the Mandala

The "mandala is a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional reality, used in rituals from the simple to complex to sacralize space in a variety of ways, but always to concentrate spiritual energies and provide a focus for meditation or other sacred acts. It supplies a map, a spatial orientation, a physical blueprint for a journey toward a transcendent reality."
"The dancer is a living embodiment of a sacred map that displays a path to enlightenment."

–Susan L. Schwartz, Rasa

Ondas de mar de Vigo

'Sea waves of Vigo, 
did you see my friend?
Oh, God, does he come soon?

Rough sea waves, 
did you see my friend?
Oh God, does he come soon?...'?

A Chariot of the Mind

I know what it looks like too. As I am sure you do. Harness the beasts I have tamed and they love me.
What a patriarchal mess. A matriarchal confusion.
Water mother, I know earth mother is there as well,
This is what I live to tell. Of what I have consistently been through before, but always
reaching the highest truth in the trees.
To Paramartha Plouffe
Who hangs in the equilibrium with her brothers and sisters
Waiting to be strangers again.
