In Chinese art the endless knot (Chinese: 盤長; pán cháng) is one of the eight auspicious symbols or “eight treasures” which were borrowed from Indian Buddhism (which in turn probably borrowed the symbols from earlier Hindu mysticism).  Among the eight, the mystic knot is especially popular, since it “ties together” so many different metaphorical concepts.

Since it has no end, the knot is said to represent that which is divine and eternal:  essentially it is an Asian version of the infinity symbol.  To people who believe in reincarnation, the knot represents samsara, the eternal cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth in which all living beings are imprisoned.  Each different faith conceives of such endlessness differently and to different worshippers the knot has different sources and varied meanings.  In Hindu religious paintings the knot was found upon the breast of Vishnu the preserver of the universe, while Buddhists see it…

Life is a journey!

There are many wonderful photos to share. I can’t even choose which one to post. The word “splendid” is wide in its sense, and if I may interpret it:

“There’s nothing more splendid than knowing there is another life inside my womb, waiting for her time to see the beauty  of the world”

Motherhood is SPLENDID -Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Thoughts on Theatre

I want to capture light in darkness,
Illumination wearing Zorro’s mask,
As it hides in corners and cupboards and closets
Snickering proudly over its swift elusion.

I want to see beyond the edges
Of the shapes and curves of lovers, buildings –
Halos of color that saturate the empty space,
Playfully waiting as you count to ten.

I want to see the Northern Lights.
“Close your eyes,” they offer in near whisper.
And as blindness gives way, fractals join hands –
a luminous dance, a reverie

Word Flows

I know, I just posted yesterday, but I passed another milestone today and had to bitch celebrate.  After spending all morning (and early afternoon) editing away on Where The Ether Flows, I have now passed the mark where the manuscript is 25,000 words longer than when I started the editing.  *headdesk*

That said, there’s good reason for it, and I swear, I’m not padding this thing.  I adamantly refuse to pad any writing and I firmly believe that padding is very obvious in fiction.  I’ve also added a sort of minor villain this morning, and re-ordered some things.  This is getting good.  That said, some days editing feels like being on the ocean. It seems endless when you’re in the middle of it, no matter how many times you tell yourself there’s a shore out there somewhere.

The other thing I wanted to share was that Saul, being the impatient…

Essay Love

I bought fat pants. Oh you know what I mean. They’re the pants you buy because nothing in your closet fits right and none of your jeans hug your waist comfortably. They’re the surrender pants, the no-longer-in denial pants, or the I-forgive-you pants. They make me feel so guilty about how I’ve put on so much weight, but damn, they feel good.

Source of Inspiration

I will not let the smiles
or frowns of misfortune be
the barometer of my faith or
contentment. Nor can any
person be responsible for
how I feel unless I allow it.

Not fear, not hardship, nor
inner turmoil will I allow
to tumble my courage and
rock of stance. My serenity relieves
any foe of the power to move
me from the mountain of fortitude.

Where comes such strength? ask he.
Not from faith, which sometimes
wavers, but rather an indisputable
connection, no merger, with my Creator,
who bows to no one.
