Myrrh was helping in a black neighborhood where Mothers For Equal Education started Nairobi Day School in 1966. Myrrh painted this for them. Later, the founder, Gertrude Wilks, spoke out against drug dealers. They burned down the building where this was hanging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1617845041320-XRZ8Q2RDT74YCLNT1ZRV/70+Child-Father+8%EF%80%A0.jpg Through Recent History with Myrrh - 1969 – Poster To benefit Nairobi School.

Poster In 1964, LBJ made what had been a small effort in Vietnam into an all-out war. Nixon continued it in 1969. Myrrh made this woodcut poster in 1971 when peace protests had been unable to stop it. Two years later, Myrrh collaged the latest war news on it. Communist North Vietnam overcame the South, our ally, in 1975. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1397536682036-U4QEY4OY9LE0CZ9VHUT7/1973-JamesMcCord.jpg Through Recent History with Myrrh - 1973 – James McCord, Watergate When the burglars at the Watergate Hotel were caught at Democratic Headquarters in 1972, they followed instructions to keep quiet about connections to the Nixon White House.

Spray can graffiti done at night on idle, unguarded subway cars, was everywhere. Meanwhile, in the disintegrating Bronx, Hip Hop was being born.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1397536693661-V8G3MTLXSOTGE2U4RG1W/1986NY-Subway.jpg Through Recent History with Myrrh - 1984 – New York Subway Myrrh visited New York in 1984. Graffiti outside the trains could be entertaining. Inside the cars it felt like an invasion. This made the subway system seem like the intestines of the city. By 1988, it had all been cleaned up. The cleanliness seemed magical! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1397541134054-IF168GN4D3UJGQVML52A/1987NuclearYosemite.jpg Through Recent History with Myrrh - 1983 – Nuclear Spring in Yosemite "Nuclear Winter" was the result predicted in 1983 of in all – out nuclear war. Soot in the stratosphere could dim the sun enough to prevent plants from growing. Myrrh imagined the aftermath. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1397581009494-KZ00YZE4607ROQDDZY45/1985-Peace-Banner.jpg Through Recent History with Myrrh - 1985 – Peace Spreads like Wildflowers In 1982, Justine Merritt conceived The Ribbon to tie a ribbon around the Pentagon. When Reagan called the USSR "the evil Empire" in 1983 fears about nuclear war escalated. Thousands sewed three-foot strips for The Ribbon. On the 40th anniversary of Hiroshima, they paraded 10 miles of them in Washington; on the same day, they encircled the monument in Hiroshima. Several women helped Myrrh embroider this one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1397536682601-F5TX5H3CEYXL3RW1CKDF/1986-Cooperate%21Yesterday%21.jpg Through Recent History with Myrrh - 1985 – Don't Wait to Cooperate! During Reagan's second term, the 1985 meeting with the new Soviet leader, Gorbachev, changed Reagan. He began working to reduce the threat of war – a bit. Today, his former Secretary of State, George Shultz, is a leader in the move to rid the world of nuclear weapons. 90% of them have been dismantled, but one is too many. 90% of stockpiles have been destroyed.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1397536688889-VQECR0NZMOL0223HVL9P/1987-Reagan-fist.jpg Through Recent History with Myrrh - 1980 – Civil War The United States sided with the oligarchs in El Salvador’s Civil War that flared in 1980, part of Reagan's anti-Communist strategy in Central America.

When a large variety of chemicals, or materials, or ideas are available, it means that some will combine in a novel way to produce an effect that has an emergent property. Myrrh has been attracted to “emergent phenomena” at certain boundaries, like between non-life and life... also attracted to “criticality,” that feature of complex systems that makes the usual behavior of digestion, of forests or of Wall Street trading possible, yet vulnerable.   https://www.myrrh-art.com/patterns-in-nature daily 0.75 2014-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1395722376244-DM0N683HK33TOJF4N9QW/69skirt.png Patterns in Nature - E Pluribus Unum skirt The title is Latin for "from many, one."

