A painting of beauty.
Being an old ignoramus, I had to look the word mandala up in Wikipedia.
I found that besides being an ancient Buddhist symbol and helper in meditation, the veteran psychologist CJ Jung has used mandalas as "a representation of the unconscious self," and believed his paintings of mandalas enabled him to identify emotional disorders and work towards wholeness in personality."
Now your Ruby Tuesday entry has gotten a triple meaning to me.Great.

Dear Mari,
today I thought about time, for me it is like a straight line and then I remembered your mandala. A mandala is just the opposite of a line it is a point. A point for the time a possiblity to just stop it to enter the NOW. It has a great symbolic power. I love also very much mandalas.
Have a great day!

A Virgin a Day: Day Seven

Image
"Our Lady of the Natural and Unnatural World" - created on Polyvore.com/merimagic I call her  "Our Lady of the Natural and Unnatural World." She is omnipresent, all-seeing, all-knowing. She is in the song of the birds, the preternatural stillness before the tornado, the glow on the margin of the horizon as the sun rises or sets with the turn of the earth. She is in every molecule of our bodies, in every grain of our spirits. We are breathing air that she once  inhaled and exhaled in her mortal state. She dreams clouds, showers in the rain. Her heart bursts, leaking joy, when we laugh. So laugh long and often. Our Lady has known enough sadness. you breathe miracles into being, Mary mine unloose the sacred A Virgin a Day Haiku My Heart

Sepia Saturday: Happy Birthday

Image
Perhaps I should say "Happy Belated Birthday" because the anniversary of Susan B. Anthony's birth was yesterday. She was born February 15, 1820 in Adams, Massachusetts to Daniel and Lucy Read Anthony,  both of whom were Quakers with an activist bent. Though many girls were poorly educated in that era, Daniel Anthony was an ardent supporter of quality education for both boys and girls, so the four girls in the family were as well-educated as their brothers. As an adult, Susan Brownell Anthony dedicated her life to the woman suffrage issue. Though she died on March 13, 1906 without having secured the passage of a constitutional amendment securing voting rights for women, others carried on the quest. The 19th amendment was passed in 1920. Does it amaze you that women have had voting rights for less than 100 years in the United States? That women were considered less than too emotional to make rational decisions...

Sepia Saturday: Revisiting the Past

I don't think I've ever done a Sepia Saturday using my own pictures, but here goes. I see myself as a somber four-year old and wonder, "What is that little girl thinking?" My eyes seem to hold too much knowledge and wisdom for someone who'd been such a short time on earth, this time around at least. I see myself as a seemingly confident about-to-be high school senior, a cheerleader, a school leader, involved in a multitude of activities, practicing at love and chomping at the bit to go to college and have more freedom (albeit with my parents footing the bill). Now I look at her, her youthful exuberance so plainly showing, and I wonder, "If she knew then what I know now, would she have made choices differently?" Would she still believe in happy endings, that one man could be  the love of a lifetime? Would she have been more cautious in giving her heart, less willing to elevate other people's needs above her own? There are no do-overs, ...
