Majahual



After many months of summer travel and exploration it gives me great pleasure to once again reach out to my virtual community.

Seasonal shifts bring with them new possibilities and growth, and richly varied experience provides tinder for the creative furnace.

One of my summer highlights presented itself in the form of an unexpected opportunity to visit a small and friendly fishing village on the Caribbean coast of Mexico. Mahajual (pronounced mah-hah-WAHL) is raw and primitive and unspoiled by excess commercialism. In this place I sensed no defined distinction between myself and Nature. With sand between my toes, salt air whipping my hair and electrical storms raging overhead, my soul essence was enlivened and refreshed.

Energies restored, my daily practice has also been reinstated.  At the moment I'm investigating the possibilities of color as subject by playing a form of color bingo.  In a future posting I will explain my method further.
