Where Art and the Art of Life meet
An introduction
Yawe
~ The life and spirit of Being(s) ~
Once, the tellings of life were orally shared by native inhabitants of the world who communicated with the land they lived on.
Who listened to what she, the creative force life is, was sharing so they could act upon this wisdom.
Thereby serving and protecting life to the extent possible within the means people had at their disposal.
In those stories was shared how life told itself in and through bodies and minds.
The life wisdom and lived experiences made it possible to share an Earthly awareness all (human) beings are part of and belong to.
By acting accordingly, they honored and respected the nature of life, its natural laws and the universal life processes.
Myths, fairytales and folk stories from all over the world preserved this universal life awareness and they bear treasures within themselves.
When understand in their essence they share teachings about how we are related to and connected with all lives and can provide answers to life happenings, deep life wishes and longings and share insights in the meaning of life.
They are stories of the land. Of creation, initiation and intention.
Of a pure, silent communication in which wonders come to life in living Being (s).
‘Yawe’ is such a story.
It shares metaphorically how the universe formed out of a wondrous moment of enlightenment, followed by a big bang,
an earthly existence where the creative force of life gave shape to bodies through which the soul could become alive.
This soul energy functioned as one, like a mother and a father who cared for the souls and their bodies.
It enabled life to change and transform from one state into another.
Until a fear to lose became a reality and everything changed.
The force of life became divided and a duality became a new reality, one with devastating consequences.
You are wholeheartedly invited to experience the story of ‘Yawe’.
The Legend of Mazze
‘The Legend of Mazze’ consists of a series of books
in which the adventures of Mazze, Knight-I, Girly Girl and their fourlegged-friend Robin come to life.
They visit many known and unknown worlds with their air-ship-castle and meet both ancient and brand new friends.
Like Mrs. Mari Marigold who appears out of ‘Nothingness’ when Nothing Helps,
Dot Tir the Ice Rabbit living behind the door to Elsewhere, whose feelings are deeply frozen by grief.
And Jibbe the lighthouse keeper, whose lighthouse can illuminate black holes in the universe.
They have loving and tender adventures with sometimes exciting, fearful or sad moments.
Fortunately, they always end in regained harmony.
In a metaphorical way the stories descibe the personal development
of curious, conscious (human) beings on a physical (part 1, The frozen pain of Dottir),
emotional and mental (part 2, The uprooted darkness enlightend) and
spiritual (part 3, The golden fleece of Pyramidland) level.
