Nor does the one I hope to put up - that grew from the inside out - a kind of expanding understanding of an insight I woke up with nearly 30 years ago.TheraPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684120043427738135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079768492368412111.post-2241523567603181412009-07-12T11:47:44.582-05:002009-07-12T11:47:44.582-05:00Well, it took me off guard too, Rowan!

I found it when I was searching to illustrate a post on the other blog (Bits & Pieces) - because a patient of mine drew something like that a long time ago. <br /><br />I think it symbolizes the unconscious, the part of ourselves which is hidden <i>underground</i> so to speak. It speaks to me. It speaks to you. It spoke to her. And it does make one wonder if Jung was right - about the collective unconscious.<br /><br />Thank you for telling me that. One day I will put up - when I figure how to do it - something I drew. Very different in some ways but still <i>welling up</i> from the unconscious like a revelation.<br /><br />Peace be with you.TheraPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684120043427738135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079768492368412111.post-52781481492458005732009-07-11T21:26:13.256-05:002009-07-11T21:26:13.256-05:00The picture you included took me totally off guard...The picture you included took me totally off guard. A number of years ago I wrote a poem for winter solstice. Minus the yin/yang portion, that picture is almost a clone of the drawing I did to accompany that poem.

I guess I should have said, many people might not see its beauty.<br /><br /> Yes, ♪ ♫ ♪ <i>everything is beautiful</i> ♪ ♫ ♪, as the song goes.<br /><br />You understood it all!<br /><br />I never studied geology. But I love rocks. Rock formations. We have spent countless hours on beaches and elsewhere, picking out stones. Trying to decide what to take, what to leave behind. I love how rocks are formed, worn down, re-formed. I love seeing the evidence of sedimentation. I have one with amethyst crystals inside. <br /><br />So many things to love in this world! So many unique people. Everything. Blades of grass. Photos. I'm amazed by all! <br /><br />Thank you for your visit. Good to see you.<br /><br />Peace be with you. And with your rocks....TheraPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684120043427738135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079768492368412111.post-50561606164081725812009-07-10T12:05:18.494-05:002009-07-10T12:05:18.494-05:00"My stone has no beauty. It is so ordinary.&q..."My stone has no beauty. It is so ordinary."<br /><br />;) As a geologist, there is no such thing as an ordinary stone. Each one preserves a record of its past, where and what it came from (the stone itself), what happened to it later (weathering, being in a creek to make it round)--its 'history', so to speak. <br /><br />Your stone has all of that, plus your meeting with the Dalia Lama, and your care for it afterwards, and the thoughts that it evokes.<br /><br />Seems like a special stone to me!Mark Tyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04122906312951794536noreply@blogger.com
