like to trade it in exchange for website work.
I’m happy to see four (two pairs) of red headed woodpeckers out in the yard...
I was amazed to see them. I didn’t know that there were any red headed
woodpeckers here in California, as I’d never seen any before this.

This is a story about the 3D earth and this universe (short version).
First of all, there are ”endless” universes!
No one talks about this!
Maybe there are some hints around but all our great thinkers,
all the great spiritual leaders...don’t talk about this!
