Nilapataka. Done. Finished on the 19th, but not commented on or thought about intellectually until today. Today, when I am in Memphis, Tennessee at the Gong Chamber, after playing the Black Gong:Persephone, and crying my heart out. The green...the safety of the heart, how deep it opens on the other side of the storm...
Christy said there is such depth, and that it seems wise to her.
Balprem: "Something dark like the Perfect Storm off Cape Cod and the beacon of orange drawing me in delighting the eyes!"
Wow...it does look like a lighthouse. Thank you for helping me to see that. The light in the storm.
Eileen: "Brings me back to Beasts of the Southern Wild, which I saw last night...the balance of darkness and light, the clear messages of the need to go outward, into the darkness, then back inward through the darkness, again, to the light that was always there. Phoenix Amrita - you have such a gift with color."
I am beaming!!!!!
Eileen, I saw that movie in the theater twice! I loved it so much that I looked up a ton of stuff on Quevenzhane Wallis and the man who played her father, and how he won her over with pastries from his bakery. She ran the show. That movie was incredible. And I'd forgotten, until you mentioned it...how it was that she ventured into the darkness away from home, into the water, to go to that crab shack and get batter-fried alligator for her dying daddy. I thought of my daddy. I love that movie. I love that movie. Thank you for your kind comparison and your dear words.
And thanking Melissa for her kind words: I love my dearest and sweetest friend in the whole wide world!
Everyone's perceptions help the rest of us expand outwards even more...to the stars!
Eileen: "...I saw [the movie] at a viewing given by the Jung society....Definitely the Joseph Campbell/Jungian hero's journey. Loved the androgens nature of Hushpuppy, the everyman/everywoman aspect of her life and journey (neutral clothing, except when forced into a dress at the shelter - unhappily -, neutral name, Wink's little girl but also "I am the man!") So much in that movie."
Yes. It was fabulous. She was and is a lighthouse. I am a lighthouse. We are lighthouses. Beacons in the darkness.
