My Christmas Prayer....

From: Sogyal Rinpoche, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
By the power and the truth of this practice,
may all beings have happiness,
and the causes of happiness.
May all be free from sorrow,
and the causes of sorrow.
May all never be separated
from the sacred happiness which is sorrowless.
And may all live in equanimity,
without too much attachment
and too much aversion,
And live believing
in the equality of all that lives.

May all beings be filled with joy and peace.
May all beings everywhere,
The strong and the weak,
The great and the small,
The mean and the powerful,
The short and the long,
the subtle and the gross:
May all beings everywhere,
Seen and unseen,
Dwelling far off or nearby,
Being or waiting to become:
May all be filled with lasting joy.
Let no one deceive another,

Let no one anywhere despise another,
Let no one out of anger or resentment
Wish suffering on anyone at all.
Just as a mother with her own life
Protects her child, her only child, from harm,
So within yourself let grow
A boundless love for all creatures.

Let your love flow outward
through the universe,
To its height, its depth, its broad extent,
A limitless love, without hatred or enmity.
Then as you stand or walk,
Sit or lie down,
As long as you are awake,
Strive for this with a one-pointed mind;
Your life will bring heaven to earth.

Namaste Tee made with an image of an original painting

This beautiful tee is available at Zazzle. Tee is made with a graphic of an original painting I did in the Spring. Namaste is a Sanskrit word and is often accompanied with a bow. It is used as a greeting, salutation and blessing in India. Some general meanings of Namaste are, "I honor the Spirit in you which is also in me." "I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells, I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Integrity, of Wisdom and of Peace. When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One.""That which is of God in me greets that which is of God in you.""The Divinity within me perceives and adores the Divinity within you." (Wikipedia)

The Love Affair

Up for auction now!  Auction ends Dec. 13th

 Painting inspired by Kahlil Gibran on Marriage (From The Prophet).......and also inspired by the Dogwoods outside my window........"Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together. For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow."

Forgiven ~

This auction ends tonight, up on ebay now.

Stretching my skills of painting anatomy, the figure is based on a sculpture by Edward Hodges Baily, 1842 called Eve Listening to the Voice. The sculpture depicts Eve listenting to the voice of the serpent.

The painting is titled Forgiven.
