SuCasa

http://zmyztickleonion.blogspot.com/2006/10/sucasa.html


may all thy walls resonate with Joy
may every room resound with Laughter
thru every window & door may Love & Light enter
thus may Bliss abide in thy abode both inside & out

The inspiRAtion came from these words by Mary Ann RAdmacher (http://www.maryanneradmacher.com/index.php)
"may your walls know joy; may every room hold laughter and every window open to great possibility" serendipitously discovered when the photaes from my 24 respite in the Jemez came to light and the collage was in progress just before Jill's salon was published. (sea SweepingGatha-October 2006) The Doorway, why photograph this? The Way of the Diamond path came to me in 2003. 'AllWays Lead Home Thru the Diamond Path' Can you sea the larger diamond composed of the 4 smaller ones? • SaRED GeoMeTree • 2 mee, the Diamond represents the Union (a la The DaVinci Code) v 4 Chalice ^ 4 Phalice • The Veil, the lace curtains, the Ritual Scarf, the Archetype, has AllWays facinated me. i have danced with them, used them in Ritual & Ceremony, coveRED windows with them because wee can sea thru them and yet hide behind them simultaneously • AnOther Union • and WOW! i just Googled 4 the Veil Archetype and BINGO the very 1st one! • http://www.bisbeemarquee.com/www/0716/003_1.php • Very Evocative & Very InSynk! "That which is seen veils that which is not seen-a complex and whirling energy dance-for every veil we lift, a new one forms simultaneously. "Material" comes from the Latin work "mater," the Mother. And what might she be, this Mater? You could say she is a veiled woman dancing to a music which issues from her own heart. Or you could say she's subatomic particles configuring and reconfiguring. Or you could say she's Shiva Nataraja whirling in a circle of flames-or you could say many things — and everything you say will fling forth a metaphorical veil. The veil as an archetype travels a horseshoe-shaped energy path from very light to very dark and as such can evoke amazingly positive reactions as well as equally amazing negative ones. And it can evoke much in between. Beneath the veil one is Kumari, a virgin belonging to herself — not necessarily a physical virgin but a psychological one — like that special form of Kali Ma the Hindu goddess." Patricia J. Catto, or Shakinah, is an Associate Professor of Liberal Arts at the Kansas City Art Institute • and then there's the Trees, the Outer Guardians of the Inner Sanctum, with SOL in transition on the Ridge • and finally there is the Crystal Lotus, an image that arrived on a Knight of photographic play with a Veil! In SuCasa, it symbolizes the HeArt of Infinity that is at the Center of All Things on the Diamond Path.

The Phoenix House: When our house burned down to the ground five days before Christmas, we were devastated. However we knew we needed to count our blessings instead of looking at the negative. 1.) We has insurance. 2.) Neither one of us were hurt. 3.) We got all of our animals out safely. 4.) We sure got to find out who our REAL friends were.
Then instead of rebuilding our house the way it was............we rebuilt in the same spot, but built a Victorian Doll House. So, that's what we built! It has been used by the studios for commercials and TV shows. So, if that's not turning a bad thing into something great, I don't know what is.

Interesting...as so much of your collage work has a veil quality, layers of transparency, things you don't see at first, then slowly do see...

lovely!
