Alison & A(Taurus' both!)
Alison!
Wow...I just loooooovvved reading your post - it thrills me, these experiences you've both had. Soooo similar! And there's that 'plant' idea again! When A said that it reminded me of how I've kind of 'collected' the idea of Humans as Plants idea - I don't know it's popped out at me in LOTS of literature. Proust talks of it, Picasso (I have a plant person drawing of his framed on my wall - know that one Alison?) Robert Musil, too - maybe even Gombrowicz! ...when I come across it - it resonates somehow. I mean, it's an odd idea...but it's been around a LONG time. Cool...
The first thing I thought about that black and white floor was - remember that interesting link to the Taurus stuff - about the Black and White Chariot guy? (judgement, too, of Self in this world perhaps? I don't know...)
And...a circle within the square (stem)...that's Squaring the Circle!! Bringing the Divine into the Earth. (heaven to earth) Or as Salvia will have it...bringing your Earthly Self into the Divine! There is definitely the circle and square symbolism, both, with those Salvia experiences!
I love the idea of the feeling of the memories/knowingness feeling like 'childhood memories' - soooo distant and vague but real like a scent that takes you back...These are some remembrances you guys are having!
And the laughing and laughing and laughing!! (much better than being terrified or crying eh? ha) I like that...absolute hilarity at our funny strange existence!
I like what you said about the plant having a will of it's own and choosing you...
I like it that you are both Taurus' and A's!
SuperWOW.
love Tracey
