What Reality do you adhere to? Those taught in educational institutions? Home? Religious affiliation? What is the blend of portions you’ve nestled in to?
What competes with your Reality? News narratives from differing sources? Family? Friends? Inner conflict between your experiences and what you are told to believe?
I ask, because these chaotic times force us to change, thus all the above is very likely part of the shifting sands of reality below your/my/the world’s feet. The rift between Realities is expanding.
We are not on stable ground; all we put our trust in, is no longer viable. We need to know how to surf the waves, how to dance, pivot on a moment’s notice.
Two recent artworks I’ve made, engage imagery from the Series ‘Flight Patterns’; a mix of surreal and physical imagery offers an idea of what to rely upon, within this flux. The message is elucidated with ‘text’, suggesting a deeper narrative of today’s zeitgeist. The initiation word is ‘Trans’, a prefix meaning ‘across, beyond, or on the other side of’. To embrace this concept fully lies at the foundation of navigating the global and personal conditions we find ourselves mired within.

A majestic osprey holds a glowing heart by 2 intertwining threads, one red, the other, blue. The two strands coil and overlap; the intersection points bind the polar filaments, implying an inherent connection between sky and water, claws and heart. Is the osprey catching or dropping? Harvesting or seeding? The 3 ‘Trans’ words and definitions (above and) in the green backdrop, anchor the space between bird in thunderous skies and heart in opaque waters; the connection becomes infused with ever-shifting possibilities, the mutation of all we know to be stable, structured and true.
The ‘Trans’ phenomena have been front and center globally for several decades now, from gender bending to political-economic structures, all demanding our attention. Are we at the climax now? For how long are we within this zone of discombobulation? We can’t know. But to deny or resist, only elongates our suffering, and the inevitable collapse of life as we know it. So, what are we to do in this time of re-defining Reality? Trans-ition?
Align with fisher hawk and rescue your own courageous heart; center there through these dark times. The mind creates dualities; the heart knows oneness. Be a part of Humanity that acts to both seed and harvest all the heart’s wisdom, contributing to the path that finds us thriving on the other side of the collapse.

The precocious ravens’ feet span a space with the tip of a flaming cord, connected to an illuminated heart below. The heart’s glow lights up the verdant, yet indecipherable surroundings. The black-green darkness around the heart, transitions to lighter shades of green-yellow as it uplifts the raven’s wings. In spiritual and mythological traditions, raven is understood to be a psychopomp—a guide to help souls transition between worlds. They are believed to gather wisdom across realms, provide messages of insight during times of change, clarifying their relevance. Their appearance signals a need to embrace the change, trust intuition, and navigate shadow work or grief. The raven seems to be flying towards a city-scape, or smokestacks, lifeless environments resulting from the boons of the industrial age foci. But these skyscraper images are also sonograms of the raven’s calls, crying out the truth of the collapse of social structures. When healed and centered in heart, we can more easily contribute to the building of a new humanity on Gaia. This is a clear calling to transform one’s heart, to release the beliefs of ‘reality’ that obstruct our senses, to surrender to the truth arising from within. All is in a TRANS state; during such a time, possibilities abound for what we can co-create. Focus upon your deep intuitive knowing for direction; that is the ignition for the world we desire. Nothing is created unless it is first dreamed. It is time to reflect deeply within, gather with others of like hearts, affirm what is desired, important, true. Begin dreaming of structures to contain those vital elements of what it means to be an evolved person, a Trans-Human. We are in Trans-Time; shifting Realities are exciting. Let us embrace it.
What I desire in New Earth?
Respect, stewardship of the Earth: let’s begin with cleaning and sacralizing the elements: Earth, Water, Air. No pollution, no waste… community systems that simulate nature’s cycles.
Upgrade in Human consciousness: We connect more telepathically, so motives, methods are transparent, focused upon the benefit of all, including self.
This requires an understanding of the sacredness and interconnection of everything. Inter-Being
It also means individuals take full responsibility for their lives, responses; doing this embarks each on a path of self-reflection and healing.
What tugs at your heartstrings asking for attention? How do you imagine life upon/within new Earth?
