Hi Gary, thank you for visiting my site! I love what you’ve written about using art for positive transformation, it is I believe the original purpose for artistic expression:) So far, ‘Garden of Deities’ from your 2009 Art Gallery is my favourite..thank you also for sharing all the beautiful quotes.
thank you so much. Garden was the piece that I did that started me feeling maybe I was a visual artist after all π
Nice work. Reminds me of some of the digital stuff I’ve done in the past. Also thanks for checking out my blog. I thought it only proper I do the same and it was worth it!
Thank you kindly, very glad you did

So I thought I’d stop by to personally say thank you. I appreciate your thoughts, writing, and artwork.
Warmest,
Alaya AD
Thank you so much for stopping by and telling me.. COme by anytime =)

Thank you so much =)
You have been blogging for such a long time already~ O o O *Hands down* Thank you for visiting my blog. I also have a page with my Tarot Cards version. Hope to have time to see it. Your versions are amazingggg!! Keep it up! Awesome Blog byt the wayy~ π *o*
Thank you for your comments and visits to my site. And thank you for connecting me to your site here. Your art work is stunning and the metaphors embodied in your work, along with your quotes get to some of the critical issues of our times. I once lived and taught in India so I am familiar with some of your themes–Namaskar Ji. Have you seen some of the artwork of former Mossad officer Victor Ostrovsky? Also worth checking out.
take care and thank you, “ni kso ko wa” (means “We are all related”. in Blackfoot language) Jim/Omahkohkiaaiipooyii
Thank you so much for your words and for your amazing blog which covers so many topics that I have an interest in.
I have not yet read Victor Ostrovsky’s work nor seen his artwork (tho both of his books are high up on my reading list) and am looking forward to it..
Thank you again,
G

Thank you so much for your kind words
Keep it green!
Magick is green (the rest of the colours also but definitely green) π
Are you looking for a padawan?

Myself, I tend to see everyone as my teacher and learn the most that way π
Thanks for liking my daily sketch!
Thank you for your beautiful and calming images. I always look forward to your posts.
Thank you so much
I’m so shy to be writing you but for some reason I’m following your blog and it’s so great to read your posts. The waters seem full of sharks so I thought maybe you might not be a shark and I’d say hi. Thank you for your blog.
Nah, i’ve never identified with water predators tho i do relate well to creatures of the crossroad and wolves have always been my protectors… I just started looking over your blog and i intend to continue as you have a rather fun voice and being… Hope to talk more… feel free to check me out on Facebook

Blessings, G
I did a touch of editing & this is how I rewrote my feeling & thoughts on you.
The quotations perfect, the philosopher with deep wisdom, writer with inspiration, poet with the concise words & artist of the most amazing mandalas, tarot & other paintings created from a brilliant imagination.
It is okay not to use the image. You have you space perfectly designed. π Jk
I am still looking for a block of time where I can respond to this. Again I am very honoured.
Just be you. I know what a great person you are & how involved & busy one can find themselves. Let yourself do what you need to do. Okay. π
Always thank you for understanding and thanks again =) <3
Beautiful ace of cups, full of magic and mystery. Have used it on my new blog – hope this is ok.
It is definitely ok thanks =)
Hi Gary, I enjoy your blog, especially love your art. I have nominated you for the Dragon’s Loyalty Award. I know many have no interest in community generated awards, and they can often be a time consuming pain.. But, there is no obligation to accept. If you like you can check out my nominees here,http://apothecarysgarden.com/2014/01/16/the-dragons-loyalty-award-part-2/, where you will also find links to the acceptance “rules”.
Wishing you an inspired and prosperous new year and looking forward to future words and art.
Dan
I always appreciate the awards and I fully intend to attend to this one. Thanks Dan
Thank you for this creation in the form of a blog. You have touched me, moved me, and I am so appreciative of finding your words.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
hey G! how is the t-shirt biz shaping up? i have not forgotten.
Hi Adam,
Thanks so much. It is going http://cafepress.com/wakingspirals.
There are only a few designs but my intention is to add more daily.
I am trying to figure out which of my art designs to use and finding that due to resizing necessary, it is sometimes a daunting task.
Congratulations! I will keep watching the development and eventually make an order. Three questions: 1) can orders be paid with paypal (I do not use credit cards if avoidable); 2) will you be printing on hoodies? and 3) will you post costs for international shipping and for custom design work?
I’ve finally added more designs and on a greater variety of merchandise. Cafe press does take paypal… If they do have hoodies and i believe they do, I will print on them for sure
3) I will get back to you on both the international shipping and custom work within the next few days
Thank you so much Adam for your interest and encouragement
Hey bro!
Been away from wordpress for a break. Back now. Gotta put some work into updating my main site, but I am back online. Hope you are well and happy!
Namaste!
Glad you’re back… The Past month has been an interesting one with more to come…
Glad to have you back… always glad to hear from you brother
Hey Gary! I have just sent you an email.
I am just getting back to things now Adam. I will read and reply for sure
Great! Yeah … I just started a new literary project tonight myself, and will also hopefully get started on a new painting this weekend. Enjoy the continued summer.
Hi,
Do you accept guest posts? I’m a poet and would like to submit if you’re interested. Let Me know! i’m at j.peterswillrule@gmail.com
Hi there,
Just want to say your images are extremely beautiful and touching. I’m working on a project at the moment and would like to discuss the possibility of using some of your pieces in it, or having you design one for us. Could you please email to see if this is possible?
Many thanks
I definitely will. Sorry I have not gotten back to you as yet. Life has been a bit hectic.
Gary, Yay I finally tracked you down, new website and all. Tried to subscribe via the button but it’s not working. Since resurrecting Art Rat Cafe I’ve been slowly reconnecting with the WP community. Tonight I was headed your way then found you hadn’t paid your rent and skipped town π
Anyway, I like your new house and am looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
Thanks John π
I have been preoccupied & when I realized I wasn’t receiving your mailing, I thought you were just taking a rest. Well, yesterday I clicked on your site from my blogroll and you were gone. Freaked me out. I missed reading your last mailing. I recently received the present of new laptop/tablet and have been transferring and building it up. Your post emailing were on my older laptop with the messages of your moving. I had the bright idea to check out anything I might have left behind and was thrilled to find your last messages from your old site. Thank the spirits you haven’t disappeared. It really bummed me out, the thought of losing you, your meditative interpretations and quotations and most of all your divine artwork. I am so thrilled to know you are still out there. You were one of the first people who acknowledged my fledgling blog ‘the secret keeper’ those many years ago.
I love the whole makeover and the new look is beautiful and alive and awakening. When I realized I thought I had lost you, it really hit me the effect you have on me. Your words and art really move me. I must take better care of those who are important to my life. And I will.
Now to the issue of subscribing to your new form and location. The all new Waking Spirals seems to have a problem with my signing up to receive regular mailing. I get kicked off to some odd place in cyberspace.Is this unusual or just the new kinks of your new starting up? I will keep trying until it works. In the meantime, I will try to make it over to visit you as often as possible and add you back on my blogroll so I find easy access to Waking Spirals. You had a place there before and now I shall return you so others may find Waking Spirals and discover the wisdom and beauty on your site.
Good Luck with the growing of your world and its new beauty. This location feels so positive and filled with new energy. I love it. – jk
Thank you so much for your kind words. The subscription problem is definitely a kink in the new system that i have yet to figure out…
I’ll just keep checking in using my bookmarks or blogroll. Look forward to the energy in the new joint. It feels open and light. Good vibration will be happening here. – jk
