The Peace Love and Understanding Coloring Book

And this, through the eyes of a soulful Child....No words needed.

Little Madison Campbell Butler colored this page from The Peace Love and Understanding Coloring Book... and in doing so, she painted the world as One.  All of us.  One human kind existing together.... all colors, all genders, all orientations, religions, ethnicities and ages....

Her vision is mine.  And I hope, yours....

One world.  One love...

May the Circle be unbroken.....

The Trip at Dusk

We parked under the humming halo light,
the sound of electricity, a thousand mosquitos strong...
and parked her there,
facing the night~time road
while we wandered like hippies do....

And when we returned,
a love note was tucked under the wipers,
not signed,
but sent with peace and love....

Just like hippies do....

Peace is a Living Word...
Singleton Hippie Art

"We all knelt down,
knees and toes on the soft brown earth...
electric blue skies warming us,
blanketing us
in peace....
...

And we began to dig,
to softly till the dirt,
to scatter wild seeds of love
where footprints once were..
And we quietly watched as
our Garden grew...
Peace is a living word....."

Let the Spirits in, Let the Spirits out....

"The Spirits Fall in,
Fall out, Dancing all about...
hiding in the attic, playing little games,
spinning vinyl static,
They never go by their names.

Listen very quietly,
Listen with your heart,
Their voices are woven into and out of the Art...
     String singing in the wind,
     The dusty dance of butterflies as they spin...

The Spirits fill the beginning,
The Spirits fill the end...."

©Singleton Artwork and poetry

A simple little Spirit house to nest the restless souls that flitter about, tugging on our heartstrings, hanging in our pasts....a simple little place for them to coexist with now and tomorrow, to join us as one....in the beginning, and the end.....



Created with peace and love and believing, and being shown on November 29th, at the Deland Indie Market Holiday Edition.  Much Peace!

Peace, Love, and a New Sewing Machine

She's always There, Watching ...... Singleton Hippie Peace Angel

(C) Singleton, All rights protected

I see her everywhere...
on the tea stained wings of  fallen butterflies...
in the empty clam shells on the shoreline, houses long abandoned...
in the bath powder clouds patted across the skies...

I hear her
in the music of old bamboo chimes, telling stories in the wind...
on the scratchy vinyl spinning in our living room,
in the sound of the laughter,
of babies and strangers and maybe, even ghosts..

She's here.

Watching...
Protecting...

Keeping her promise. 

Peace.
It's everywhere we find it....

I'm so Glad you Found Me.... Singleton Hippie Art on found wood

I'm so glad you Found me.....
Words and Artwork
(c) Singleton

I was,
swishing, pushing,
trying to hold my breath long enough
to rise up again,
to swim up...
when I found Peace at
the sandy bottom....
where all the dreams are tossed
to sink,
abandoned,
traded for another day...

And there in the dark...
I heard you...
barely making a splash...
diving
deeper,
hoping to find your own answers...

I'm so Glad you Found me, instead.....

Touching Sirena, Singleton Hippie Art on hand drum

TOUCHING SIRENA
(c) Singleton
Hippie Art on Giant Gourd Hand Drum


"The dirty sands shifted,
ever so slightly,
and sunlight scattered through the darkness....
instant fireflies falling in the rheumy river....

She reached up and touched one....
two...
caught another...
building a candelabra
from the shattered rays
to light her way....
As
the currents crawled,
trickled, tripped,
snaked
through the woods....
running north, north east...
clinging to the thick earth,
sloshing past alligator eyes...
and banjos
until
Sirena,
swimming amongst the Manatee,
reached the salty sea.....
and the waters made brackish love to each other....

Here,
she became whole again...
The free spirited  Hippie Princess of the River,
and Mermaid of the Sea...
Sweet Sirena...
Mother of it all....

We Circled the Moon, Singleton Hippie Art

We Circled The Moon
(c) Singleton, Hippie Art and Words

I watched your fingers...palms...
dancing,
falling,
catching themselves again in a tribal dance of weightlessness....
drumming....

Your blue eyes,
endless tidal pools,
swirling in the warm waters of new and old....
clashing,
crashing,
splashing together...

And listened to your spirit,
singing in a thousand tongues...
a love language that only we understood...

We circled the moon,
and scattered the stars....
Psychedelic confetti for another day......."

Arjana Rising...

ARJANA RISING
(c) Singleton 2015

"The night fell off her shoulders,
a silky vintage nightgown
slipping to the floor,
sliding down the banks into the blue river...

