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 eTeletour 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!
