R.I.P. DIESEL

R.I.P.
D I E S E L
8/28/09 - 5/24/12
(it was a slow death of  spirit starved by words of love fed by actions in lies)
Diesel recognized truth and her own salvation as clear as a tiger has stripes.
Diesel never met her match in her lifetime.
Sober and evolving.
She had the courage to do the work and the right thing.
She kept her word and honor as she went down the lazy river.
All that remains is a charcoal silver heart that had been a blaze.
Still burnt the remains.....they chime a prayer for health and wellness.
Prayers for those whom need them more.
Diesel embodied the truth of which could not be reflected.
Driven crazy, she was put to rest.
Bless Diesel's Spirited being and Protect her from the sick and ill of life.

Rest In Peace

Artist, Warrior Woman, Goddess and Mother

In The Beginning

Photograph of Lovers at Karen Cusolitos Infinitarium

BE ENLIGHTENED WITH LOVE IN YOUR PARTINGS 
TODAY the email reads, were no longer together; however we give you permission to use the image of us without our quotes. 
 My heart sunk as I have heard this story before.
Compassion and empathy for the heart aches and suffering of many, many times over till we meet our maker.
Not the first nor the last parting for lovers.  
I decided to write a little dedication to hold space for lovers past.  
To honor the love that was real and in that moment all that counted. 
 You can be at Burning Man with thousands and if your with the lover you want than only you two truly exist in time light and space.
O to the all LOVERS Great and Small may you learn the gifts of love and value what was to be what will be.
Well Wishes Always
In The Beginning

Passages In LOVE
Well worth The Embrace.
Embryo and fluid graced.
Fueling two Souls.
Merging and mingling.
A dance of desire for familiar.
Impermanent and precious.
Holding and adoring in rapture.
We breathe life into each other.
"this is not sex I am loving you."
Dreamlike treasure.
Lovemaking; our music; rhythm on fire.
The dance ends and we begin again.
Two souls that love each other for a time. 
It would be in genuine not to honor the Union of Lovers.
May your passages of love and self discovery awaken a newer sweeter you.
May you find a love that feeds your garden with delight purely and good intent Spiritually.

Always Love
karen kuehn
A big thank you to the couple here whom want to remain un named.
I bow to you both in your journey with a prayer especially for each of you.

Stop to Smell the Flowers


Stellar By Night

photographs in Brandon s dads paint booth.
HOME GROWN
Congratulations to New Mexico's local band Stellar By Night.
Brandon Roukus,  Bryant Gifford and Josh Best produced by Shane McConnell
Winning Best Metal Band.
Met Brandon years ago as a volunteer fire fighter.
He walked onto my property looking like Robert Plant.
It was a double take for me as he seemed out of place and character; a rocker in firefighting wardrobe!
As I got to know him and his dreams we began a friendship.
I needed some welding help and he needed photographs
He had a band and that was an easy hook up.
My sons father is a musician and produces TV spots and songs for bands/ singer song writers.  I did the introduction and Brandon and Shane have become a successful team.
This is their second award won together here in New Mexico.
Good Job Men.
