avadWhen I sent pics of my recent empathy box artwork to my dad he responded this way:
"Beautiful idea!
My views: NYC, East River
Chasm
Segments/Separation - yet connected by threads as if to close chasm & unify opposite sides
May also bring insight into 911 tragedy and connections!"
EXACTLY!!!! :)
Strangely enough, I had a dream in November of 2001 that really relates to
:
DREAM: I was in a backyard (similar to where I grew up) and my eyes were drawn to a small tree (the cherry tree?) where something had just landed....in amazement I find I am looking at this alien creature (!), a bizarre semi-translucent bright yellow skin...spindly arms and legs which reminded me again of grasshoppers (in another alien dream I had long ago there was also a grasshopper looking leg).
But then out of nowhere a man appears, middle aged, grey hair, looks just like Bill Beutel (the newscaster that I liked best as a young girl)...and he starts to talk to me without moving his mouth (telepathically)...amazingly I find I can do the very same to answer and it is very comfortable and I feel VERY/unusually calm. He is showing me something, pointing, and I look into 'a' distance....
At the horizon, across water, I could see the skyscrapers of NYC. I tried to figure out where I was because I know there are places that would have that view. (this is exactly the view in the detail photo of the empathy box)
But then suddenly the scene changed...and the horizon was a rumble with dark forms and I was suddenly watching a very old war with men on horses. I remember being told something about 'this' being a very 'ancient war'. and that was all I could remember vividly though he said so much more!...I couldn't remember ANYTHING else he told me! so frustrating!
Now THIS year during the Iraqi war, I was working on a 'rivers' artwork....with sand....which then started to become the Tigris and Euphrates...and I had to research it more....until I realized this is SUMER.! The present war was taking place on Sumerian ground...where writing itself was invented....and the cuneiform tablets that I relate to SO much for some reason. As I worked on that piece....the dream was half in my mind...or at least the voice saying this is an ancient war....and I saw/understood the present events as a recurring energy spiraling in that area...like whirlwind unaffected by time, ever-present.(Eliav!)I saw the events 'layered' somehow...and the cities beneath the sand...the past existing still...as a dimension...with energies that interacted somehow with what was going on now in the same area(?).
I did Google searches and went to the library and read of the barbaric wars of the Assyrians...the countless waves of violence... I read about a prophet Daniel having a 'vision' at the rivers(!)...I was so emotional during the creation of that piece...I lost myself in it...when pouring sand I saw it blow about the areas...I saw cars...checkpoints...lines of communication connected then broken...I don't have TV..so during this time I suppose my mind was reaching to SEE what was going on...and what I saw was this configuration...vibrating...
Here are some shots of the artwork 'Waking Sumer':

Date: 2003-07-07 07:04 am (UTC)I found it so hard to 'come to the surface'...but when I did..the dreams dissolved and slipped through my net...I cannot remember! It's so frustrating. I have tiny glimpses- a balcony here, a movie theatre here...but nothing more solid. ergh.
