The Eskimo Wind Drum, is a circle that has no beginning nor ending, in which we all belong. Only The Great Creator holds the handle, and every time He touches upon the rim, He hears the heart beat of mankind. The stronger the heart beat the healthier mankind is.
This is a powerful heart-prayer from the ancient Eskimo tradition:
‘My hope is that we will all have a strong heart beat
so we can be healthy together
and since it is your heart beat
every time you talk to your heart
she will always speak back.’
The lesson for all of us is to learn how to listen to our hearts.

Snowy owl
I haven’t been around this month due to an emergency stay in the hospital for a chronic heart condition. I was there for a week and had a procedure which unfortunately didn’t work. I’m back home resting and waiting for another procedure on January 31. This one should be successful and will make me feel much better. I’m in good spirits but my activity is very limited for right now. I have been tremendously supported by family and friends for which I am very grateful. One of my friends has my dogs for the duration. They joined her own three dogs (a five dog night) and are reportedly having a good visit. She has been vacuuming them in an attempt to keep the dropping dog hair in check. She said they both like the vacuuming. I will have to give it a try in addition to using the furminator. I miss them terribly but they are being loved by Alice. I couldn’t ask for more. I haven’t been painting but I am drawing a bit. I completed this owl before I went to the hospital. Until then…many blessings, Gretchen

When I notice that my thoughts have usurped authority, I breathe slowly and observe my own hands working. Everything slows down and my universe expands. Peace arriving on delicious wings.

I painted this for a 14 year old Navaho girl. It is for her protection and her power. She sees auras and is very disturbed by this. She is just amazing. Beauty beyond any words. You can see into the soul of the universe when you look at her eyes. She has no idea. I loved her the moment I saw her. My blessings for her well being are woven into the art.