And he embraced her.
Ran his fingers across her lips,
and began to drum quietly on her flesh,
to paint her with the  rhythm of
his dreams...
to lift her up....
to watch her
Dance....
into the new day rising....

Paradise at his fingertips...."

THE SPELL SPINNER
Singleton Hippie Art 
Words and Art Copyright 2014

" I kicked the dirt,
and didn't look up....
didn't catch your eyes catching mine,
but felt them...
a Butterfly net softly capturing my lashes...

and I 
kept walking...

And then it was,
The  heat,
the Hello that didn't happen,
the wild current of electricity,
sweet serendipity,
almost  meant-to-be,
but not-just-yet,
fate....

That Almost tripped me up....

We were spinning spells....

And we had just begun...."

Peace is my Every Wish, Singleton Hippie Art and Words

I bit my lip,
and twirled my hair,
into knotted cinnamon twists,
dangling......

And in the forced damp air
of the vintage camper....

I counted....
forced myself to wonder,

to wander,

to dream
of The Ten Desires...


And made it to seven....
in my tin can heaven...

The Tinker Man Bells, Singleton Hippie Art Backpack

"I know where I'm going,
 I wander freely, and watch for little trip~me~ups along the way,
but it's the spirit of the Tinker Man,
with all his magic,
keeping a safe eye,
on

all behind me....

With His little bag of sticks and stones,
clickety clackity Karma,
he's there...
while I dance in the dirt,
laugh in the Moonshine,
Sing with the Serpents...
He's there
in the shadows
watching....

And I wander on...."

Words and Artwork (c) Singleton 2012

A tea dyed cotton backpack embellished with a little hand painted peace~love patch and the All-seeing-eye, a Tribute to the Tinker Man....And the magic sound of bells in the wind:)

Over My Blue Moon, Singleton Hippie Art

Over My Blue Moon
Singleton Hippie Art

I looked over your shoulder,

past your drunken rheumy brown eyes and
into the deep sea of the night time sky....

and there...
just over the Tip~toe Tree,

I saw it beginning to show,
to glow,
to grow....

The First Full Moon....
The Sturgeon Moon....

so Bright and incandescent and foolish
that it wore a petticoat of Goldshine
as it teeterd in the sky,
as wobbly on the skyline as you were on cheap wine and all my stories.....

And we laughed...

And embraced the wildness of our first full moon,
the one before the meteor showers.....
the one before the Blue, Blue Moon of Once Upon a Time...



Artwork and words (c) Singleton 2012

Created with peace, love, and a hangover....on the morning after the stars fell at the feet of the first full moon.....

The Psychedelic Forest, Singleton and Singleton Hippie Flash Art

The Psychedelic Forest
(c) Singleton and Singleton

"We camped on the Banks of the River,

Nesting under a Full Moon that
rolled over into the morning ,
an open armed Sunrise....

Night eyes watched our every move,
listened to our laughter,
  windchimes in the dark,

and waited....
for our breathing
to fall into quiet rhythm with the water....

Waited for us to sleep.....

To dream.....


And then they danced around us....
Faeries and Things that go Boo! in the night....

Wild ones, and winged ones,
and Spirits from before....

Alive....
In the Psychedelic Forest......"

My Tribal Heart, Hippie Singleton, Spirit Shaker

.

My Tribal Heart
Hippie Singleton, Spirit Shaker
"We went deep,
deeper into the woods
until the smell of the earth,
the dirt...
was as cool
and damp
and delicious
as
chocolate cake.....

until the sky was feather painted through a thousand
cracks in the canopy of green overhead...

And there we pitched our tents....
to Wait...."

Words and Works (c) Singleton

Made from the cured branches of a crepe myrtle, this little wish bone shaped shaker is adorned with a mighty collection of created, found and collected items....Meant to be cherished forever...to be added to in bits and pieces ....And to be smiled on...when little trinkets fall off and join the party of happenstance wherever they land.....

The Psychedelic Promise, Singleton Hippie Art

The Psychedelic Promise
(c) Singleton 2012 word and Artwork

"I teetered...

quietly leaning into the white tunnel...
pretending I was only tripping....
and just before I crossed over
into the Peaceful arms of
the whiteness....

I remembered the colors....
the sounds,
the smells,
the laughter of Life
and I remembered I wasn't finished....

Not yet.....

And I fell back,
fell foward
to
the new now,
landing smack into the eye of the storm,
into the littered aftermath of the beginning,
and the quiet lull before the end still to come...

Fell quietly into your arms,
and
the psychedelic promise...."

111x 15" Psychedelic tribute to the Circle of Life:)  Watercolors, markers and peace and love....
