[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 646184, member: 17720"] This place is SO...amazing! I think it is absolutely remarkable, another head explosion really, that you have had these beautiful words hidden away, that you have had this WRITER in you hidden away all this time, and talking about it brings that out to be shared again. I mean...really, Cedar. "Mosaic" is a very specific word to just come up in our conversation, isn't it? It is as if all the little bits of everyone's input here might have led you in the direction of being able to allow that part of yourself to shine forth again. I'm so very, very glad that you did. I knew you were a good writer, but I really had no idea that you had these sorts of works hidden away. I like the poem very, very much too. And the one about the flower. I'm so happy you shared those! I have been thinking all day about how I see the pieces of the mosaic. Like your imagery of blood on stone, I see it initially as very harsh and cold and elemental, primitive even. We don't have a choice, do we? We are their mothers, so we love them, even when it leaves our flesh raw and stripped to the bone. From there I think it has to somehow circle around and around and around. There have been no straight lines in this journey! Then I am thinking it should somehow build to a vortex or come down to a center, like a galaxy or a nucleus, because it leads us to the core of who we are. For some reason too I am thinking of the sand mandalas that Tibetan Buddhists create. So intricate, slowly created with sacred intention, fragile and temporary, reminding us to be vigilant and grateful for the moments of beauty and grace we share. [/QUOTE]
