Why i paint deserts...

'Alone in the silence, I understand for a moment the dread which many feel in the presence of primeval desert, the unconscious fear which compels them to tame, alter or destroy what they cannot understand, to reduce the wild and prehuman to human dimensions. Anything rather than confront directly the antehuman, that OTHER WORLD which frightens not through danger or hostility but in something far worse - its implacable indifference.'

Edward Abbey (1927 - 1989)



[Ed Note: i am a great fan of web-bot - the incredible search engine that sends out baby 'spiders' to filtrate on-line 'twitter' from several million areas (maybe billions i don't know the exact figures) and then they report to Spider Grandmother who forecasts the future by condensation of the essential ingredients i.e. 9-11, New Orleans, The Crash and then the incredible scene in four years time when people grow and nurture their own food for 80% of their day. 

This feed to a Native American author, familiar with the Hopi Way, explains it all better than me: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6317554377562185425#] 

wiki is also informative: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopi_mythology#The_Sacred_Hopi_Stones

- as is this blogspot: http://tierra-y-vida.blogspot.com/2006/08/statement-of-keeper-of-hopi-fire-clan_22.html 

and this feed: http://www.viewzone.com/thomasomills.html

There are many ways out of this - let's get smart and transcend as God intends for all of us.

I have tried to paint Window Rock several times and failed miserably - so i can only gift this detail from one of my paintings. Instead i wrote a poem called:

TUMBLEWEED

Tumbleweed, tumbleweed -
Nomadic North American son;
Rambling seed of desert creed;
Watching it be… all be, done.

Rolling down Gila River;
Watching Mama and Papago;
Flying in cup and saucer;
That came long time ago.
It came to deliver
Good old folks from Casa Grande;
Baptism in the Goldwater craters;
Far more than they planned.

Tumbleweed, tumbleweed -
Rented truck in Tucson;
Going to see cactus; 
Organ pipes play;
To hear saguaro sing along;
Mourning with Cochise
On some desolate reservation -
From the three Mesa of the Hopi
To the Apache Nation.

Tumbleweed, tumbleweed -
Call wind
To come the other way;
Roll time backwards;
Taiowa hold the reins;
Geronimo make the sway.

Tumbleweed, tumbleweed -
Cross another plain;
South wind pushes north;
Time paints a desert; 
Where fountain issues forth.

Tumbleweed, tumbleweed -
Don't tell me life's a bitch;
May as well call canyon Grand;
And shove us in that ditch.

Tumbleweed, tumbleweed -
Time will come I'm sure;
Window Rock will open;
And dreams rush through the door;
Where Catcher Man 'ill catch 'em
As he did before.

Tumbleweed, pure blood, full breed -
Keep on roamin'
Keep on ramblin'
Tumbleweed.

Road never endin'
Tumbleweed
Tumbling, turning, rolling, tumbling, stalling, rolling...
Tumbleweed.

Inanga, Desert Poems, 2000

I wrote this poem in Houston Creek Over 50s RV Park near Payson, Arizona. That crazy time is described in Book I of the North Star Road trilogy 'The Circlestone'. That was the free plug. Now one for the Tohono o'Odham, the people of the original finger alphabet. After you read this follow the feed. Unfortunately their name is spelt wrong. You will see 'Hohokam, meaning 'those who have gone'. Rubbish, they are running all round the place with Elvis in some shopping mall 90 degrees arse about face to us and in another dimensional shift - probably 5-D. They are there all right - just sneak into one of their deserts uninvited on a late afternoon in the Superstitions.

The feed is for Casa Grande National Monument, one of the most beautiful places on Earth i have ever been allowed to deposit pounamu (greenstone). www.nps.gov/cagr. For Window Rock www.roamingphotos.com/us/az/windowrock/ (where i was not allowed to leave pounamu). Add a caption in Roaming Photo's gallery and learn about the brave Navajo Codetalkers. This security feed has plenty on the activities of the Barry Goldwater Range: www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/goldwater.htm

The list of things we can blow ourselves up with in the last feed is bewildering... but wristwatch computers, now that's another thing! They are not likely to offer me a job - i couldn't solve the bouncing ball puzzle at the start!

JOSHUA 24

'2 Joshua said to all the people, This is what the LORD, the god of Israel, has to say:

Long ago your ancestors lived on the other side of the Euphrates River and worshipped other gods. One of those ancestors was Terah, the father of Abraham and Nehor.

25 So Joshua made a covenant for the people that day, and here at Shechem he gave them laws and rules to follow.

26 Joshua wrote those commands in the book of the law of God. Then he took a large stone and set it up under the oak tree in the LORD'S sanctuary.

27 He said to all the people 'The stone will be our witness. It has heard all the words the LORD has spoken to us. So it will be a witness against you, to keep you rebelling against your God.'

28 Then Joshua sent the people away, and everyone returned to his own part of the land.'

'Life is a paradise, and we are all in paradise, but we refuse to see it. If we would, we should have heaven on earth the next day.'

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, 'The Brothers Karamazov'

'LOGIC 23 Postulate - the human mind and inventions of the human mind are capable of resolving any and all problems which can be sensed, measured or experienced directly or indirectly.

Corollary - the human mind is capable of resolving the problem of the human mind. The borderline of solution of this science lies between WHY life is surviving and HOW life is surviving. It is possible to resolve HOW life is surviving without resolving WHY life is surviving.

LOGIC 24: The resolution of the philosophical, scientific and human studies (such as economics, politics, sociology, medicine, criminology, etc) depends primarily [up-on] the resolution of the problems of the human mind.'

Thoughts of L Ron Hubbard

First things first, i am not a Scientologist. All paths to God are worthwhile, and the Wisdom of this path helped me find mine. Some of my most treasured precepts come from the considered words of L Ron Hubbard, and he had a great part in my learning to understand the concept of individuation. I have only one comment to make - the video feeds in the Scientology site are slow loading. i particularly enjoyed this: http://scientology.org/#/videos/love-and-hate-what-is-greatness. And thanx to Tom Cruise for using the backdrop of our beautiful Mount Taranaki (aka Egmont) in 'The Last Samurai'. Great movie and some of the best battle scenes i have ever witnessed.
