Cynicism or Prayer - Living Out Of The Box

Rainbow Frog
I just saw the new movie Heaven is Real. It is a true story about a 4 year old boy who  visited heaven while he was on the operating table. He did not technically die according to the medical staff  but  he did remember many amazing and "unbelievable"things about his celestial journey.

Expect the Unexpected- Living Out Of The Box

Lynx Tree fairy

My friend, Natalie, and I  were walking through a beautiful local county park today and we happened to see  a pile of just cut logs from two big trees.  I truly believe that every tree is a live sentient being and houses fairies.
 I was so pleased to see several  beautiful images on the cut wood. The lynx tree fairy is one of the images. The fairies were quickly disappearing and I am glad that I was able to photograph some of them. What do you see in the wood's surface?

Meeting your Dark Side-Living Out Of The Box

Frogness
We hate to say the truth about our failures. We like to pretend that we have always met with success and happiness. I don't believe that is true. True happiness seems to come out of finding our way out of darkness.

Finding Our Intuition Through Art and Other Creative Things- Living Out Of The Box

"When we grow older and can no longer summon our parents by crying, we have to learn to find the inner resource with which we can love ourselves unconditionally. This inner resources comes to us through intuition". This is a direct quote from  Giora Carmi's book "Opening Intuitive Flow Through Artwork".

Are You Lazy or Just Being Creative?-Living Out Of The Box

Frog Reveries
When was the last time that you took a nap? Or the last time that you simply looked up at the clouds to see what shapes you could find ? Or the last time that you simply sat down to look at the birds at your bird feeder? I would  guess that if you did any of these things recently, you felt incredibly guilty about them.
