CicadaGrrl

Me through tattoos:

--the cicada and the cicada shell. At fifteen, when the cicadas came out, i learned at a crucial moment that everything about us can change.

--the ouroboros. Again, at a crucial point, i was reminded change is eternal, and that eternity consists of change.

--the tibetian skeleton--dances in bordo, between one life and the next. i like to take a deep breath, and remember i have a lot of lives left to live in this one.

--the salamander. in medieval times, salamanders were thought to be born of fire b/c throw a log on the fire (where the salamander was hibernating) and out pops a salamander (thinking it's spring). Reminds me of the differences between correlation and causation

--passion flower. This flower has followed me around with ridiculous beauty at times in my life when I needed it. It is my passion for writing, teaching, life

drawing, painting, collaging, beading, drumming (badly), I really want a bassoon, watching movies
