    Between the sepals of life arises an image, a bird, a beehive in his beak and dumbbells nestled under his chest. He rests on a ledge against a round, blue sky. That he arises in the opening of the sepals, and what he holds, invoke for me a dream. It is the betweenness and the opening that is life. Betweenness represents relationship and opening is the intimacy relationship seeks. And it is only in the awareness of betweenness and opening that understanding can be realized. Without understanding, we will never know the nature of our journey, the purpose of our flight in this and all lives. Behind us is the vast, unblemished blue sky, that space the source of which is the combination of interconnectedness and cognizance. It is in this space we realize our true nature and essence. On the ledge, somewhere between emptiness and form, we find the artifacts of man, that is, the man-made things that seduce mind away from its nature. A beehive is a very cool artifact in that it attempts to understand nature. A dumbbell, well, the name speaks for itself :) Ignorance in the form of man’s attempt to master and outdo nature. This type of artifact can surely weigh us down in our flight.

    LOL :) I love to see my images through your eyes! You bring dimensions, "sepals of life", to it that hadn't crossed my mind. While the drawings itself come forth from the unconscious through the channel of curiosity, you have a knack of picking up on the curiosity and letting yourself be guided back into the workings of the unconscious - and all in good humor :)

    The most curious part about this drawing for me are the "dumbbells" (the bells that ring us out of dumbness). I actually saw those shapes more as rollers, as a metaphor for "moving forward". However, the way the bird is placed, it's not a serious endeavor, which brings us back to the playful nature of not taking ourselves too serious. And so it is :)

    It looks like...the bird, in addition to lighting its own light, is also crashing its own cymbals (the aural version of light lighting). With an accompanying visual "Pow!" in red. Then I noticed a green axel,which makes it something different. Maybe a little bit of both is a good thing.

    "Ligthing its own light" - I like that! Hm, cymbals would have been nice, but this is a very buff bird who loves to exercise with his dumbbells :)

    I am always amazed what other people see in these drawings. I wonder what you see in the latest one, which I called "bizarre", because that's all there seems to be to it.
