FLOWER FACE


linked infinities

large and small...with circles too

face of a flower


from a simple flower in nature, the infinity of life as interwoven circles is revealed...i'm amazed at the sexuality of a flower, the male and female parts so much like the human anatomy, especially the enticing beauty of the petals of a flower that invite insects like honey bees to enter and explore, assist with pollination and fertilization, birthing fruit...there is infinite wisdom here.


if the season allows in your climate, take some extended time to find a flower in bloom in your area that attracts you...greet the flower in your own way (e.g., silently, with love, or just say "hello")...then BE WITH the flower for awhile...next, with a soft gaze, observe all of the flower in detail...if you have a hand held magnifying glass, explore the intricacies and infinities of the flower...if the flower consents, consider sketching the flower with pencil, colored pencil, pen, or paint, or photograph the flower...appreciate and give thanks to the flower for all you have experienced...place your artistic creation in a space where you can view it several times throughout the day...let it's fragrance and beauty return to you in your imagination...again and again...[if there are no live flowers in your locale, you can find a flower in a book, magazine, or on the internet...use your imagination to see, smell, and feel the flower in its natural ecosystem].

1 DOT starting with 1 dot coalesing they unite swirling in the 1 two senses of "1" are represented in the image...the 1 dot at the far left (the beginning, the one that starts it all...one idea, one person, one big bang) and the 1 at the far right (the end, the culmination, the combination of many 1's, the unification of the many into 1)...how is it that from the 1 comes the many...as a Taoist saying (paraphrased) expresses it...from the 1 come the 10,000 things. practice...take care what starting point (thought, belief, motivation) you begin with in any undertaking f or in it contains the seeds of everything else that follows...reflect on where your thoughts originate...work backwards, for fun, from the action to the seed thought that led to the action...try this backward investigation for several actions and several thoughts, and see if they lead back to the 1...this 1 has a powerful influence in your life.

2 CIRCLES from the 2 circles touching and overlapping reality births from the 2 comes the many, from male and female comes new life, from thesis and antithesis comes synthesis...the touching and overlap seems to facilitate new birth(s) at the intersection of the circles, the vortex, the vesica piscis, the mandorla (almond), the portal of new life... consider 2  vital ideas/parts of yourself...meditate on how the parts/ideas overlap, interrelate, connect...open...look/sense the portal of new life emerging...what implications does this have for being and doing?

FLOATING TRIANGLES floating triangles surrounded by colored dots revealing the face dots create lines that make up triangles, that make up the star in the center of which is a face...our face, their face, nature's face, G's face...all are there hiding at center...distracted by the colorful dots and triangles of life, sometimes it's hard to catch a glimpse of the face at the center, to be aware of the awareness that makes it possible to see the face, to contemplate the face of all faces. how many triangles are in your life... people, issues, challenges, problems, things you need to do, beliefs, habits, titles, roles, beauties, things...STOP the outward gaze and look inward to see your own face in meditation...contemplate the face...see others in your face, nature in your face, the universe in your face, G in your face...
