Drawing it indicates a pressing need within to break free from constricting identification with material reality and to experience the world of archetypal mind.
<br />
<br />The Rune of elemental disruption, of events that seem to be totally beyond your control, Hagalaz has only an upright position, and yet it always operates through reversal. When you draw this rune, expect disruption, for it is the Great Awakener, although the form the awakening takes may vary. Perhaps you will experience a gradual feeling of coming to your senses, as though you are emerging from s deep sleep. Then again, the onset of power may be such as to rip away the fabric of what you previously knew as your reality, your security, your understanding of yourself, your work, your relationships or beliefs.
<br />
<br />Disruption takes many forms: a relationship fails, plans go awry, a source of supply dries up. But do not be dismayed. Whether you created the disruption, or whether it comes from an outside source, you are not without power in this situation. Your inner strength -- the will you have funded until now in your life -- provides support and guidance at a time when everything you've taken for granted is being challenged.
<br />
<br />Another of the Cycle Runes, the term radical discontinuity best describes the action of Hagalaz at its most forceful. The more severe the disruption in your life, the more significant and timely the requirements for your growth. The universe and your own soul are demanding that you do, indeed, grow.

To each, a unique projection.”<br />“It seems somehow easier to conjure up possibility out of a map than out of the sheer ether.”<br />“Out of one territory, one map, can bloom a thousand geographies.”<br /><br />“The map is a powerful tool of what Tolkien calls 'sub-creation': the invention of a secondary world.”<br /><br />“That was my first taste of orienteering – crashing through a landscape without paths, provisioned only with vague bearings and a distant destination. 'Orienteering' is such an odd but impressive word that it has always stuck with me, and in fact moves me to propose a related concept to describe a process somewhat like orienteering but more personal, more historical, more associative, more metaphorical, perhaps more spiritual: 'orientating,' or crashing through the larger landscapes of memory and experience and knowledge, trying to get a fix on where we are in a multitude of landscapes that together compose the grander scheme of things. Orientating begins with geography, but it reflects a need of the conscious, self-aware organism for a kind of transcendent orientation that asks not just where am I, but where do I fit into this landscape? Where have I been? Where shall I go, and what values shall I pack for the trip? What culture of knowledge allows me to know what I know, which is often another way of knowing where I am? And what pattern, what grid of wisdom, can impose on my accumulated, idiosyncratic geographies? The coordinates marking this territory are unique to each individual and lend themselves to a very private kind of cartography.”<br /><br />“I have roamed across state lines and oceans and continents, backwards in time, each thought colored according to a personal legend corresponding to the elevation and depressions of my private humors: pride, wonder, sadness, remorse.<br />“Like memory, geography is associative. In this process I can orientating we all carry a personal atlas in our brains (which obliges this psychic gazetteering because it happens to be the most sophisticated, supple map-making device ever created). We flip through it with synaptic rapidity; we crash just so though a wilderness of neurons primed and aligned by experience, traveling a decade in an instant, traversing hemispheres in the span of a few axons, snagging now and then on the nettles of sad recollection, exhilarated by the sheer expanse of territory covered, surprised at how our brains can organize so much information along emotional latitudes, their very architecture a kind of microscopic merging of all the cartography we have acquired and stored. We are damned by the arrogance with which we ignore the immensity of the territories we presume to tame with our absurdly precise instruments of measure, and redeemed by a cunning, even courageous naïveté that persuades us to believe that they are approachable, knowable, chartable.”<br /><br />“It is hard to look at a map without sensing, in our bones, private hopes and secret fears about change...I see: An erasure, perhaps, of the laid-down lines of the past. A willingness to draw new meridians. A reconfiguring of the private globe. A silent earthquake.”<br /><br />“We have expanded notions of the chartable world, creating a holistic, multidimensional cartography. There are maps to anywhere: chromosomes, galaxies, the brain, the cell, the spaces between atoms, cracks in the double helix, the edge of time. If maps invite travel, these new maps inspire journeys of an altogether different, more associative sort. At the same time, they still connect to our traditional geographies and are potential destinations of the orientating process; the lend themselves to a form of bushwhacking that is more interior, philosophic, imaginative.”<br /><br />“Another message, both surprising and exhilarating, is that no matter how distant or abstract the landscape, each has resonance for our more terrestrial, down-to-earth peregrinations. These disparate landscapes have nothing in common except the imaginer; as if I blaze paths between dimensions that exist nowhere but in my head.”<br /><br />“We need some secure oasis of order, even if only a memory (or a fiction), as a home port for our various explorations, our attempts to make sense of the unknown. This is the place we call 'home,' which appears on page one of every private atlas. Home can literally be home, an abode, or our notion of family, or even a comfortable spot apart from our dwelling place, like work; whatever it is, home is where the lines are straight, the order clear, where even disorder seems predictable and the displacements tolerably temporary. And perhaps that is why when disorder invades the home – when illness, death, divorce, or any of a dozen domestic estrangements upsets the order – our metaphors for the ensuing emotional distress are so often geographical: we are lost, disoriented, have lost our bearings, we are at sea.”