Punkin' carvin'

I was going to post a picture of my carved halloween pumpkin until I saw this guy's work. WOW. Great inspiration but I shall not attempt this at home!

Bringing back the birdies

Several years ago, I drew little birdie cartoons all the time. I came across some old sketches and they inspired me to bring back the birdies. Today's addition: "Northeast Gallery Bird."

Spanish "festivals" burn bulls alive

Please join me in signing this petition to end this barbaric, cruel and inhumane practice. It is painfully difficult for me to believe that such a violent and senseless "ritual" act can occur today. Whether perpetrated against human or non-human animals, this kind of torture is simply unacceptable and downright horrible. Animals feel pain just as we do – It is arrogant and ignorant to believe otherwise. Please help. And always keep your eyes and ears open, for this kind of brutality exists in many forms and in many places across our world. Just because you do not see it in your own backyard doesn't mean it doesn't exist!

Enemy

I have no greater enemy than myself.
When Ego is in control –
or blinded by the illusion of control
Spirit suffers in silence.
Suffocating in a black
windowless, doorless prison
Spirit patiently but painfully waits
for Ego to wake up from her nightmare.