Geologic maps are psychedelic! The colors represent types of rock. Red is igneous rocks, like lava. Pale yellow indicates gravels washed down from neighboring mountains. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1395722393373-Q0ZTREMXLGXT4P1AYOO2/NASA-Appalachian2.png Patterns in Nature - Appalachians Another process that imitates natural patterns, she created “mountains” by crumpling paper and spray painting it with different colors, using dark colors for the shadows. Afterward. she flattened it, but it retained a 3D appearance. The Appalachians have rows of ridges, owing to the horizontal layers of sediments that were folded like corrugated cardboard by the forces of continental drift. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1395722394926-QP5U21R2GJH8172XZM51/NASA-DrownedCoastline.png Patterns in Nature - Drowned Coastline Three more crumpled paper paintings: In this one, Myrrh painted all turquoise first, and protected some of it with sand. This became “ocean.“ Then, she painted the still-exposed paper with earth colors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1395722397323-L2125CRQJ567G1O5W7L6/NASA-My+Father%27sWorld.png Patterns in Nature - My Father's World The paper she deformed was a map her father edited. In the middle of the “mountains” you find Chicago!

In the flat land, a river can snake back and forth. Crumplling can’t create one. The river was pasted into the gap from another map. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1395722398666-NKSFAP2GDE2VOXTDGLEV/NASA-VolcanoesLeak.png Patterns in Nature https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1395722401726-P1CJ1XEX1YMWHR2Q329D/Shib-Kirlian.png Patterns in Nature - Kirlian Leaf Kirlian photographs capture a halo effect of natural specimens by placing them on an electrically-charged photographic plate in a dark room. The Japanese craft of shibori, related to tie dye, also creates these halos. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1395722402286-ZH3HQA5U4LQYKPT0QRZ1/Shibori-FigLeaf.png Patterns in Nature - Fig Leaf The principle of tie dye is to bind fabric so only some of it gets the dye. By sewing running stitches in cloth that can be gathered tightly, they can easily “draw” bamboo leaves. Myrrh tried this on a large, intricate leaf. The deep blue is indigo dye. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1395722400636-AO8JTGWMRGJ78N0SJN81/shib-DragonflyWing.png Patterns in Nature - Dragonfly Wing Myrrh, with her understanding of patterns, undertook subjects not found in Japanese shibori.

Liman Chief Counsel for the Iran-Contra Committee, Liman saw Iran-Contra as a deliberate effort to conduct foreign policy in secret by using a private organization motivated by profit and accountable to no one. He used his experience as a brilliant prosecuting attorney to elicit damning information. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1399682254445-J515TFYN1SZC7G44WK9A/2+Secord2.2.jpg 1987 Iran-Contra Scandal - Richard V. Secord An ex-Air Force major general and ex-CIA agent, Secord teamed up with Albert Hakim in 1983 to start The Enterprise. Beginning 1985, it operated sub rosa Contra aid activities for their friend, Oliver North; in 1986, it became an agent for selling arms to Iran—all this for a hefty profit. It was patterned on CIA covert operations, but avoided supervision by congress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1399682255386-UFKXQTN4UMK9N1UTH0YP/3+Gorbanifar2.jpg 1987 Iran-Contra Scandal - Manuchar Ghorbanifar (Didn't testify). An Iranian insider so indispensable to the CIA and the NSC, they kept working with him even though he repeatedly lied. He pulled the White House into wild deals with Iran, and none went well. He persuaded the US to secretly sell TOW missiles to Iran for its war with Iraq, thus violating an embargo. In exchange, Iran would release US hostages in Lebanon, (but almost none were). Meanwhile The Enterprise was using profits from the deal to aid the Contras (and enrich themselves). When a Lebanese newspaper broke the story, the scandal was exposed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1399682255199-K35511035155R3512ZFM/4+McFarlane2.jpg 1987 Iran-Contra Scandal - Robert McFarlane Former Marine Robert McFarlane was National Security Advisor from 1984 to 1985 when the Boland Amendment forbad any activities to support the Contras by the CIA or DOD. Dubious about President Reagan’s use of the NSC staff in the White House to evade the Amendment, he nevertheless obeyed orders. Col. Oliver North worked under him, but did not tell McFarlane all he was doing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1399682255791-2HSA38938439AL293D2C/6+Calero2.jpg 1987 Iran-Contra Scandal - Adolfo Calero Adolfo Calero was leader of one of three Contra groups trying to overthrow the left-wing Sandinista government in Nicaragua, 1979 to the early 90s, targeting social and economic targets, kidnapping, torturing and killing civilians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1399682256150-RFVKKXSAXZIT0BG4R2B8/7+Dutton2.jpg 1987 Iran-Contra Scandal - Robert Dutton Dutton was a retired Air Force colonel. He ran a private group that airdropped weapons and medical supplies to the Contras. North assured him that they were working directly for the President. In 1986, Nicaraguans captured a pilot, which exposed part of the plot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1399682256372-EEWGTOB4CDU0SQGV9L1F/8+Rodriguez2.jpg 1987 Iran-Contra Scandal - Felix Rodriguez During the Contra operation in Nicaragua, he managed the shipments of arms to Nicaragua, and of cocaine coming back to the US.

