A Messy Human Angel

Art by Maria Chambers

As an artist, musician and writer, I have created a wide range of forms.  Some have been calm and peaceful and some have been more provocative.  And of course, art is invariably in the eye of the beholder.  Some of my figures have made people feel at peace, and the same figures have made others uncomfortable.

Crazy

Art by Maria Chambers

I don’t think there is anyone here who has not felt crazy at one time or another.  Maybe you felt crazy growing up in a world that has already gone mad.  Or you are feeling crazy now that you are no longer associated with that world.

Or maybe for the first time you are feeling sane.  You realize that there was never anything wrong with you.  You now get that it’s crazy making trying to fit into a reality that has little to do with who you really are.  You now look out at the world, with compassion, but with a clear understanding that the world out there is crazy.

The Sacred Dance

One may ask, what is this embodied enlightenment really all about?  And there is a barrage of material explaining it.  But it really is quite simple.  In its purest form, it is a sacred dance.

True Passion

Years ago when in my twenties, I left New Jersey and a controlling Greek father behind, and drove, with a college boyfriend, to a small midwest town named Iron River, Wisconsin.

We lived for almost a year in a small cabin type home in the woods, along with another young couple.  What could be more exciting and new?

What started out as just a vacation ended up being more.  I worked at the local fishing pole factory, since jobs there were scarce.  My days involved wrapping wire around fishing poles, and inadvertently inhaling solvent based glue without proper ventilation. (Back in the early 70’s).
