Excerpts & Quotes



"LIFE BLENDING
was born on the
West Coast of Florida… in the Tampa Bay Area"

From PREFACE – Page 10
HAL STOWERS & THE ART OF LIFE BLENDING®



"LIFE BLENDING is a gift meant to be shared…"

From Page 252
HAL STOWERS & THE ART OF LIFE BLENDING®



"The Art of LIFE BLENDING, a living recipe, has been evolving since 1971. Until recently, it has been our closely guarded secret, considered significant to only ourselves. The experiences we were seeking were intimate and the terminology was developed for just between the two of us. It was our way of dealing with keeping channels open for creative flow, including smoothing out the extreme highs and lows often characteristic of creative people. Over the past three decades our collectors have asked Hal, over and over again, certain questions…

In answering these questions repeatedly… We have come to the realization that…we are now meant to share with others this lifestyle concept. Our living recipe describes what we have termed Life Enhancing Experiences, such as UnFolding, Pristine Moments, and Seek the Setting, that can be added to the more Basic Ingredients of One’s Life to increase environmental and spiritual awareness, introduce more joy and fun, help smooth out the highs and lows of life, and keep channels open for Enhanced Creative Flow. It involves learning through direct observation and participation."

From INTRODUCTION – Page 13

"Do you have to wait for the muse to strike?…
What do you do everyday?…
Do you ever feel burned out?…
How can you and B.J. be together so much and still get along so well?…
And, B.J., what do you do?"

From INTRODUCTION – Page 13

"My continuing concern is for both
the fragility of our natural environment
and the human spirit. I would like
my work to serve as an uplifting buoy.
We need more focus on nature – its balance,
mystique and beauty – and that in life
which is positive, exciting, joyful and kind."

From the Major Retrospective One-person
Exhibition entitled

THE GULF TO THE CARIBBEAN
The Capitol, 22nd Floor Gallery, State of Florida
Tallahassee, Florida
January through April, 1993

From DEDICATION – Page 6
HAL STOWERS & THE ART OF LIFE BLENDING®



"How our hard won
unique natural open spaces,
in Florida and world wide,
are valued & protected by
current and future generations
remains to be seen. 

From LIFE BLENDING 2000 & Beyond – Page 264–265
HAL STOWERS & THE ART OF LIFE BLENDING®

"Turning onto Telegraph Avenue in the hot late August Summer of 1967 was a revelationary experience to experience…

"We are immediately face to face, brain to brain with the Summer of Love, Free Speech Movement, Haight Ashbury, Peoples Park, Huey Newton and the Panthers, Flower Children, Save Our Bay, Bill Graham’s Fillmore West, Iron Butterfly, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin and Big Brother and the Holding Company, Santana, Procol Harum, Country Joe and the Fish, Ten Years After, Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix, Ike and Tina Turner Review, mainstream drug culture (any kind one wants), Blue Meanies, and Psychedelic everything. Oh yeah – I almost forgot – our main goal is for me to complete a two year Masters program at U.C. Berkeley. Like I mentioned earlier – overload, Future Shock. Far out!”

HAL STOWERS, Fall 2001, Looking back

From BERKELEY PERIOD 1967 - 69

"I want man to become
more intimate with nature,
including his own being…
the beauty, the mystique,
the vulnerability, the ambiguities,
the forces and processes,
the way in which one element
is dependent upon another,
the rhythm of succession…
Being conscious of
these mutual relationships,
he might make more sensitive choices,
realizing the serious impact
of his value judgments."
