Since madonna draped herself in an American flag in 1990 and our country’s top musicians declared that “Censorship is un-American” in its first-ever campaign, Rock the Vote has engaged young people in the political process and built their collective power. Founded over twenty years ago at the intersection of popular culture and politics, Rock the Vote was created to support generations of young people who strive to create political and social change and get involved in the electoral process. The rock the Vote wall calendar features select posters used in the organization’s outreach over the last two decades, which provoked millions of young people to head to the polls. no matter which political party was in power, which celebrity topped the charts, whether a fax machine or Twitter was used to get the word out, Rock the Vote was there to educate and inform. Join us and continue rocking the vote in 2012.

Zen Cat Paintings

and

Poetry

Nicholas Kirsten-Honshin In the Zen Master’s own words, here is the story as it happened: “While I was quietly reading the Lotus Sutra, the Original Zen Cat, Miss Kitty, climbed onto my lap. As I continued to read, I became aware that her mind and mine were becoming one. She wanted me to read aloud to her. So I did. There she sat in meditation focused on the teachings as I read. Her appreciation and obvious understanding opened my own mind and heart to the oneness that exists, connecting all living beings in the gentle love and compassion that is in every precious moment.” The Zen Cat wall calendar is a meditation in art and words on the sacredness and interconnectedness of all life. Artist and author Nicholas Kirsten-Honshin uses painting and poetry to communicate a message from the pure heart of the universe. Nicholas Kirsten-Honshin’s art is also featured in the Thich Nhat Hanh wall calendar (page 25).

As one of the most exciting art movements of our time, environmental art celebrates our connection to the natural world through beauty, science, metaphor and ecological restoration. it encompasses a surprising landscape of approaches, from ephemeral art in nature sculpture designed to last only a few hours before returning to the earth, to communitybased eco-art installations which clean up polluted watersheds and promote public understanding of local and global environmental issues. The Environmental art wall calendar features fifteen projects drawn from the global archives of greenmuseum.org, a not-for-profit online museum of environmental art. They provide a sampling of some of the latest developments in this field to stimulate the imagination and promote the role of art in the creation of a more sustainable world culture.

CelTiC blessings illuminaTions

An often overlooked fact is that Celtic art is iconic for two very different worldviews: early Christianity and Paganism. This art form has come to play a role in the emergence of new Age wisdom as well. Celtic art and spirituality stand on an overlap between these different belief systems and act as links connecting them all. it is an exciting testament to the relevance and dynamism of this art that it continues to influence and thrive. michael Green’s Celtic Blessings wall calendar is a masterful marriage of these different worlds. Based on Celtic themes and early irish Christian illuminated manuscripts, Green reenvisions these genres into a stunning modern look that is firmly rooted in the past. At various times in his life, Green has been a wandering monk, artist and craftsman, television art director, architect, illustrator and author. His books include The I Ching Journals, The Illuminated Rumi, The Illuminated Prayer and The Unicornis Manuscripts (Amber Lotus, 2008). Celtic Blessings greeting cards (page 76) are also available.

K aren M ahony

and

The Zodiac

Alex Ukolov

Is your cat companion an adventurous Sagittarian or a mysterious, mystical Aquarian? In this newest glimpse into the world of the Bohemian Cats, the twelve zodiac signs are each represented by a feline character set against the most extravagantly flamboyant costumes and settings. We see Leo as the ringmaster of a very unusual circus, the elegant Ms. Virgo admiring the roses in her autumn garden, Scorpio as the black beauty who can tell your true fortune, and many more. Short accompanying texts give the characteristics of cats born under each sign. For lovers of cats, costumes, fairy tales and the gently bizarre, the exquisitely illustrated Bohemian Cats: The Zodiac wall calendar invites readers into a fantastical world where gorgeously dressed cats go about their business in a theatrical setting. Bohemian Cats is the creation of Praguebased Baba Studio, which focuses stylistically on magic realism and philosophically on projects that encourage inclusiveness, imagination and empathy. Their work has been shown in design magazines worldwide, including US Print, UK’s Eye and Design Week, Portugal’s Parq and France’s Creation.

