The Magic of Photography
Photography is magic. Looking back to captured moments through its focused lenses, we are easily transported into the past.
We are drawn into photographs as we relive an event or a take on our everyday lives. Sometimes they evoke emotions in us, feelings that flow shallow or run deep.
When we view photos of ourselves, we become more aware of our ever-changing and continually evolving passage through time.
When we see photos of others, we become more aware of the importance and impact of all our relationships.
A mere glimpse can turn into a deep, reflective gaze, like looking into a crystal ball or scrying mirror at what once was. Even those who have died now stand in our gaze.
There is magic in photography.

The World Between
Come. Let’s cross boundaries…
You have nothing to fear as we go.
Let’s walk through gates of definitions
into a glorious, Global Garden of Beauty-
the realm of Arts and Crafts there.
Let’s explore that vast World Between,
where definitions of Fine Arts and Crafts
are sometimes seen to merge and blend…
Let’s walk where aesthetic artistry
and reverent responses to Beauty
send us beyond simple perceptions.
Here are Crafts inspiring imaginations,
stirring emotions to flow…
Here, they meet with Fine Arts too-
those wondrous creations made through
skills, talents, techniques and tools.
Here, Beauty speaks the same language
understood in feelings we all know.
Come. Let’s cross boundaries…
You have nothing to fear as we go.

What Needs To Be Said
We would be wise to think about these Primitive Beliefs that Humanity continues to express and demonstrate through so many ways as Racial, Religious, Political, Social, Cultural and National ideas and events. We are all co-creating our reality.
Racial, Religious, Political, Social, Cultural, National
Are we a Civilized Species?
Still prevalent Primitive Beliefs of Racial, Religious, Political, Social, Cultural and National ‘Superiority’ and ‘Domination’ have a long, inhumane history of countless sufferings and persecutions, deaths and destructions on this Earth. These Beliefs continue to lead ‘sheeple’ into violence and slaughter.
We must evolve our understandings of God, of Life, of Nature, of ourselves, to create a more highly evolved Planetary Humanity capable of peaceful interactions with any clearly benign and benevolent Beings of Extra-terrestrial and Inter-dimensional origins (the ‘Heavenly Angels’ of ancient texts).
We need only let go of these still prevalent Primitive Beliefs of ‘Superiority’ and ‘Domination’ by simply transforming our ideas about them, as adults do with childhood stories.
Then Unity with Diversity will be truly realized and celebrated on our Planet in wondrous ways.
