Travel Image ~ Faces of God

Varanasi, India

As morning dawns in Varanasi, the Ganges River pulses to life.  The Ganges is truly a sacred entity, revered as a goddess whose purity cleanses the sins of the faithful and aids the dead on their path toward heaven.  The Ganges is a symbol of hope.  There are temples & altars throughout the city of Varanasi.  I love that there is a pantheon of gods in Hinduism.  A god for each of the faces ~ the light, the dark, the masculine & the feminine ~ all the contradictions that live & dance within each of us.

Travel Image ~ Quetzals Of The Sun

Chichicastenango, Guatemala

On Thursdays and Sundays the quiet cobblestone streets of Chichicastenango erupt into a vibrant and dynamic market where travelers and the K’iche Maya from the surrounding highlands converge to buy and sell.  On other days of the week you can meander through the quiet streets of this mountain town & become enchanted by treasures along the way.  This gorgeous mural features the quetzals & the sun. The quetzal is sacred to the ancient Maya, and royalty and priests wore its feathers during ceremonies.  This is a beautiful reminder of sacred power.

Travel Image ~ Sacred Swirl

Kalimpong, India

The natural swirl of the cactus is mesmerizing as it harkens back to the Golden Mean Spiral of sacred geometry.  The patterns and codes of sacred geometry are deemed symbolic of our own inner realm and the subtle structure of our awareness.  The dichotomy of the harsh thorns and the delicate pink flowers mirrors the colorfully harsh and intricately delicate beauty of life.

Travel Image ~ Women of India

Agra, India

The women of India add flairs of brightness to the landscape with their colorful saris.  The voluminous nature of the garb may mask a woman’s physical features but her sensuality emanates from within the folds of silk.  In life, women appear to glide and float as saris flutter in their wake.  The women of India create ways to be themselves in the world as they walk through each day.

Travel Image ~ Open Window

Si Phan Don, Laos

Si Phan Don is a collection of 1,000 small islands in Southern Laos in the Mekong River.  There is an ease to the pace of life there.  The space exists to feel your own innate rhythm.  Spending full afternoons swinging back & forth in a hammock creates a sense of time lengthening out.  The slowdown creates a deeper appreciation for the simple beauty woven throughout our lives.  Simple beauty can be overlooked and in a fast pace you can miss the magic of color and texture coming together.

Travel Image ~ Himba Baby with Mama

Himba Village, Northern Namibia

Spending time with a Himba tribe in Northern Namibia will always be a memorable experience.  The Himba are nomadic cattle herders who move with their cattle to different water sources throughout the year.  This image always reminds me of the deep feminine experience of being a mother.  As mothers we desire to love, protect & nurture our children no matter where we live or what culture we were raised.  Motherhood is the land of heart and soul.
