Do you still create them in your new home?<br /><br />Thanks Maddy--I value your encouragement.<br /><br />Donna-enso-yes--what a great word.

Every morning the front of the house was washed and then a small little Rangoli was made. On special occasions it was more elaborate where every doorway, center of the house, in the Puja (worship) room a bright and beautiful rangoli was made. Almost as if we are laying a Red Carpet for friends, family and everything good (and bad) coming in. <br />Thank you for taking me back there :)Joyita Neerkajehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380285879199472715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723489562885266642.post-69628321359880276262012-02-09T20:25:20.720-08:002012-02-09T20:25:20.720-08:00Laura, that is a marvelous motif; the renewing of ...Laura, that is a marvelous motif; the renewing of vows within the tree's serpentine embrace, adding layers of meaning with the passing of time. Thank you for sharing that--I'd be very curious to see some of the tree's art.<br /><br />Donna--that makes me think of being outside, perhaps waiting for something or someone and focusing on one aspect of a nature; a leaf, a flower, a pod and trying to break it down into its geometric parts; a puzzle in reverse.<br /><br />Patty- I love spirals too--partially because of the visual, and partially because it seems such an apt metaphor for life. <br /><br />Thank you Blue Sky. It's something I keep returning to over and over throughout the years.

Maybe spirals is a better way to put it. Spirals of time. We do things over and over adding layers each year to what has become almost a series of remarriage ceremonies. Maybe that's putting too much on it. Spirals in time that add layers to our relationship. That's a better way to say it.<br /><br />One of those spirals is our annual trip to Paul's tree. He first met the tree when he was in high school. It is an ancient Doug fir. It grows over a stream that cascades down a cliff onto the beach at Kalaloch. The tree is large and is, at this point, hanging on by its toes. As it grew it tilted until the truck swerved into an elegant S shape. It appears to be dancing. There it lives, poised in the air above water, suspended by its roots,somehow surviving year after year.<br /><br />We got married in front of it and we visit it every year.<br /><br />Of course it's a motif for me: the tree in a circle. I have made many prints, collages, and drawings of the tree, always in a circle. I made a relief sculpture of it in a circle, too. And every year we circle back to visit it.<br /><br />It will be a hell of a shock when it finally falls down!<br /><br />LauraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
