its an elk, i think ... we have moose here too ... but they live closer to the freshwater (ie lakes, not ocean side) and further up north from here. i once saw a moose, when i lived on the prairies (centre of canada ...) - it was a young moose - like a yearling ... just standing in the middle of the gravel road ... waiting for its mother to come around the corner ... so cool!
have you visited freya's blog? she has a really lovely story about a wolf/dog and a stag ... http://freyavision.blogspot.com/ ... that's the link ... the blog owner is actually this person: http://chickory.blogspot.com ... and this one ... http://sparringk9.blogspot.com ... one very cool girl ... FYI just tellin ya this coz i think you might like her ... she's one greal chick and a fabulous artist.
i have been poking thru some stuff on tarot - this weekend i will have time to make a nice, proper post on that ... ta ta for now.
We could see here moose’s almost in the centre of cities, but we also have lakes everywhere. I’m looking forward to your next post. I had a period in my life that I did quite much tarot. Lately not so much, but there is very much basic truth in them.
you are TOO kind! i have really been floundering around with freyas paintings. too literal. too illustratory. i need to pare down to the essence. the image that speaks to your DNA. not am image that spells it all out for you.
its great to live somewhere where you can see big wildlife like a moose. i see a deer now and then but rarely a buck.
Through effective change in myself, first and foremost, I can effect change in my surroundings in a most genuine and compassionate manner. This means challenging my self to compassionate, encouraging, genuine and hostile-free exchanges. It also means contemplating my reaction to the thoughts, feelings and expressions of others, prior to acting upon them. When negative energy and thinking threaten to darken my path, I can brighten my way through the light of acceptance and positive energy. I choose ~ it starts with me.

"Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things." ~ Okakura Kakuzo, The Book of Tea
"All of us live in exile in a real way. As St. Paul puts it, we see as 'through a glass darkly,' through an enigma, separated always partially from God and each other." ~ Ron Rolheiser, OMI

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ~ Steve Jobs
"An illustration of activity in stillness is in the spinning of a top. At its greatest speed there is most apparent stillness, and we say the top is then ‘asleep.’” ~Isabella Mears
"A certain skinlessness goes with the ability to observe and describe feelings. This does not make for blithe unconsciousness. Writers are doubters, compulsives, self-flagellants. The torture only stops for brief moments." ~ Erica Jong, Fear of Fifty

hey she~
i thought of you when i saw this image ...
the stags ... ah yes - they are shy, i think ... which is why they don't show themselves very often.
you will know, i think (or freya will) when the painting(s) are right ...
hugz to you.;)