Then, both lethal and humanitarian aid flowed, and he knew it. In 1991, he pleaded guilty to withholding his knowledge from Congress. Later pardoned by the elder President Bush. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1399682256945-TFG984R06LQOL58PIOC5/11+Hakim2.jpg 1987 Iran-Contra Scandal - Albert Hakim An Iranian-born American citizen who was co-conspirator with Richard Secord in The Enterprise. Both were charged with concealing the size of their personal profits from weapons sales to Iran and the Contras.

She aided in the coverup by helping North alter, shred, and remove official United States NSC documents from the White House, some by concealing them in her clothes. The two wanted to remove all documents about the diversion of Iranian funds to the Contras, but one remained! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1399682258699-IMNMR1A9UUZ5N1SY5E8T/13+Ollie+North2.jpg 1987 Iran-Contra Scandal - Oliver North North was on the National Security Counsel staff in the White House. Unlike the CIA, it was not subject to congressional oversight. He hired Secord to run a CIA-type operation. Hewas the representative to the Contras, giving them US intelligence illegally. He set up a military system, gradually gaining oversight of every phase if it. He made and executed policies. Only National Security Counsel McFarlane and McFarlane’s successor, Poindexter, got his reports. It was all unconstitutional, but he portrayed himself as the victimized hero, and mostly got off scot-free. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1399682260522-YQ1VS88EJXKJAY4P8ZGR/14+Poindexter2.jpg 1987 Iran-Contra Scandal - John Poindexter Poindexter became National Security Adviser (NSA) after Robert McFarlane, and was North’s boss. Counsel Liman wrote: “He had briefed the president every morning on matters affecting national security. Among the topics were the missile sales to Iran and the secret support of the Contras.” He thought staff responsibility was to protect its leader. Is this why, when the scandal broke, Reagan sounded sadly misinformed? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1399682259391-Z4JJB9QCP4TONTQAI6EP/15+Meece2.jpg 1987 Iran-Contra Scandal - Edwin Meece, III, Attorney General In January 1986 he wrote a legal opinion that the secret arms sales to Iran were legal, in spite of the embargo. On November 3, 1986, a Lebanese newspaper reported the sale. After the administration beat around the bush, Meese’s press conference on November 25 revealed the diversion of funds from Iran arms sales to the Contras. He spoke carefully to cover up the extent of the plot. The same day, Poindexter resigned and North was fired. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1399682259995-XNRKCYYRQFIH88CRNJ54/16+DonRegan2.jpg 1987 Iran-Contra Scandal - Donald Regan As White House chief of staff Regan controlled access to the President, attended daily national security briefings on how to manage the Iran Contra scandal and the public.

