The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

Friends & Crop Circle Aficionados, Any thoughts re: our recent cymaglyph vs. the Wiltshire UK owl crop circle of 2009? (Swipe left for photo of the crop circle.) We’re not saying it’s an exact match or anything, we just found it interesting that it’s so similar. The spacing between the eyes of the crop circle vs. our glyph is obviously a bit closer together and we didn’t have adequate lighting up and running yet, but even the points or small hatched lines around the outside of the crop circle are present in the cymaglyph - except in our glyph… they’re rotating in a ring clockwise. 😳 Anyone else think crop circles are frequency based?

Time lapse vid of part of the first pass of #woodburning onto the 24" full moon #crystalgrid board painted three nights ago during the Worm Moon. (See previous post.) The quick first pass basically only makes it easier for me to see my pencil lines before a much slower second and sometimes even third pass happens to burn the lines deeper into the surface of the wood. 🤓 #icantseeshit.

Some days, it's still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that making beautiful spiritual tools for my fellow earth dwellers is my actual job now. I'm truly just getting started and although I know there's no such thing as luck, that it's all divine purpose and alignment and manifestation, but after 40+ years of humaning I somehow still haven't found better words to describe what I'm feeling today so here goes... ▫️ I feel incredibly lucky to be here with all of you doing whatever it is we're all doing together. Back when I believed we were all muggles and blindly accepted this life at face value, I somehow ended up following some pretty inspirational people here on IG. My favorites were the accounts of a few unapologetically authentic free spirits who roamed this earth documenting the wonderful things that made their souls happy and connected them with other unapologetically authentic free spirits. Reading the things they somehow knew to be true about life, who they believed us to be and what we're capable of... it didn't make any sense. How could this be? My analytical nurse brain needed to know more - even if only to prove to myself that my belief system wasn't faulty and these child like people were just highly entertaining and harmlessly delusional. I'm eternally grateful for those people because the tiny sparks of wonder and information they so freely shared eventually grew into an all encompassing inferno of research and self-discovery that I hope to never escape. ▫️ Here I am with you today... A former muggle turned unapologetically authentic free spirited co-creator of this universe who purposely dropped out of the rat race in order to document the things that make my soul happy, like creating "light portals" (a.k.a. Luminous Grids 😉), in hopes of sharing a tiny spark that might eventually set another unsuspecting soul ablaze. ❤️ #intentionallylucky

I'm feeling overwhelmingly grateful today... for absolutely everything. Which is ironic considering that the last few months haven't gone anywhere near the way I intended them to. The basic necessities that make most feel secure in life? I've had to let a few of those things go recently, some only temporarily, but still... in the grand scheme of things I probably should've been freaking the funk out. Just the thought of freaking out, though, felt like a whole lot of unnecessary stress and wasted energy towards a situation I couldn't do anything about. The few times I've felt a freak out maybe creepin' up, I've rejected it. I've refused to let fear of the unknown cloud the intent I'm holding for my future. Instead, I've chosen to embrace the fact that sometimes things have to fall apart so better things can fall together. ▫️ Finally got some quality time with my incredible bf today, whose response to one of the hundreds of random ideas that fly out of my mouth daily was, "Why hasn't anyone done that yet?! That's Tesla stuff. You better be careful, you'll get yourself killed." 😂 Later spent some time on the kitchen floor painting this 24" moon which will soon become a grid... which is when I got all emo realizing that like the moon, our lives are cyclic. We're either full and bright or just slivers of our former selves. Maybe the cycles are longer and not nearly as obvious, but I bet the moon never sees himself looking like a sliver and feels bad about it. He's been there for eons and is still the mf'n moon and full af whether we can see it or not! 🌝As I was painting, it occurred to me... My bf? Even after witnessing life chew me up and spit me out recently, he still sees my brilliance even when my heart doesn't feel full and I don't think I'm shining brightly. ❤️ As I sat here gazing upon my newly painted full moon (because the real one is currently hidden by clouds)... I find myself grateful for every person and situation in my life - good and bad - that led me to my right now. I encourage you to do the same, fam... it only takes a couple minutes! Go sit with the moon and reflect on all you have to be grateful for. It aligns you with additional blessings!

Alone, even doing nothing, you do not waste your time. You do, almost always, in company. No encounter with yourself can be altogether sterile: Something necessarily emerges, even if only the hope of some day meeting yourself again.

“Find something you love to do and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.” Also, turns out… art is like makeup. Just throw it on for an errand and it somehow ends up looking better than the times you spend an hour working at it. (Related: Purple wood grain? Yes, please!)

About 6 months ago we bought a huge plotter/cutter for the Luminous Grids HQ so we could plot/print the iPad and iPhone sized geometric concepts we come up with and then ponder over or meditate with tangible supersized versions. And then? Life happened and up until this week we haven’t even had a chance to set it up and play with it. 😆 ▫️ Flash forward to today and I gotta admit… I’m feeling pretty proud/accomplished (and quite frankly a bit badass, LOL) about the fact that the Sri Yantra on the left that took me THREE HOURS to draw by hand with nothing but rulers and compasses a couple weeks ago (for the time lapse drawing vid) looks almost exactly the same as the one on the right of comparable size that I also “drew,” but in an engineering app (that makes sure your geometry stays straight as you go), and then watched as a machine redraw it in less than 5 minutes today. ▫️ Erase the word CAN’T from your vocabularies, luminous beings! Five years ago, there wasn’t a person on this planet that would’ve been able to convince me that I would be making my own art, be able to draw a Sri Yantra (let alone enjoy geometry) or that I would be into half the other über nerdy stuff I’m into. Yet, even with a perpetually glitchy meat suit, I’m the absolute happiest I’ve ever been. ◽️ Love yourself enough to believe in beautifully impossible things. Let whatever is meant for you come freely without doubt/judgement/fear/preconceived notions. When something is no longer serving you, let it go without attachment. This is literally the process of how all impossible things become possible! You know when Glinda tells Dorothy that the magic was in her all along? It’s true, fam! It’s in each of you, as well, and the more you let it out to run free the bigger it grows. Have a great evening, all!

I recently dismantled the #WinterSolstice #crystalgrid and sent everyone’s intent on to do its thing… Thank you again to all who participated! ❤️Does anyone else experience grid separation anxiety? It’s always so bittersweet to see them go! 😟

Meditation is not a matter of trying to stop thinking or make your mind go blank but rather to realize when your attention is wandering and to simply let go of the thoughts and begin again. It is a way of changing our relationship to our thoughts, so we’re not so consumed by them, with no sense of space. Having a newly spacious relationship to our thoughts brings both peace and freedom.
