Missouri's Energy Vortex

9/17/2019

 
If I create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.” Marc Chagall

​On a couple occasions I have referred to Elephant Rocks as Missouri’s Energy Vortex.  It’s one of the reasons I go there, time and time again. I want to experience it in all its seasons and moods.  I love it just before sunset when it’s quiet, and I have it all to myself. I love being there on a busy Saturday afternoon, when its filled with a bus load of children, laughing, screaming as they jump from rock to rock.  I like experiencing it alone on a cold, blustery winter day just to be reminded life ain’t easy.  It’s also why I’ve spent the last year painting Mid-America’s high energy place.

Elephant Rocks, Summer Two  24X36 Oil on Canvas
​Have you been to Sedona, Arizona? It’s world famous for its energy vortexes. I’ve experienced the famed energy vortexes of Cathedral Rock, Oak Creek Canyon, Bell Rock and Buddha Beach. Yes, the red rock country of Sedona is absolutely beautiful, but the only real energy I’ve found was being expended by the Chamber of Commerce and the local businesses in their attempt to seduce tourist to come there and spend money. Five dollar a car parking just to see a panoramic view of the Sedona skyline.  Thirty-minute waits to drive five blocks through Sedona's packed downtown on a spring weekend, overpriced hotels and tourists tripping over each other hiking to Buddha Beach.  Is that the type of energy vortex you want?  Give me Elephant Rocks. It’s quiet, its free and it's beautiful.
​Energy Vortex's are really within each of us. If you want to experience an energy vortex all you need is a quiet place where you can hear your heart and feel a breeze on your face. That’s what Elephant Rocks offers. It's a far better place.
