Over The Rainbow

Over The Rainbow bluebirds fly, as the Great Migration soon begins. Many birds, as well as Snowbird Humans, escape winter for the warmer climates far South. However, birds risk death defying trips, often thousands of miles, to gain tropical weather and fresh food sources. Nothing we do can compare to their body adaptations as they enter their migratory season.

First of all, many birds double their body weight. They eat massive amounts of carbs and berries for many weeks before launching their cross country trips. Secondly, their internal organs shrink and grow as needed, depending on their species. Thirdly, they are able to greatly alter their sleep patterns. Some close one eye to rest half their brain, while flying. Small thrushes have adapted to sleep for about 9 seconds at a time to keep partially awake and avoid predators and tall buildings.

The most amazing migratory birds are Hummingbirds, due to their size and high metabolism. They fly the longest route of all the birds, some 3000 miles, for their body length. Quite an amazing feat for such tiny creatures.

I know I adapt whenever I’m going away for any length of time, but with far different priorities. My home must be able to sustain itself in order for me to have real peace of mind. Also, I bring my art supplies wherever I go.

Over the Rainbow is also about our search for our personal best.

I travel to seek out new beauty, ancient sacred sites, and inspiration to paint and record this time in my life. I believe I’m here with my spark of god light to discover new experiences, learn new talents, and evolve by being the creator of my life in interesting imaginative ways. Plus, I never stop learning, exploring, or seeing life with fresh eyes. That’s something we can all do whether we’re able to travel or not.

Humans have always been the creators and producers of life. They create new, inventive, original, never seen before art, crafts, writings, temples, and homes, everywhere. There’s an island in the Philippines where there is no word for ‘art’, since everything they make is beautiful as well as useful.

Where will your personal Over the Rainbow take you? The most important trait to have is to be like the birds, and never get stuck, frozen, or too serious. Make your life one of play, adventure, discovery, and evolution. Keep improving without self sabotaging your body, spirit, or heart. Break out of the routine to try a new place, unusual food, or the path less followed.

Navigate each day according to your feelings. And always go for what feels good, makes you happy, and surprises you along the way. Take a risk now and then, just to see what happens. Be the Magician of your life and do everything with Conscious Awareness. Make choices, follow new directions, and if your feelings change, than don’t hesitate to change directions. Explore different worlds while seeing the humor life offers.

Remember, life is but a dream and over the rainbow is a land of Magic. Be inspired with this Mystical Moon Painting after a short introduction.