Yet, when asked to arrange arms transfers in February 1986, he found a sutrefuge to evade the embargo. In 1991, after the Hearings, thousands of pages of his notes were found in the Library of Congress, and he was charged with perjury and obstruction. The elder President Bush pardoned him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1399682261987-BO8RA2AVQ79LWZVXXGV1/18+Shultz2.jpg 1987 Iran-Contra Scandal - George Shultz President Reagan was stubbornly committed to the Contra cause, and ignored Shultz’ advice to stay within the law. And, Reagan’s instinct was to free hostages at whatever cost. When trading arms for hostages was proposed at a meeting on August 6, 1985, Shultz and Weinberger strenuously objected. When the scandals began to erupt, Shultz was the one who related all the facts to Reagan, and showed him how he had been misled. https://www.myrrh-art.com/metaphysics daily 0.75 2023-09-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1617840460193-RATS2BRJKIBMW5MA531S/Yin_and_Yang.jpg Metaphysics – A personal journey - Deep Yin + Yang During wartime and internal turmoil in 1970, my youthful optimism was chastened by the shadow side of existence.

The Klein bottle, curious object that has only one surface, neither inside nor outside, was a pale metaphor for my experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1618098282367-JXX5FWIX9EE32UCATB0H/Artist+in+Res_900px.jpg Metaphysics – A personal journey - Artist in Resonance In my multifaceted life, I felt a balance. like these mythical “magnets,” poised between opposites, resonating, holding it together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1399242539337-TRTKE17K1AHZKHZYWXTK/Bo+Zozoff+quote.jpg Metaphysics – A personal journey - The Light, but also the Practice “Certainly there are spiritual practices beyond description to explore, but as we mature, it becomes clear that those special experiences are only meaningful when they arise from and return to a life of ordinary kindness.” —Bo Lozoff, Prison Ashram Project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1398487995859-ISLGXF2XAQB7V3VXXM36/k-Data+is+not...jpg Metaphysics – A personal journey - Data is not Knowledge How we know, and the limits of our knowledge, compels my attention. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1398487994613-EVU4835C4PS8SIDSCCSG/k-At+the+Edge+NBS.jpg Metaphysics – A personal journey - On the Edge of Not Being Seen Even small objects below the resolving power of microscopes intrigue me. Physicists are going to the ends of the earth and putting instruments in outer space to detect things like Dark Matter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1398405398708-S7K76FSSGL5G3STB9CFJ/k-Benzene.jpg Metaphysics – A personal journey - Benzene In many cases no one model describes something rather complicated, like benzene, so scientists use multiple working hypotheses. The structure of benzene was a puzzle until the chemist, Kekulé, had a dream of a snake biting its tail. But a simple diagram of a ring of atoms didn’t describe all its behaviors. Another example is light, which seems to be a wave when measured some ways, particles when measured other ways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1466189081023-HFQQ84MTZ4A6UP07BM68/Divinity+triptich.jpg Metaphysics – A personal journey - Divinity The problem of whether light is a particle or a wave suggested a way of looking at the Divine. Is God a noun (with an emphasis on certainty)? Is God a verb (with an emphasis on ever-changingness)? I created a moiré pattern for the central image, made up of two layers, dots and radiating stripes. It creates a third pattern indescribable on a flat surface. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1398298183386-FO1OL5UVIPLNTWU105R8/k-Paradox.jpg Metaphysics – A personal journey - Paradox: Dynamism Not so long ago, we all thought of stars as white and unchanging in the pure black of outer space. Space telescopes reveal colorful stars that are born, behave, and eventually die. Swirling clouds of cosmic dust create new stars. Theories and doctrines are as fragile as spiderwebs over the abyss of what is really out there. Only the Buddhist “Noble Truth” that all is impermanence seems to hold. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1466135908220-13WSAIHZBJ1YGHAF0SNV/Shib-Spirit+Moves%2Csm.jpg Metaphysics – A personal journey - The Spirit Moves Nevertheless, we feel the movement of Spirit within us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1466136113698-I4N49PK7OJEBDM747B08/WAY+WILL+OPEN-sm.jpg Metaphysics – A personal journey - Way Will Open Amidst discouragement, it may come to us.

Study theology, and you will find paradoxes like free will vs. predestination. Study physics and you will encounter a paradox when describing light. Mystics discover deep, nourishing intimations of something beyond doctrines and theories. Deeper still is a beyond that we will never know. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/52f4189de4b0ec7646cbb83c/1398493627931-TXUS84HPAQFNFDMOQS1Q/z-Einstein.jpg Metaphysics – A personal journey "People like you and I, though mortal of course, like everyone else, do not grow old, no matter how long we live.
