Greetings Beloved Kin,

Everyone can learn to be an artist through the aesthetics of proportion, complimentary colors, and the angles of Light and Shadows. Though, some are born through a communion with a Divine Muse for the Creation of Beauty.

We are “born artists” when the Muse is Love and we Conscious of the Hand that directs us from Above. We were offered the Gift of an Artists Eye to imagine the Beauty of Love as the reality of our Life. We can’t fail when Love is the Expression we are reaching to share.

The Monkey doesn’t know what it’s doing, but it knows  it’s creating something original as its own expression. We don’t know what we’re doing either, and we don’t have to if it’s fun. That’s a beautiful end in itself. We only think we know what would bring us the greatest joy in the future. But,  all we can conceive is “black or white.” The One Above knows the Feeling we’re trying to convey as the Life we would conceive as our Masterpiece.

 

We could assume from the beginning that the Creator knows better than we do. The Lord of all Creation sees us in dynamic  proportions and knows the end that would shine with  more colors than the Human eye can see. A Divine Creator perfected the Divine Proportions that will always manifest a perspective of Beauty in the eye of every beholder.

We could create in living colors, imagining we’re painting in black and white. In the up above, the Light shines from every angle. Humans are engaged with a work of art beyond the means of execution or the technique. The eye of a Master beholder looks beyond the form to the message or the muse of its creation. We were given a piece of the Creator’s Heart and Soul to Feel the Truth unseen by Human eyes.

Sometimes, the simpler the image, the more obvious the message becomes. In Andy Warhol’s case, the message is still a mystery to me, but I can’t forget the question. If it was the beauty of the image that made it so valuable, we could buy a collection at the grocery store for a fraction of the cost and line them up on the mantel.

From the artists I’ve known, there’s rarely a masterpiece where they can’t see the flaws. The Creator always gets the message. No matter what colors we use the Creator sees us reaching for the Light from the Spirit’s realm of our imagination. When we lay a hand to any creation, it’s always Beauty we’re trying to create at the end, whether it’s expressed by function or form. We long to be creators of our own art that’s original. The highest expression is manifested by our own hand – not by 3D printing or graphic filters. At least that’s how I feel about it.

We were born to Create the Masterpiece of our Life,  something that clearly expresses who we are that leaves no doubts in the eye of the beholder, yet still leaving a mystery and a question to be remembered.

The God of Creation intends for every Masterpiece of Love to be seen as a thing of Beauty. A Divine Hand will create the end of Divine Proportions and apply the colors we’ve never seen.

When we see our life, may we remember our muse from Human’s perspective is only black and white. May we imagine the Beauty the Creator sees as our Divine Justice for even giving it a try. We could try to paint a walk through the garden, but without a camera, we’d be hard pressed to capture the image. But, we can imagine it and the Creator will know the expression and the end that was born in our Heart.

The Elders say that there are an unlimited number of ways to accomplish the same thing. When you imagine your life, leave plenty of white space for the details that a Divine Creator promises to complete with a Dream beyond our imagination. Oh, how we all long to see something beautiful that is “our original” worth the time to remember. If we could, it would fall short of what the Creator promises to do. Love is the Truth that leaves a lasting impression in the eyes of every beholder.

Creation begets creation. MY theory is that our most beautiful Masterpiece can begin as a mud pie. We are always inspired by a “next thing” when we spend time in Divine Communion with the Master Above.

love, in lak’ech,

Debra, 9 Eagle/MEN
PS Sometimes beauty shows up in a painting by accident. We could paint in black and white, and if we see a mistake – like the Raccoon, we could throw a little water on it to smear it away. That could end up being the defining feature. ANYTHING is possible! Beauty can happen when we aren’t trying so hard and letting “what will be will be.” (People could stare for hours trying to figure out what it means. LOL Artists rarely tell you the message. At least the times I’ve asked, the answer I received was, “what do you see?”) Another trick to painting. turn the canvas upside down or sideways, and you may see something you couldn’t see right-side up.

1 Monkey/CHUEN (Cherokee, Raccoon/KVH’LI) – Day 1 of 13, the 1 Monkey/CHUEN journey that is the Dawn of a New Creation

CORE DAYS:  The 7th Uinal in the Center of the Tzolk’in is compared to our own axis mundi, the center of our own universe where we are always perfectly positioned at the center of the 4 directions. The axis is the “line around which any body rotates.” Like a spinning gyroscope, we find our balance in a relationship shared between the Above and the Below. Holding a focus within the center of our Self, we reside in the place of perfect balance.

Descriptions by Ian Xel Lungold (12 Sun/AHAU), wisdom preserved on MayanMajix.com

Galactic Tone 1:  Unity. One is the beginning of all things, the first, the whole and the all in one. One’s are assertive and self-guided and give a good push to whatever project they are associated with. One persons work best when meeting a challenge. Do not expect One-persons to be attentive to details or to put the finishing touches on things.

Monkey/CHUEN: Monkey is known to the Maya as the Weaver or Weaver of Time. Monkey takes ideas as threads of vines and weaves them into the fabric of our reality. New patterns or inventions are also woven into our lives by Monkey. Amiable, intelligent, generous and a jack of all trades, Monkey’s innocent curiosity leads to artistic expression and constructive solutions. Many Monkeys become highly respected merchants or speakers. They love performing practical jokes and crave attention, so much so that they may over-act or play the fool to get the spotlight. Monkeys have a short attention span and find it difficult to stay with anything long enough to master it.

A GOOD DAY TO: Begin anything new in your life.

Cherokee, Raccoon/KVH’LI: Star Symbol: Algol, a star in Perseus. Restless energy yearning for long-lost love. Algol was named DEMON STAR or MISCHIEVOUS ONE by the Ancients because it winks and fades at times. Raccoons are full of friendly mischief, eager to swap kisses for candy; magnetic leaders, full of humor and gaiety. Favorite food is corn, the mainstay of the Cherokee. Very artistic while being the “masked bandit” who steals your heart.
