FacesInNature.com is dedicated to Nature and all Beings living in love and gratitude. **************************************************************************************************************** Aloha, I'm Christine Marya Page, from Washington DC, and I'm happy to present my visual art inspired in humble beginnings at the Smithsonian Institution, at a time when I photographed landscapes for fun while publishing books and magazines with the pros. Family took me to California where I developed my portrait style, and studied with an amazing healer, who among others, truly changed my life! Deirdre still responds that she merely gave me the tools so that I could change who I am, however, I give her more credit than that. She was, in herself, a Star -- a guide to stay centered on my path. Now inspired in an island paradise called Maui, I bring to you in these pages some of those "tools," subtle yet powerful means of reconnecting to Spirit -- re-membering (re-joining) -- communicating within our inner planes of Self, thoughts and feelings, a treasure of gifts that can, if we choose to, change who we are -- what we are thinking, feeling, doing, and most importantly, how we are BEING. Each of us is an artist, a creator, a work of art in process, experiencing and growing. As Kahlil Gibran said, 'Work is love made visible.' Self expression is an art in communication in whatever form we choose. In my images I feel I bring along an element often forgotten in our fast-paced habitual world -- the blessings, reverence and sanctity of Life. Actually God's greatest gift IS Nature. It's us! Love and thanks to the pros of my youth: Jake and Susanne Page, for teaching me what wonderful means!, sparking the creative juices, adopting me as family, leading me to my global family via the Hopi and Navajo, and honoring me with permission to use Page as my pro name. Kenneth L. and Lucy Morton Garrett, Caren Keshishian Sage, Ann Beasley, for teaching me true professionalism at it's best. Blessings! Special thanks to the creators and Stars of "The Secret" for the recent global awakening, especially James Arthur Ray for grabbing me when I was lost, bringing me to a new level of cognizance and gratitude, fanning my flames of possibility! James truly is a gift, a beacon beating the action drum and beaming the prosperity Ray, the best kind of super-coach, a Treasure of Love. Mahalo James, you ROCK!" Enjoy the bounty, plaster it on your mirrors and walls and share the joy! Share the love! May peace dwell within and surround us all. Mahalo, With Love and Gratitude!
