Our blog-along beings today (in no particular order) with the beautifully rich and spiritually grounded in mother earth images of Meinrad Craighead. When I first saw Meinrad's images I was deeply intrigued and felt a profound connection, its like stepping into her dreamtime which is both personal and universal.

If you want to know more about her work, or to read some of her writings that accompany her work, "Crow, Mother and the Dog God" is the book that I have and love, covering several of her phases and including some of her prose.

Galia Alena
I’m a visual poet working in just about any medium I can lay my hands on although I am a professionally trained photographer and a so called “self-taught” artist (of course there have been many teachers on that path). I’m in love with the creative process. I’m a beauty unveiler, light huntress, moment caresser and visionary poetess. Ultimately, all of my work is about helping people peel back the layers to experience the intense beauty of each moment allowing access to both their intuitive wisdom and a deeper connection to spirit and self. (Because the beauty of this life cracks our hearts open and it is through the cracks that light can flow both in and out and connect us back to our divine selves) That is what I do and I do it through photography, art, journaling and teaching. I live in the insanely beautiful Blue Mountains, just shy of Sydney, with my family, our cat and all the winged ones who frequent our garden. Each day here is a wondrous delight of tiny miracles through either the glorious light or magical mists. I would love to work with you, have a look around and see where you are called... "Where I create, there I am true." Rilke
