Comments: Andray met with Ethan, Roberto, and I at the last place I saw him 5 years ago. At the Lake. We shot a Smoke and Mirrors here to represent his past life as a lawyer to represent the Justice tarot card. On the drive towards the airport in his silver Porsche with his pink and white childhood bike fit perfectly in the trunk. We stopped in the midst of heavy traffic on the elevated highway turn. Got out of the car, pulled out the bike, and he jumped onto the ledge of the highway facing what felt like Gotham city itself. A hero and his inner child all at once. Andray balanced on the edge while cars were honking at us, I was laying on the ground in the road in a prone position trying to get the best angle. Got it! We hopped back into the car and sped all the way home. It was a shoot I will never forget. This time around when we started at the lake, we stayed at the lake until sunset. It was more calm and peaceful. Less chaotic and dangerous than the last shoot! There was a grounded stillness in the air and in his energy field. Forever a brother, a man and a healer who found his way home. I loved hearing his stories when he was practicing the spiritual path with our teacher Lindi. Where we had first met in Peru many suns and moons ago. I felt the ancestors presence in the room one night walk across my chest. Awakened from a dream with a physical force. Shamanic drumming in a cosmic trance without medicines opening the doorways of perceptions. The spirit animals came to us, I remember Kupka the Panda came to me. A panda that was angry and threatening the townspeople. No one understood and they had planned to capture Kupka. But before the villagers went on to track him down I found him and realized he was not angry at all, he was in pain! In the vision I was but a little monkey who approached the so called beast and pulled an arrow out of his achilles heel. Kupka was merciful and grateful for ending his suffering and patching up his wound he could not reach. We became friends and transported to many places until we reached a beach and I sat on his shoulders to look out at the sea. Kinda like we are looking out to the water in this portrait of Andray. The man who introduced me to Metatron's prayer, one of the Arch Angels divine architecture. I am grateful to call him a friend after almost 10 years of healing, plant ceremonies, and art projects. He and I have this quote we like to refer to from time to time to come back to center. We forget to remember that "WATER IS LIFE." It is the source and foundation of life as we know it, the first element that astronomers look for on distant exo-planets. Isn't it ironic that humans consist of about 71% water, which is the same amount that Earths surface has too?