Hidden Messages by

Dr. M asaru Emoto

Water

Renowned scientist Masaru Emoto has discovered that molecules of water are affected by our thoughts, words and feelings. Using high-speed microphotography, Dr. Emoto demonstrates that tiny crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward them. In the Hidden Messages in Water wall calendar, these stunning microscopic photos have been greatly magnified to reveal their profound beauty to the naked eye. The implications of this research create a new awareness of how we can positively impact the world around us. Because humans and the earth are composed mostly of water, his message is one of personal health, global environmental renewal and a practical plan for peace that starts with each of us.

Fractal Cosmos The Art

Alice Kelley

Fractals are the visual depictions of mathematical equations, the same equations, in fact, that describe natural phenomena such as coastlines, plant shapes and weather patterns. A computer program assigns a color to each point in the image based on the answers to a chosen equation, which then results in abstract fractal shapes. Dozens of variables are manipulated in order to create these fascinating images. The Fractal Cosmos wall calendar features the organic designs of Alice Kelley, who says, “Fractals are an intuitive glimpse into the infinite order that composes the natural world, as well as being proof that math is beautiful.”

Guardian Cemeteries and Their Sentinels •

Angi Sullins and Silas Toball

Take a journey through the pages of this calendar to discover the hauntingly romantic stone spirits of Eastern European cemeteries. Angels, knights, maidens and cherubs keep watch over humanity’s most sacred ground. They are the soul-watchers, the wish-weavers, the prayerkeepers. Theirs is a song of twilight, emerging from the space between here and there, a living shrine of transformation, burning like a star in God’s palm. Look deep. Listen deeper. They sing of truth, of beauty, of love eternal and of the human spirit guided home. The Guardian: Cemeteries and Their Sentinels wall calendar was conceived and created by Angi Sullins and Silas Toball of Duirwaigh, Inc. Their hauntingly beautiful photographs of statues, gravestones and funerary monuments were captured on a journey between This Place and That and later rendered into the film Guardian. 51399

Tibet

Despite continued censorship and harsh penalties for opposing the Chinese Communist Party, there has been a vibrant literary and cultural resurgence in Tibet since 2008, when protests against government policy and calls for the return of the Dalai Lama swept across the plateau. Tibetan writers, singers and poets, fluent in Chinese as well as Tibetan, have begun a movement re-asserting their Tibetan identity. By daring to refute China’s official characterization of Tibet, this new generation of Tibetans represents a profound challenge to the ruling Communist Party and, as a result, those who break the silence put themselves at great risk. Tibet: Breaking the Silence features excerpts of poems, essays and songs translated into English and accompanied by the images of Tibet they evoke. Through the featured writing and photography, ICT seeks to highlight the courage and eloquence of the Tibetan people while providing another opportunity for their voices to be heard. 12" x 12" Wall Calendar $13.99 USD ISBN 978-1-60237-480-5 UPC 762109-04805-4

Where there is understanding, there is love.

When we know how to listen deeply and how to breathe deeply in mindfulness, everything becomes clear and deep.

chuang tSu : inner chaPterS 35Th anniversary ediTion

TransLaTed by Gia-fu fenG and Jane enGLish

brilliant, mystical, pragmatic and witty, some have called chuang tsu the world’s first anarchist. even 2,000 years after the author’s death, this provocative taoist text remains in the forefront of ancient chinese philosophical study. Chuang Tsu: Inner Chapters is a spiritual classic in its own right and a source book second only to its companion, the Tao Te Ching, in importance in the taoist canon. the sublime prose serves as a profound and paradoxical commentary to the Tao Te Ching. ”Chuang Tsu is full of humor. He talks about a human being learning about age, death, conflict and becoming enlightened in the moment of living. He talks about how to dance with problems.” — chungliang al Huang , author of Embrace Tiger, Return to Mountain

His path took him to esalen in big sur and the human potential movement of the 1960s. eventually he founded stillpoint, a community of taoist families living simply and honestly with each other in nature. first-time author carol ann Wilson has received several finalist nominations for Still Point of the Turning World from awarding institutions such as the next Generation indie book awards and the colorado authors’ League awards.
