The Sacred Geometry River

The Sacred Geometry River

If I were to ask you what is sacred, what would you say?

I can finally stand and say one thing that I know for certain, without a doubt. 

When you teach a child, you are forever changing the world. 

I had to go back into teaching swimming at the YMCA to realize just how incredible the role of teaching is. The family is connected to you, woven into you through their desire for their child to be happy. You and the parents want the same, you desire for the child to thrive and flourish!

We are complicated, a kaleidoscope of emotions, ideas and desires. We are all connected here, by magical words that flow and float. The river washes away the old, the joy of learning and growing is what the seed of life is about. 

That organic leaf shape, is the vesicle piscis, it is also called the fish bladder. I can’t help but grin at how the lesson over lay and swirl and whirl around me.

I am creating art work that I will offer as a reward for supporting my future kick- starter project. The first project will be a book.  I hope you all keep me in mind for the future.

My life project will be creating an ART school and healing center in Ireland. YES!! I have said it. I have planted the seed of the future here, with you. There will be a place for you to make art-- and stay. A place you can learn Reiki and learn to heal yourself. Ireland is a magical place, perfect for a healing arts center!

I look forward to 2016!!! May we all soar and shine!! Let us leave the negative behind. Let us find the connections that fling us into the sun!!

Wooohoooooooo!!! Much love an light!!

San Francisco Gathering

Having my daughter and son visit for Christmas was astounding. I had forgotten how they bounce off of one another, the positive energies ricocheting like old fashioned rubber balls. I was young with them here, laughing and singing and letting their love and light carry me along their bouncing bubbles of euphoric electricity.

The image of my son laughing, is when he decided to grab me and tell me to get closer. It was a spontaneous magical moment, it practically brings tears to my eyes…and I am so glad Margaret captured that special “Kodak” moment. We should all have Luvs, who grab us and pull us into them! Thank you David for that incredible unforgettable moment!

Star Wars was day one. I am vocal at the theater. If you hate going to a movie with someone who claps at great scenes, then please do not come with me. I clapped and yelled and wooooohooooo-ed at the great scenes. I loved every minute! The walk through the Stockton tunnel, was fabulous too! My daughter loves singing with me in that tunnel. If you hear crazy singing, it might just be me.

Christmas was fabulous! The books, the presents, ooooooooh the bracelet is stunning! (waving at Anita) and the shawl is perfect!!! (waving at Paddy)! Thank you Loves! 

THEN ICE SKATING!!! Wooohoooooo! I am young at heart! I am 30 years old in my body, I demand much from myself. However, it has been 30 years since I have ice skated. Truthfully, I had forgotten how hard the ice is…It hurts to fall. However, no bones broken. Just a few bruises. David was my hero!! THANK you Dave for letting me hold on to you! (grinning) Sorry for making you fall. I am still laughing at the event!! Great fun! It was lovely seeing you and Margaret glide around the ice rink! LOVED it!!

Next day the ballet, the Nutcracker! If you have never ever seen a ballet, go to that one. The set designs were cleverly done! I was in awe! I want to design and build and create art for the theater! Just wow!  There is something magical about dancers, the way they lift and leap and make me feel as if I too can leap and soar. Dance is an incredible art, it requires MUCH from the artist…makes me feel like I too can become more.

After the play we went out for drinks. Margaret is of drinking age now. It was our first family visit to a bar. David, Margaret and I went to a place that a friend recommended…the drinks were yum-m-m-m-m-y! The special “Chinese whiskey” was fabulous!

The next day, we went to breakfast at my favorite bakery in San Francisco! The Victorian Pastry Bakery, oh my Lord! We all got something different, cannoli, strawberry short cake and chocolate eclair. We all took bites and our eyes rolled up into our head in deeeeeeelight! 

We skipped over to the “City Lights” book store and spent hours perusing the lovely books. What a glorious bookstore! IF you love the old fashioned page turning book…then do yourself a favor and visit!

Then the pinnacle event, was eating at Mongolian Hot Pot. What fun!! They set a big pot of boiling broth right at the table and enjoy the experience of putting together the soup. You can decide on the type of broth you want to cook your food in, and then decide upon the ingredients that go into your lunch! We ate way too much and drank saki laughed and laughed! The scrumptious bubbly broth was amazing.

We drank lots of champagne — we became those euphoric  bubbles…soaring upward and making one another laugh with love. A great holiday! One for the record books!

2016 is going to ROCK and ROLL!

Red Cape

Original art by Judith Parsons 2015

I walk into the coliseum of my mind. The thinking men cheer when I walk in! Two men stand holding the red velvet cape and drape it over my shoulders. They take my arms and walk beside me to a table that is 50 feet in length.There are 25 candles lit, with glass hurricane lanterns to protect them from the night wind.

Every one stands up and starts clapping, Everyone of you is draped with your red velvet cape of royalty! We are all Kings and Queens here, in this space and place in my minds eye. we are ALL equal. The thinking men are also draped in their red velvet capes. Everyone is dressed to the nines. Tuxedoes and elegant gowns. Sparkling diamonds and studded cuff links are reflecting the candle light. The silverware and china reflect the gorgeous flickering candles.

You are beautiful, when you smile. I can see you. Yes, you. I wink and grin, and we both nod. Thank you for loving this place Dear. Thank you for asking that I come back here. I have missed the thinking men of the coliseum.

