									A Hopi Butterfly Dancer is a symbol
of Beauty and Transformation
Countered with a rock formation on Second Mesa
in the Lands of the Hopi People.
The Traditional Hopi have the oldest complete ceremonial cycle on this continent.
they continue to celebrate
the Gift of Life and all its Blessings
Through an annual cycle of ceremonies.
A time set aside to send prayers of thanksgiving
through traditional songs, the Drum and dancing feet
send messages to the Heart of Mother Earth.

					<description><![CDATA[Pinnawala, Sri Lanka

The Elephant is known as the Sri Lankan Tractor. I visited the Elephant Orphanage near Kandy.
The Highlight of their day is the bath in the Kelani River They stick the tip of their trunks
out of the water, take a breath, then flop it back down, and continue with their snooze.

from the unbelievable chaos of the Tsunami Disaster
comes an incredible tale...

At a resort on Phuket, Thailand
one of the most popular attractions
is (was) the elephant rides.
As many as eight people on one elephant,
first into the surrounding forest,
then down to the beach, to lunch at a fresh water lagoon,
then back to the hotel.

The elephants (nine) were kept
chained to in-ground posts, not because they needed to be,
but because it made the mothers feel better
and their children seemed safe
from tromping feet when feeding the beasts.

About twenty minutes before the first wave hit,
the elephants became ex tremely agitated and unruly.
Four had just returned from a trip
and their handlers had not yet chained them.
They helped the other five tear free from their chains.

They all then climbed a hill and started bellowing.
Many people followed them up the hill.
Then the waves hit.

After the waves subsided,
the elephants charged down from the hill,
and started picking up children with their trunks
and running them back up the hill;
when all the children were taken care of,
they started helping the adults.

They rescued forty-two people.
Then, they returned to the beach
and carried up four dead bodies, one of a child
Not until the task was done
would they allow their handlers to mount them.
Then with handlers atop, they began moving wreckage.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Arroyo Hondo, New Mexico

Featured on the cover of Katrina Raphael’s book, ”Crystal Healing”

This Crystal Mandala has quite a story:
Katrina called and asked if I could do an image
that would evoke and transmit the deep essence of a crystal...

I paused at the question and quite confidently replied,
yes, I could, thinking of the Mandalas of Earth Forms
that I had been making over the years in energy vortex places like
Canyon de Chelly, Hopi, different sites...

When I worked with this large crystal
I felt it transmitted its clarity and spirit.
Its one of those unusual images that you can look at one day
and see something entirely new in it the next.
A focus for Healing and Meditation.]]></description>
