Swirling Trees

            While out in the woods last summer,with this canvas and paints, I wont mention what I had for a snack,I experienced fantastic images of an extraordinary plasticity. They were associated with an intense kaleidoscopic play of colors, I grabbed my brush when that no longer gave me the effect I wanted ,I started to paint with my palette knife and fingers,what have I've become? what I'm I painting? it started to seem like all my  senses are simultaneously more sensitive. Mental and emotional processes are heightened and accelerated. as strange as this may sound I started to feel  childlike, with the paints in my dirty painted fingers, Yet I had  thoughts that   seem enormously complex, important and of an incredible depth. Tears, laughter, loneliness, intimacy, clarity, confusion, love, ecstasy and despair started to all co-exist. I even began to hear mathematics, taste colors and see music. I even started to   turn inward and explore vast areas of consciousness which are hardly mapped.starring at the canvas provided  journeys into other realms, I was so so deeply INTO reality that normalcy seems distorted, Einstein spoke and wrote of the 'feebleness of the senses.' The great thinker believed that humans were virtually blind and did not see the true universe. Einstein knew of the Electro-Magnetic Spectrum which lay beyond visible light. The true universe is not static or stationary. It constantly moves.this heightened mind state...intricate, moving, geometric patterns are observed in everything.When I look at   a blank, white canvas then suddenly I see intense colors and changing patterns. Those colors and patterns are not hallucinations. They are really there! They lie beyond the view of our normal, limited and narrow senses. A huge range of mental levels exist above what we would call normal perception. Someone operates on the higher floors of the mind.Ahh the smell of paints who doesn't love the smell of paints like the lilies of the field,one more final thought comes to the surface of the mind, Mescaline is the active principle of peyote.and now the painting is done!
