This is an entry for the character of the week activity at ca.org. Topic was "Life"
Here's my description:
'Life is more of a fearsome warrior than death. If you think about the world we live in, most matter is inanimate. Life is the exception. And it comes at great expense; a constant fight against thirst, hunger, pain and diseases. So, if we're talking alegories of life, to me that's a female warrior, a lonesome source of light amongst the inanimate world.'
Totally applies to the way life shows up in the universe. Always way, way, way against the odds. When she shows up she is a nurturer and she is prolific. Very feminine and very masculine. I like that you have included both these energies even though the embodiment is basically feminine. If you had used a babe with boobs spilling out and an exposed silky thigh, that would have destroyed the allegorical potency. I love your work. I love allegory and the spiritual.
