Symbolism:
This Healing Artwork symbolizes All Nations, All Races, All Peoples, coming together… it is World Peace. World Peace is Now. Peace reigns on Earth. I believe it is happening now as we speak. The many ‘candles of light’ are drawing together Worldwide and finding their Sacred Voices once again…

The Vase symbolizes the physical, the body we are all born with, it is our gift from the Divine, from God, a ‘channel’ for us to use to show Love and Compassion to one another the Earth, all of Her creatures. The Races are symbolized by the Buffalo hides of different shapes and colors--- depicting the many different and beautiful hues of our skin. They are sewn together by strong golden thread which will not break once sewn together by inner strength, respect, love, compassion, wisdom, courage and trust. This symbolizes all of us coming together in Love, Balance, Harmony creating World Peace and deep Love and respect for one another regardless of race, ideology, social status, money---regardless of anything! These things matter not.. they are Illusion. What matters most divinely is Love. That is All.

The shapes of the buffalo hide sewn together create a sort of five-pointed star, this symbolizes deep protection from anything negative and the interconnectedness of All living things on Earth --- Everything!

The Earth tone colors are grounding colors which help us realize, understand and feel our connection to the Earth, Our Mother in essence. The Inside of the Buffalo vase symbolizes the spiritual, the part of us that most do not see, yet some of us are now awakening to and can certainly feel! It is in taking the spiritual journey inward into our own Heart, that we can Heal our Heart and invite inner Peace in… World Peace soon follows… The Buffalo is the symbol of Great Wisdom and Gratitude. Remember that Wisdom and Truth are always meant to be shared --- do not limit the World by limiting your expression of inner Knowing and Truth. No longer are your beautiful and wise secrets meant to be kept from those who are willing to see and have ears to hear. (The White Buffalo symbolizes the beginning of World Peace and is in full swing now).

The wording on the Painting ‘We Are One” is from a Native Cree prophecy: “Only when the last tree has been cut down, Only after the last river has been poisoned , Only after the last fish has been caught, Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.” “Whatever We Do to the Web, We Do to Ourselves” (Chief Seattle, 1854) “We Are One”. It is my Hope and Earnest Prayer that we will not wait until all our rivers and oceans are poisoned and that plants, animals and people die needlessly due to our choices made due to our fears of “never having enough". The feeling of security, and contentment lies from within not from without. It is time for you to reclaim your voice, in whatever way that is, so that All may hear your message of Love and Compassion, so that hearts may heal, the Earth may heal, and World Peace reigns on Earth.

While you contemplate this Healing Artwork, may it fill you with Joy and may you know in your own Heart that You are Dearly Loved and completely accepted just as you are now… Imagine the most Love you could possibly feel and multiply this by Infinity and that is how much Love is available to you --- how much you ARE Loved! --- total Unconditional Love… Just as you are… now, in this very moment. You are a Seeker of Wisdom & Truth… A Seeker of the Light. Remember Always to follow your Heart’s Desire--- Love and Joy will surely come to you. Allow, permit Love to open your Heart and Heal You.




“May the Divine Creator, Father & Mother of Us All,
empower this Healing Medicine Artwork.
May it be pleasing to my Grandmothers & Grandfathers,
the Ancient Ones.
May it be of benefit and healing to all beings.
May It inspire World Peace.
And So It Is.”
