 | " Four Directions"
The four races of humanity are represented in this painting. Ancient
spiritual traditions are being transmitted to the present from the
past.
This male aspect renews the link to the world of the ancestors through
dancing, masks, and traditional ceremony. The legacy lives on with our
world indigenous community who pray for the environment, community,
and world. Ritual reminds us that all our ancient cultural rites could
unify us
to the natural world, and lead us to a more balanced future.

| " Clans of Time"
The Mothers of the four races bring life to the generations and gifts
from
their spirit. They nurture and guide. teach and love. Through the
Mothers,
life continues; without them children would be lost. The contributions
of our own Mothers cannot be measured. So, to them, all the
generations
before, as well as the ones to come; we give thanks...Investing and Money - I've recently started investing. Below

| " Feathers"
The Amazon River and Rain forest once housed many cultures that are
now
assimilated or destroyed. Few of the native peoples struggle to
survive
with their timeless traditions intact. As they are non-material
cultures,
they don't produce goods, but live instead with great accumulations of
debris. They look to a dualistic balance. The birds are relations, the
feathers sacred, as are the colors and species significant. Each crown
of
power is worn by shamans as wings of ancestral authority. The Kumus,
of
Brazil are no ordinary medicine person, but a healer whose primary
function
is to pray for the healing of this world. They are among those persons
so
gifted to transcend into the dimension of the spirit, and reach beyond
physical death to influence and guide. A message of great simplicity
is
communicated: "Consider the birds, trees, water, animals as decisions
are
made affecting our environmental future..." |
