TAG


6 swirling colors

bending, bumping, running around

playing tag...you're it!


perhaps when you were growing up, you played a game called "tag"...one person is "it" and chases the other playmates, trying to touch (tag) them...once tagged, that person is "it" and chases others, trying to tag them, and so on until (in my day) Mom called for dinner...it's great fun with lots of people...in the image, there are 6 swirling colors intertwined playing tag...any group or team of people might play a similar game of tag...some examples:

in a circle group with a talking stick, the person holding the stick is "it" and says their "peace" before tagging (handing the stick to) the next person

in team sports like soccer, basketball, or football, the one with the ball is "it" until they are tagged with the ball (passing the ball), someone taking the ball away, scoring a goal, or being tackled in football

in a jazz band, different members have their solo tag time while others play supporting roles

 

for a practice, if you are physically able, you can gather children to literally play a game of tag in the yard or at a park; for lovers, you can "bend, bump, and run around," tagging each other's bodies; for conversation in a small group, you can form a circle and take turns tagging each other with a talking piece...there are many possibilities...the main point is to TAKE TURNS, allowing each person a chance to shine, express themselves, to be the center of attention.

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...
