Spirit

“When the student is ready, the teacher appears”.
A man came into my life – unexpectedly (isn’t that how how all great people show up?) and he shared with me his wisdom, thoughts, questions and insights. I asked if I could post them for you on the web. He asked to be known as The Seeker, since it is not for personal gain, but his hope others will be changed by his insights. May his thoughts and ideas assist you on this precious journey: your life.

“I wish I could fly, too…”

on butterflies…

I envy them their god’s-eye view of our world, above and free…When I was a little kid the warm, golden sun would wake me up. It seemed such a divine, cozy, happy light.

When I do my art work I feel in touch with this warmth and joy. the form and color of everything is a delight…faces, mountains, seashore, sunrises…there is no end to the work of the Divine Artist.

I like the swirling of color when blowing glass, the soft, rich color of cloth, the structural freedom of my welded sculpture, giving slide shows on beauty and art…I enjoy this endless immersion in creativity. It is very peaceful…
