Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. – Carl Jung
La Fée Verte
With flowers and with women,
with absinthe and with fire,
we can divert ourselves a little,
acting our parts in the play.
Absinthe drunk on a winter evening,
lights up in green the smoky soul;
and the flowers on the darling one
exude perfume before the bright fire.
Charles Cros, 1842 – 1888
Praying Mantis
The Praying Mantis teaches how to still the outer mind and go within ourselves.
Through this, we can draw upon greater power –
physical, emotional, mental or spiritual.
That stillness can be simple contemplation or meditation or even dreaming.
Healers often have Praying Mantis totems — for they use
their inner stillness to focus their healing power.
The greatest lesson this totem teaches is patience.
Learning to wait for the right moment before striking.
Last Light
This was the last light of Members’ Evenings at the Huntington Gardens on August 15, 2010.
I was chasing the light all the way to the Rose Garden before it disappeared into the horizon.
