| This Rilke poem has been with me today...I'm not exactly sure why it's in my head - perhaps I've been thinking about Shadows and Light, Youth and Elder, Sorrows and Bliss, the Yin and Yang and that we cannot truly understand one without the other - nor can we understand the Divine in ourselves without understanding our humanity, our flaws....There is so much to write about my experiences here ---when I have some solitude, I will...but this photo keeps coming to mind as well...I know it's ODD (a smaller snake trying to eat a frog - at once harsh, yet blissfully serene --taken from my pond several years ago...My first instinct was to "save the frog" ---but I stopped short and let nature take it's course ---and to see the winged energy in this seemingly harsh bridge of life's experience. ...and find the beauty in it's perfect cycle. |
