Artist date

Our Black Swallowtail house guest is charming.
The high temperature today is 27 degrees. Way too cold for Swallowtails to be outside.
I fixed her a nectar pot.

In my Book of Days I read today, January 19th,
is the Singapore Kite Festival.

I love kites.
I found myself dreaming about kites.


Zen Kites are nice and small.
I can fly them in my house.
Some kites are huge.


Last year the International Kite Day was in February.
I think this year it is in June.
 I decided today was a grand day to think about kites.

Luna New Year is next week.

I am thinking about butterflies
and Dragons.
It is the cusp of Aquarius.

The archetype of the victim is in Aquarius for me.
My victim is my Dragon.

I have read about Chinese Dragons.
I have read about the Water Dragons.


Today when we went on our Artist Date
I wore a Kite pin and Chinese Kite ear rings.

We are shopping for a couple of pieces of furniture
for our media room.
I was hunting for kites and Dragons.


I have started another book about Shinto.
I am beginning to understand.

All over the world butterflies are loved.
All over the world kites are flown.
All over the world Dragon clouds dance.

Archetypes

My friend sent a cowgirl card for my birthday.
I love the can do attitude of the Cowgirl.
She is a modern Archetype for me.

A cold front came blistering in over night.
Temperatures have dropped into the teens and a spitting of snow is on the ground.
I stood at the backdoor and watched the birds.

I thought about the Archetypes in my life.

Since I have begun this personal study I have learned much about myself and my world.


I love Kuan Yin.
She is the Goddess of compassion.

I have a few statues of her.
I turn towards the Goddess when my sun is in Capricorn.

I turn towards the East in January.

I want to share with you all the different Archetypes that bubble up for me.

I am studying W.W. II.
I am understanding a wee bit better.


I love the Japanese way of yuga.
Yuga (yoo-gah), graceful living.

The Goddess within is teaching me graceful living.
