1. Restraint
The Buddha statue with his hand up as if to say stop, the woman with her eyes serenely shut, the temple in the background. There is a centered, objective clear observation of thoughts and emotions. Intuitive collage is a friendly way to sit with difficult feelings without acting them out or covering them up.

2. Inner Male
The strong male hands minister to a drowning boy. The mother is nurturing her baby. Verdant growth, emerald greens and sky blues indicate that spiritual transformation is ripe. The vitality of the birds, butterflies and animals and the sturdiness of the stone figures imply forging ahead to create in concrete, beautiful and abundant ways. |
3. Heart Opening
White flowers evoke a startling purity and the iridescent red corridors speak to the rich unfolding of the heart. The image of the mother nurturing her children symbolizes finding trust in the basic goodness of life and of all people.

4. Dream Terminator
A little girl stands in front of an easel surrounded with dark and threatening images. I took great pleasure in finding little soldiers and cleavers and even a set of bat wings. This is the part of myself that doubts my inner urgings and directives and “kills countless plans and splendid ideas”. |
5. Limitation
The 3 goldfish swim around in a bowl going nowhere. The powerful figure with his head hanging low is brought to his hands and knees. Yet there is the choice of strength and growth at all turns. The powerful face above looks forward with absolute certainty and strength.

6. Abundance vs. Scarcity
Bright butterflies, flowers, and jewels, a colorful lantern all evoke opulence and a carefree abundance. There is a choice implied. The contrasting image is of bare branches, empty inside a woman’s body. Yet an opulent bejeweled hand points to the intuitive mind as a reminder to see the higher possibilities in every situation. |
7. Adventure
As the inner journey continues the mystery deepens. The cat stares enigmatically to the furthest reaches of the North and South Pole of the soul. The waters are deep and the lands are distant. Roots, new growth, break though ice though what has previously been frozen and inert. Feelings have more freedom and flight.

8. Eternity
There is a wedding of the inner and the outer selves. The African mask glares with fierce determination to no longer abandon the true self. In tranquil water and blue sky, there is utter relaxation and freedom within this vow. There is a return to the original self from childhood. |
