That means that Beth and I are traveling at the end of next week to Guatemala! I am very grateful and eager to assist in multiple projects and I will post when I am there to let everyone know about the experience. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/country_profiles/1215758.stm

This photography project has become a kind of spiritual practice for me. I see pools as witnessing and I witness them holding their place while storms rage around them and harsh weather alters the interior place that stays still, constant, a calm, a place of shelter for many creatures, a crib for all of us. They are shallow pools with deep seeing eyes witnessing and holding the suffering for/of the earth.
“And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.”
so that I could swim in the Pamet river and follow the outgoing tide. Now I am watching the moon so that I can know its position over the marsh. The seas are pulled by the moon to create the high tides and in the absence of that pull – the swell of sea does not occur. It is very sexy what happens between the earth and the moon, the moon beckons and the earth responds.
Here is a digital shot I made this morning at high tide. xoxoxo to the earth
I like this quote very much it goes along with the work I am creating.

What a beautiful January! I am hearing owls, seeing fox, and an occasional otter. How beautiful it was to take a walk today and see shadows from the moon. Hard to believe that it is 2012 and we are living in a plutocracy that is invested with a the frothy desire to completely ruin the planet. The prevailing wisdom from all the invested players on the right and left is that somehow we will all adapt. So hard it is to lay down privilege and we all resist the change that is necessary . Some new images to process.
