A Nautilus Shell… for Steve
July 14, 2015
Thanks for bringing poet Robert Lax (1915-2000) back into my consciousness. If the nautilus shell symbolizes growth from a center, then this thought from Lax’s Circus of the Sun (1960) gently reminds of the continued need to return our core at different life stages.
Sometimes we go on a search and do not know what we are looking for, until we come again to our beginning
I get it now, I didn’t in my twenties… Nautilus Notecard
Totem
July 9, 2015
Earlier this summer I had a mental image of a totem pole with different creatures that features the letters of the word as a totem pole.
T is eagle representing Spirit
O is a human and the wings have two birds facing off
T has a fish to the left and human to the right
E is a bear facing eastward
M has a beaver with a stick in his mouth and a another face tattooed to his chest
I don’t vouch for it being in any way authentic tribally, but has meaning to me.
