Yogini and Friends


I believe this began by spying the shape of an elephant in the texture of a tile floor

it sat in my sketchbook for months

the other day.... the yogini joined in
then the scene
it was not until i tossed her clothing and boots on the forest floor 
that it all came together for me

I enjoy the mystery of each piece

~
I shared this photo
the top of a small pine tree
on my photography blog
i am so moved by it
that i will also share it here

www.spirithelpers.net

the protective needles
the protective skin on the flowers? in the shape of a star
is that where people got the idea of a star on top of a Christmas tree?
Someone thought this is a fir tree. 
Do any of you know what sort of pine or what we are seeing here?

I enjoyed considering nests this week:
our skull is a nest for our brain
body a basket/nest for our soul and spirit
earth nest for all life on planet
I thought of homes
or feeling at home
a place to give birth
to nurture new life
caring for life in a nest
these thoughts hold my heart like a nest holds eggs

~
thank you for being our wonderful host Ariane!
