ghost bear

watercolor 2/2020

In a moss-draped rain forest in British Columbia, towering red cedars live a thousand years, and black bears are born with white fur. All true. Prevailing thought is that the white fur is a result of a genetic glitch, but the myths of the original peoples are much more interesting. What I tune into is that they are benevolent spirits. I would love to catch sight of one of these special bears. The bears are few in number and live almost exclusively on the islands of British Columbia.

sister to the seventh moon

watercolor 2/2020

‘She lost herself in the trees among the ever-changing leaves. She wept beneath the wild sky as stars told stories of ancient times. The flowers grew towards her light, the river called her name at night. She could not live an ordinary life with the mysteries of the universe hidden in her eyes.’

O’ Great Spirit

help me always

to speak the truth quietly,

and to remember the peace

that may be found in silence.
