Sublet My Beautiful, Peaceful Scotts Valley Home/Sanctuary (July-Aug, maybe longer) ( housing » other ) I am looking for a mature, clean, quiet, and responsible (single or couple) who wants to be in the Scotts Valley/Santa Cruz area for 2 months (maybe more). The rent is $1600, which you will pay directly to the landlord's bank account on the first of each month. I will cover all utilities and basic household bills (electricity & gas, cable tv, phone, high-speed internet, firewood, etc.) in exchange for you taking care of the place and my cats… one indoor and two outdoor.

My house is a lovely, peaceful log home sitting next to a creek, with lots of sunlight, gardens, and redwoods nearby. In fact, it's the best of both words in that, while it feels like we live out in the country, we are a mere 5 minutes to the freeway and stores. It's also just a 10 minute drive to downtown Santa Cruz. The house is fully furnished and, in addition to an beautiful living room/dining (which is like a temple space), kitchen, and bathroom... there is one master bedroom with a queen-size bed (the bedroom also has a charming sleeping loft… good for a child), and a small second room which is set up as an office. My home has cable tv, wireless internet, landline phone service, a gas stove… it's heated both by a gas wall heater and wood stove fireplace. There are two small yards, gardens, and a little orchard out front. There are a couple other small homes on the property... that said, this is a very quiet, private, peaceful property.

You can see some pictures of my home at the following URL (more pics to come soon).

Original Heussenstamm Painting ~ "Heruka / Chakrasamvara" (Modern Thangka-Style Oil Painting) ( for sale » other ) Original Heussenstamm Painting ~ "Heruka / Chakrasamvara"
Modern Thangka-Style Oil Painting
36 1/2 inches x 46 1/2 inches
$1500, plus shipping

This is an original, one-of-a-kind painting by the renowned teacher and fourth-generation spiritual artist, Paul Heussenstamm. A modern version of the ancient ”thangka-style” painting, this piece is titled "Heruku" and is a representation of the ancient Tibetan Buddhist deity, who is also known as Chakrasamvara. FYI, another popular spelling is "Heruka." He is depicted in tantric union with his consort, "Krodhesvari."

The painting is hand-framed in a beautiful gold leaf wood frame, and includes the artist's signature on the back of the canvas. I originally commissioned and paid $2500 for this 36 1/2 x 46 1/2 framed painting. It is in impeccable shape. There are no scratches on the frame, and the painted canvas is protected by a UV varnish, applied by the artist himself.

Shipping and/or insurance costs are separate, and are TBD.

For more information, or to purchase please contact Michael at 408 309 0962, or email pooley@earthlink.net. Please DO NOT contact me via tribe, as I hardly ever check messages here.

Here is a good description of the deity Heruka:

Paul Heussenstamm has been sharing his unique gift of helping people discover their Soul through his paintings and "Art As A Spiritual Path" workshops worldwide. Paul has created over 800 unique and spiritual paintings while passionately sharing his artistic capacity to explore and create Sacred Art from many traditions such as Buddhism, Hinduism and Christianity.

Sublet A Lovely, Peaceful Home By The Creek (June - August) ( housing » other ) We are looking for someone mature, quiet, and responsible (single or couple) to sublet a separate unit on my property, behind my home. The tenant is out of the country, and has decided to stay longer than originally planned. The sublet will be from June 1st through August 31, maybe longer.

Here are the details.

The home is a lovely, peaceful downstairs unit (a single older man lives upstairs) sitting next to a creek, with its own private entrance. The place has a private deck facing the creek and trees… in fact, the view from the main living room looks out over the deck at three very amazing redwood trees. The house is fully furnished (you will occupy the place as is) and it features a cozy living room with plenty of sun (it has a big skylight), a main bedroom (the bedroom closet and dresser are empty for you to use), a smaller room (perhaps as an office), a kitchen, and a bathroom with a tub and shower. The home has cable tv, wireless internet, and is heated both by a gas wall heater and wood-burning stove in the living room. There are two small yards, gardens, and a little orchard out front.

The rent is $1475 (includes utilities) which you will pay directly to the landlord each month, along with a $500 refundable security deposit.

If you are interested in subletting this sweet little home in the woods, or if you know someone who might be, please call Michael @ 408 309 0962, or email pooley@earthlink.net.

Please do NOT message me here on tribe as I do not check messages very often.
