Alphabet Whimsies |
This is a small sample, a few
pages, of the current booklet I am working on. These whimsical,
elaborately decorated ABCs will spark the imagination and ignite
an interest in language and learning. |
Cosmic Dream Book |
This is not a children's story book,
it's an adult story book. It's an imaginative cartoon telling of
my journey as a late blooming flower child in the mid 1970s. (18.6 MB)
It's a black & white version. The color version did not
survive as well as I. We are all on a journey. This is part of
one. |

Self-Portraits:
Part 1 /
Part 2 |
Part 1(4.96
MB)
and Part 2-(7.6
MB) This is a collection of self-portraits I have done through the
years. Some are very simple and some are very deep. Making
self-portraits allowed exploration into questions like "Who am
I?", "Why am I here?", What is my responsibility to myself,
others, my community?". A variety of media was
used to create these self-portraits. |

Free Downloads - This section includes original, colorful,
whimsical blank note greeting card designs, and
lists of sayings & ideas to write in your cards.
Borderless printing on quality, bright white
card stock or photo paper will produce the best
results. Cosco sells Kirkland Professional
glossy 150 per box-good value. The glossy side gives a
quality print; the mat back side is a good
writing surface. I buy bulk envelopes, A9
(5 3/4 x 8 3/4)-24ww, from
www.ActionEnvelope.com . All designs
are the original art work of "Mo" M.C.Gillis. The majority of
the art is done in colored pencil. I favor pencil, but
like to experiment and learn about other media. |

Songs: |
This section includes free downloads of a small sample of
original and reworked songs in various stages of development. With such
a wide variety of interests, I juggle them. Music is due to come
back around. |
A Rainbow Bright |
Words |
An optimistic song from
my heart to yours. I wrote this for my
students so they would hear in song how important diversity is
to our world. |
Change is Coming Soon
|
Words |
This song is about
envisioning the changes we would like to see
and be in ourselves and in the world. |
Fight |
Words |
This is a
rough draft. I have another version in the
works, but how long that will take I can't
say. So keep that in mind as you listen.
The pace of the song is fast to mimic the pace of an escalating
argument. The more communication skills improve, the less
fighting takes place. |
Journey |
Words |
This song
needs to be re-recorded so it matches the
updated lyrics in the PDF file. The new
lyrics are a bit more thoughtful and
indicate we all play a part in the condition
of our world and in where we would like it
to go from here. This song version has
a bit of a blaming tone which has been removed with the updated
words. |
Kick Out
Those Troubles |
Words |
This
song reminds me to give the blues,
troubles, a good
boot, and not let fear, doubt, or worry
get the better of me, and instead to grab a
little peace of mind. |
The Circle Can Not Be Broken |
Words |
This is not an
original song of mine. The old spiritual tune is Will the
Circle Be Unbroken? I adapted the words
so it rings more true to me when I sing it. I know, in my
heart of hearts, the Circle Can Not Be Broken. We
are all one. |
This Will Be The Last Time |
Words |
Learning to
love was often a struggle for me.
Especially when it came to loving myself.
It's easier all the way around now. It is a
choice that gets easier and easier every
time I make it. This song is a little
sad, but I know there is light at the end of every tunnel if we
choose to open our eyes, hearts and minds. |
|
|
The more we love,
the more we can love. That is the foundational
principle upon which expanding heart is built, yours
and mine. |
We all can make a difference, one
expanding heart at a time. |
