Every Day is Earth Day

And we have a holiday on April 22, dedicated to the idea that maybe Earth is worth a holiday, seeing as how it's actually our be all and will be our end all if we don't take better care of it.

Mother of all,
our home, our host,
Waits for what she needs the most:

Children who will not neglect her,
Who will honor and protect her.

There is no jewel of greater worth, to us,
Than our sweet home,
THE EARTH

~Janina Lamb

In honor of Earth Day, April 22, 2022, I am offering 10 signed copies of  the Earth Pledge poster, shipping included, for $24 each, here. Earth Pledge notecards are also available on this website. If you are interested in the history of this poster, read this article I wrote about it in 2017.

This is the End, My Friend...

I have been crying wolf for years now, saying that I am closing out my old stock without ever actually doing it completely. The time has come. One of my projects this year is to dispose of ALL my notecards, through selling and/or donating them. What used to be my shipping room is now my entranceway/mudroom and I need the shipping room aspects to disappear.

If you are interested in buying classic Lamb & Lion Studio cards visit notecards, etc. If you know of, or are associated with, any nonprofits that might like to have some of these cards to use, please let me know.

I am donating cards without envelopes and asking the recipients to pay for shipping. I’m starting with local nonprofits, but I will be offering card donations to any nonprofit doing the kind of work that fits with these cards. Below are a few of the available cards. See them all here.

And also the beginning...

Or 'every ending is a new beginning,' as they say in the TV show, A Discovery of Witches. I like stories that envision a world, or worlds, in which people, or 'creatures' (as the magic types are called in ADOW), are capable of allowing certain types of energy to work through them, with results that go beyond the usual time/space/matter systems we are used to.

Although I usually have picky, analytic questions about the internal logic in this kind of story, what I am drawn to are demonstrations of surrender to what is bigger than self, and the creative powers that confers. Surrender to what is bigger than self is magic. It's art. It's love. As my good friend says, it's spirit rising.

And that's what I want to do next. I want to surrender to my creative energy and will, and see what happens. I'm not saying anything is simple or easy. It's complicated and challenging. I have a bunch of ideas/desires/plans that I'm grappling with. We'll see what emerges.

The creation of something new
is not accomplished
by the intellect,
but by the play instinct
acting from inner necessity.
The creative mind plays
with the objects it loves.
Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

Art, like morality,
consists in drawing
the line somewhere.
~ Gilbert K. Chesterton

Lamb: my name, Leo: my sign, and I like the biblical "peace"
connotation of the lion and the lamb hanging out together.

For me, Lamb & Lion signifies external and internal,
body and soul, earth and sky, or any complementary duality
in which the sum is greater than the parts.

Form follows function –
that has been misunderstood.
Form and function should be one,
joined in a spiritual union.
~ Frank Lloyd Wright
