| Red Spiral Life of Light by Azita Gonzalez http://azitagonzalez.com |
| Of Life and Love By Azita Gonzalez If love and life be everlasting, What room is there for fear? For fear be not that of love, But that of death, Which does not exist In a life of love, For it is the love which makes life eternal. It is love that gives life, And love that sustains life, And it is life for life's sake That love is born. ~~~ So be it forever entwined, A life of love, And a love of life. ~~~ And so to live, Let there be love. |
| The Gift of Life by Azita Gonzalez Such is the nature of life That one can lead oneself to refreshing waters, For you are so built that you should know everything you need to survive And everything that you want to know in this world. You are so loved, that life is a gift of experience, A treasure to behold, And a gift to give as well as to receive. To enjoy your life fully, Is the greatest gift you can give to the Creator that has given you life itself. Yet you co-create, So you make what you want of your life… So be it that We are intertwined- Divine Will and the will of man, One may choose what one wants to do with one's life, Yet the Divine plan remains and will be fulfilled. So spake God that you should love each other, So that you may truly know of God in yourselves and in others And live peaceably in this world, For if you are not to love one another, You have denied a part of yourself, And that part being of God- unconditional love. So spake God that you must learn right from wrong, And by being in this existence, You will be given plenty of opportunities to learn this. By doing the “Will of God,” You are creating for yourself a fulfillment of your own Divine plan. For it is in following your heart And the path of love and light, That you shall find happiness in the fulfillment of your soul's plan. And happiness is a choice. Remove yourself from those situations which keep you from happiness, But know you that what you experience, Is based on how you choose to perceive a situation. For everything is in balance. It moves, shifts, and changes, but remains in balance. So spake the Lord that life is a gift, So treasure it.

| Weekly Quote from P'taah "Let us look at this idea of honoring who you are, and that is honoring not only your non-physical but honoring your bodies, honoring this miracle called life, and honoring the ways that you may express love. So one of the ways that you can honor who you are is to look at the beliefs you hold about yourself and your body. We listen to your thoughts and it is extraordinary to us how you all judge your bodies. How your bodies are never enough because they do not conform to what somebody else’s idea of beauty is. In other words, you have all forgotten the miracle that you are. You have all forgotten how exquisite you are in your myriad and unique expressions of physicality." P'taah www.ptaah.com |

| IAHLA (Willow) -Taos 1905 by Kiki Curry www.laughingcrowresort.com |

| This painting was inspired by my reading of the Gospel of Thomas. This is an important point to me because I have never felt the urge to create any sort of religious art before. A figurative abstraction of Christ, the title also pulls in the meaning from Robert Frost’s poem: Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, so dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. Roger Barr |
