Bridging worlds… Man of Fire

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

Bridging seems to be the theme of the week!

So I thought I would share with you some of the inspiration behind Ankya Design.

I always love a good mystery and finding out how things work.   Some years ago, having closed my natural therapies practice,  I went on a journey of discovery out of which my images were birthed.   Much of this journey involved my curiosity for indigenous culture and traditions.   I see my images as a bridge between indigenous traditions and our contemporary world.   A way of being in the world where you feel your connection with nature.   Not separate but part of.   Our true source of power comes from our connection with all that is.

Man of Fire is here to stay
His fix is quite simple I’d say
Just plug in direct to the cosmic ray!

No need for other substances
To break free of his skin
He just switches to universal
Energy supply

It shoots direct into his intuitive mind
And renders him totally blind
To his social conditioning

It makes him free
Of his personality
To live abundantly
His true potentiality

His very unique gifts to share
With this world so fair
His heart is alight with
Cosmic fire

That’s Man of Fire you see
Living harmoniously…

So lets build bridges between man and nature, man and woman, cultures, heart and mind.   Balancing opposites for peace.   When we create bridges we find pathways to resolve our challenges.   What bridges would you like to build in your life?


Abundance Is All Around Us - Manifesting In Your Life

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

The very first image that came to me in Ankya Design was this one which I named ‘Abundance’ – can you see why?

Abundance, it’s all around

Lakshmi said buy me you’ll see
I’m the Goddess of Abundance
And I’ll set you free

No need of your presence
In my life I said to her
Just trust she said and
I’ll teach you to be…

So home she came with me that day
A golden goddess with breasts
Of pure gold (a bun dance!)

Next morning to my amazement
I saw her reflected in the world all around
In the plants and the flowers
That everywhere abound

Said she to me
Just open your heart’s eyes to
All that you meet

You’ll never feel lack
Or alone again

For isn’t nature’s abundance
Richer than rich?

So any time you are feeling ‘stuck’ working at your computer, pull yourself away and go take a walk in nature. She will always bring you a message or two and answer your question of the day. There is a natural order in nature and we are included in that. Often we get into difficulties when we want to ‘control’ the situation. When we surrender into the natural flow of life’s unfolding, we are guided beautifully onto the right path for our growth. For that’s what life is all about.

Its miraculous I say! You will return refreshed, at peace and inspired.