I see all of you! Thank you for being here in my minds coliseum. My beloved sisters and brothers of Love! I see my best tree climbing friend and her family, all my church choir friends, my high school friends, the women who run with the wolves friends, my long time military connected friends, artist friends, the welding and blacksmith friends, the glass artist friends, the mold making friends…and my new Facebook loves!

What a glorious gathering in my minds eye. I raise my champagne flute and salute you all! You have worked hard on becoming your best self. You have persisted and kept working at becoming your highest self. It is a work in progress…it is. There is nothing that comes easy, without much hard and diligent work. I respect you, because you work hard.

SO tonight we play hard! We strike up band…we dance and swirl and we laugh. 

I adore you sweet friends! The thinking men adore you too! (grinning) 2016 is going to rock!! We are all connected in Love and Light!

Wooohoooooooo!!! Soaring…singing…sashaying…smiling and shining beside you all!!

Woman

What a fun filled day yesterday! I was in the pool with little young beginner swimmers that went from not wanting to put their face in the water—to them wanting to sit upon the bottom of the pool. Then I headed to my favorite artist, tool God and played with metal.

WhewWeeeee….

Grinning!

I started with the design you see…It started with a simple “wo-man” concept. The center of the o was the bullseye. The center for rotation. The “W” spins around the “O” creating and joining the two different words. Making them one.

Megan Larman got married yesterday. I have seen photographs and imagine it was a magical memory making day. Two young loves joined. I remember years ago, the young lovers beside the bon fire. It is nice to see them becoming one, together. Man and woman love enough to make the commitment of marriage. Congratulations sweet young Loves! May you talk! Talk! TALK! May you always spew out your pains to one another so the vulnerabilities stay between you both.

The lines between man and woman have blurred over the years.The ideas and roles of who stays home with the children and who leaves the house is an interesting shifting scenario. What we were 10 years ago we are no longer.

The graphic image tries to become steps, but these steps aren’t rigid. They are skewed and warped and weaving and waving and flowing into themselves. The man and woman flowing as we all cross borders wanting the same glorious love.

Enjoy the flow today. Play the music. GO find a friend to play in the garage with, to bend metal and hammer out art with. Or just play music and dance!!! Enjoy!!!

Wooooohooooo!!! Life really is grand!!

Happy Lunar New Year! Merry Christmas! Much Love!

The calling child.

The illustration is one line drawn to create a path of curves to suggest the mother holding a baby. I am a mother, it is a role that brings out the mother lioness in me. It is a sacred energy that drives me beyond my mundane other self.

She, the mother in me.

Holds her self to a higher standard. The regular me is left in the dust where my children, are concerned.

The mother in me, is a giant. “She” is when I become the highest self that I am always searching for. “She/me” are like old friends laughing and hugging because I am home when I am a mom.

It is a reunion with my best self. In 4 days my children will be with me. The room is small, the accommodations not anything they are used to. It will be sort of like camping out, with out the woods. 

I have stood watching my daughter walk to catch her plane. I have screamed through the airport, at the top of my lungs:  “I love you-u-u-u-u-u-!” And she has screamed back:”I love you to-o-o-o-o-o-o!” It is a ache that family shares. The love of our little ones, is what makes life extra special. They do not necessarily have to be born from us. We become their care takers, we become their back up plan, we become love.

I am preparing my wee nest for the visit. I am sure it will be one we never ever forget. Life is about that special connect, with a young one that looks up to you. May your holiday season connect you to a very special wee one.

May their laughter become yours. (hugging you tight) 

Not Complicated

Illustration by Judith Parsons 2015

Dance lessons, new software, facing new fears…The energy of new things takes time to settle.

Life is about facing your fears. Letting someone show you how to dance, letting them guide you through a new process of movement. Living full-on means facing your fears. 

I have a new contact I want to make and I am striding in my minds eye back and forth like the caged lion, wondering about it…

Wondering about her. I will let the energy settle and know that when the time is right, when I have the amount of time to give to her…then I will do so.

There is no panic in life. There is plenty of loving light and energy to spread over all of us, to calm us like a warm blanket out of the dryer. I am smiling now, as I see the lion sitting with a blanket draped around his body…his eyes heavy and about to snuggle into his warm blanket of love.

(grinning)

This morning my adobe software codes all needed to be updated. Two years ago I remember being in a panic and ricocheting off the walls because I had to go through a sequence of events to redeem my subscription. Oh Lordy mercy, I was a mess, I was scared that I wouldn’t have my beloved photoshop, illustrator and after effects to create in.

This year, I knew what the issue was. I knew who to call, how to handle and solve the equation that was blocking my use of Adobe products. I called the help desk, went through the sequence and created the art you are seeing now.

I am happy to report that I am more centered and grounded, after have 2 years at graduate school. There is a ebb and flow now, a easy “knowing” that eventually I will solve the problem that arises. I don’t fall off the deep end anymore.

So dance with your fears…Imagine the lion with blanket draped over his shoulders, standing up on his hind legs, his front paws on your shoulder…I am laughing at the image. It is all good, all God. We are all one…loving and living in the purest light.

Calm, grounded and settled.

Wooohoooooooooo!!! Life is amazing!! Love you all!
