WELCOME!!

16 Jul

Welcome to samples of my writing and more, showcasing my new book, Eye-locks and Other Fearsome Things: Learning to Love as a Bipolar Aspie.”  “Eye-locks” is a Bipolar/Asperger’s memoir in narrative form that describes the triumph of love over mental illness.  While not a lesson plan it documents my journey to finding love against all odds.  Click http://www.independentauthornetwork.com/ellen-stockdale-wolfe.html  for a short bio, a full description, and to purchase my book.)

Learning to love is an ongoing process and I am writing posts on new lessons learned.  As well, I post relevant Mental Health articles, book reviews that may interest, along with reviews for my book.

All the original abstract art posted is dedicated to advocating for Bipolar Disorder and Asperger’s Syndrome– for it is those very handicaps that feed my art.  The more realistic art is dedicated to raising consciousness for animals and the environment and much of it is donated to animal rescue groups for fundraising.  It portrays the wilderness and creatures of upstate New York.

Finally I have also posted selections from my nature writing, poetry, and some music to entertain.  My nature essays were published in a small paper in upstate New York for a year and a half.  The poems have appeared throughout my life, coming and going as they please.

Please take a look around and  thank you for stopping by!

All photographs are for sale and are available in different sizes and formats from 8×10 to 16×20.

Ode to a Lily

23 May

Lily of the Valley (digital photo)

Oh gentle

Lily of the Valley,

bowed down in quiet prayer

 to your Creator,

your humility,

your simplicity

is your beauty.

 ~

How like the trees art thou

who, unlike you,

reach skywards,

while you kneel

with sensuous spirituality

in deference to the Almighty.

~

Oh beauteous

Lily of the Valley,

would that we all were like thee

in thy hushed humility.

“Music Magic”

21 May

Today

a lightness of being

want to share

the scintillating spark

 Cat Stevens

and his cohorts

see

the Light

music often mania makes

is this mania

or

is it the catepillar

coming out of the chrysalis of depression

being Bipolar bears

cacophonic confusion

even after 6 decades

who cares

Cat Stevens

a gift to me

from my brother

post mortem

his legacy to me

because he loved him

and because I missed him

I listened

too late to share the love

 now

my gift to you

just listen and let

soul to soul transmission

effect

its music magic

culminating

in a crescendo

of

soul

Campaigners call for ban on seabird killer

21 May

Reblogged from Green Living London:

Three leading wildlife organisations have joined together to call for the ban on the discharge of polyisobutene (PIB), which has killed hundreds of seabirds.

The disaster of hundreds of seabirds dying along England’s southern coast because of marine pollution has prompted the RSPB, the RSPCA and The Wildlife Trust to write to Transport Minister Stephen Hammond, alerting him to the growing threat.

Hundreds of birds are dying at the hands of PIB. Please pass the word along so PIB can be banned before hundreds more die.

Pure Allure

17 May

Look into my eyes

that tell no lies,

do they not hypnotize?

And my swirling

coat of curls,

is that not your unfurling?

Simple and pure,

though quite demure

I am full of allure.

And although

pink of ear,

pink of nose and

pink of horn,

 I’m yellow-tagged

and thus

uncharacteristically,

undeniably,

 positively

forlorn.

The War on Consciousness

15 May

Reblogged from Shamanic Paths:

A friend recently shared a list of three talks which the TED organisation banned from it's YouTube channel. This one seemed to be pertinent for those interested in the Shamanic worldview, so I thought worth sharing.

The talk was written off by TED with the statement:
“Graham Hancock’s talk, again, shares a compelling and unorthodox worldview, but one that strays well beyond the realm of reasonable science.
