Astrological Meditation: Humanity & the Cosmos-2019 Project
We visualize Astrological Meditation Paintings on the walls of households in Baltimore, Maryland, the United States, all countries big and small. These paintings will serve as a reminder that we are more the same than different, that we all have the same blue blood flowing through our veins, breath the same air ... Through these Meditations we will begin understanding that we are here to care for each other , the Earth, its solar system and beyond, bringing a balance of Joy and Serenity into our lives and our community.
Please note the two paintings we submitted, Aquarius and Virgo, are 85% complete and are 2 of a planned 12 part set of all the Astrological signs to be completed in 2019. We hope any grant fund will help us complete this community project.

Being the Art
We decided to wear our artwork so that we could have more interaction with the public about the Athena Sophia collaborative work and the importance of working together as family, friends, community, country and world. In this art project we continue to melt all races into one, the blue race, with one goal, to enjoy life and the beauty of our blue planet.

I Am Water
Athena Sophia (Bonnie J. Warren & Carrie S. Reinking ) 2016 project, “I Am Water” was born when the artists began studying the physical motions of Wing Chun, Kung Fu, Artists and Bruce Lee’s desire to move more like water. They decided to explore his idea in painting while expanding the idea further from being more like water, to actually being the water, “I am water”. What does it mean to be water? Water can be soft or hard, calm or violent, it nourishes life and destroys life, changing into many forms, solid, gas and liquid. It is everything and nothing. Danielle Egnew writes about water and weaves it into a 2017 challenge for our USA. She says we can choose to be a stone or water. Those that choose to be more like water “are a river of the collective language of love, the most effective language of all human design. A river flows around obstacles, and keeps flowing. It doesn’t stop and argue with every stone, paranoid that its own rocky bed is intentionally attempting to change its direction....the water views the stones as part of the flow. The stones view the water as that which shapes them”. The Blue People in the “I am water” series and other works of Athena Sophia, not only represent the transformation of the physical body and mind to water, but allows all Earthlings to relate to the subjects and hopefully be inspired themselves to explore and contemplate the meaning that we are all water. Water, the Universal Solvent.
Sophia's Blue Fairy Tree of Life
I choose the peach tree as the Tree of Life because it is the tree of immortality and life everlasting. The peach tree is the Tree of Life for the blue fairies. Amongst the peaches are the ten spheres, or stations if you will, of the Qabalistic tree. These stations are aspects of life that we either find ourselves in at different points in our lives, or other times we aspire to with conscious focused study. It is something I continually find myself doing whether on purpose or by osmosis. It is always a growing experience, like the Tree of Life.
