LAST ISSUE'S IMAGE (ISSUE
#51 )-
the exposed root of a tree, in a strip of grass.
It had been flattened over the years by lawn mowers.
LAST ISSUE'S IMAGERY
As I stated, this image generated quite an active
conversation in our eTeletours trial class phone
call this past Monday.
Morgine Jurdan, who was one of the participants
recalls, "Feminine energy, woman and a child
next to her; many, many faces all around, a mermaid,
a sea horse. a woman bending over and down (on
the top outside edges). I can even see a cat
on the right hand side, with a long tail and perhaps
kittens suckling her."
and Mary Gray, whose memories of the call I
also questioned, wrote: "I think there was
a specific mention of Maiden/Mother/Crone. I thought
it was kind of cool that one of the images seen
was a mermaid. (I think that's the curving white
I see as an acrobat.) There was also a mention of
the root--although I don't think we knew it was
a root yet--looking like a shell opening on these
treasures."
Other descriptions included "Goddess",
"nurturer", "wise one." I stated
that I had often thought of this as a Madonna. The
conversation was so rich, I hated to tell people
it was simply a root.
Hmm. As I write, I'm thinking, "How can I say
'simply'?" A root does provide it all - most
of the nutrients of life and the foundations on
which plants, and we, stand.
What, and where, are the roots in your life? Have
you exposed them to yourself in recent times? Honored
them? For me, I think it's worth spending sometime
"pondering" today and writing about.
Noelle Randall wrote: "What amazes me about
your e-zine, is that ... [it] illustrates the power
and potential of taking something simple and putting
the essence of who your are behind it, thus creating
an ongoing commentary on how extraordinary everyday
life is." Thank you, Noelle for bringing
this to our attention and reminding us of it.
This weekend take some time to look around.
Notice the extraordinary in your own everyday life.
And, HAVE FUN!