<br /><br />“As we nose around these new-found territories, we may begin to create and ever more complex and useful geography of survival: atop our maps of land, sea, planet, chromosome, and cosmos, we superimpose maps of pain, of revelation, of joy, of disappointment. To each emotion, there is a pin on the map, the pattern of each accumulating and filling in until they have the appearance of growth rings.”<br /><br />“The most important thing a map shows, if we pause to look at it long enough, if we travel upon it widely enough, if we think about it hard enough, is all the things we still do not know.”Princess Daisy the Loyalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16413350102513791243noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888863915722371045.post-43219058082654877902010-02-25T21:36:00.000-08:002010-02-25T21:38:28.704-08:00And don't the kids just love itMy friend, Robert Randall<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Uvs7Uz5uHjE&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Uvs7Uz5uHjE&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Princess Daisy the Loyalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16413350102513791243noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888863915722371045.post-83242609705523681572010-02-24T20:47:00.000-08:002010-02-24T20:48:37.102-08:00Marxophone<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tyL5kRefsz0&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tyL5kRefsz0&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Princess Daisy the Loyalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16413350102513791243noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888863915722371045.post-35929273188156740072010-02-09T16:48:00.000-08:002010-02-09T17:48:02.383-08:00Memories of My Melancholy Whores"Let no one be deceived, no, thinking that what he awaits will last longer than what he has seen."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VyV7CrlEdzs/S3IIYLBShlI/AAAAAAAAAik/0ANmbCC5FKc/s1600-h/olympia.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 269px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VyV7CrlEdzs/S3IIYLBShlI/AAAAAAAAAik/0ANmbCC5FKc/s400/olympia.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436416911557690962" /></a>"She was lying with her back to the door, and she turned to look at me over her shoulder with a gesture so rapid it didn't give me time to escape. Oh, excuse me, I managed to say, my heart in my mouth. She smiled, turned toward me with the grace of a gazelle, and showed me her entire body. The whole room felt saturated with her intimacy. He nakedness was not absolute, for like Manet's <span style="font-style:italic;">Olympia</span>, behind her ear she had a poisonous flower with orange petals, and she also wore a gold bangle on her right wrist and a necklace of tiny pearls. I imagined I would never see anything more exciting for as long as I lived, and today I can confirm that I was right.<br />"I slammed the door shut, embarrassed by my blunder and determined to forget her. But [she] prevented that. She sent me messages with mutual friends, provocative notes, brutal threats, while she spread the rumor that we were mad with love for each other though we hadn't exchanged a word. She was impossible to resist. She had the eyes of a wildcat, a body as provocative with clothes as without, and luxurious hair of uproarious gold whose woman's smell made me weep with rage into my pillow. I knew it would never turn into love, but the satanic attraction she held for me was so fiery that I attempted to find relief with every green-eyed tart I came across. I never could put out the flame of my memory in the bed at Pradomar, and so I surrendered my weapons to her with a formal request for her hand..."<br /><br />"A contrast that helped me find out which of the two worlds in reality was mine, and I hoped that both were, each in its proper time, because from either one I would watch the other moving away with the heartrending sighs of two ships passing at sea."<br /><br />"A burning flash flamed across my face. Damn it, I thought, blushing is so disloyal."<br /><br />"Blood circulated through her veins with the fluidity of a song that branched off into the most hidden areas of her body and returned to her heart, purified by love."<br /><br />"I floated among erratic clouds and talked to myself in front of the mirror in the vain hope of confirming who I was. My delirium was so great that during a student demonstration complete with rocks and bottles, I had to make an enormous effort not to lead it as I held up a sign that would sanctify my truth: <span style="font-style:italic;">I am mad with love</span>."<br /><br />"On the night of her birthday I sang the entire song to Delgadina, and I kissed her all over her body until I was breathless: her spine, vertebra by vertebra, down to her languid buttocks, the side with the mole, the side of her inexhaustible heart. As I kissed her the heat of her body increased, and it exhaled a wild, untamed fragrance. She responded with new vibrations along every inch of her skin, and on each one I found a distinctive heat, a unique taste, a different moan, and her entire body resonated inside with an arpeggio, and her nipples opened and flowered without being touched. I was beginning to fall asleep in the small hours when I heard something like the sound of multitudes in the sea and a panic in the trees that pierced my heart."<br /><br />"...I was shaken for the first time and almost knocked to the ground by the roar of death. It was like a brutal oracle in my ear: No matter what you do, this year or in the next hundred, you will be dead forever."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Memories-Melancholy-Whores-Gabriel-Marquez/dp/1400095948/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265766364&sr=8-1">Gabriel Garcia Marquez</a>Princess Daisy the Loyalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16413350102513791243noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8888863915722371045.post-10354471969546004302010-01-08T13:06:00.001-08:002010-01-08T13:13:24.532-08:00Friend CrushThis is the best way I can think of to express/confess my deep admiration for Julianna Vezzetti.

It was about some Northern European preschool where the children play outdoors all day long. Yes, all day... every day. Rain or shine. Sometimes they don warm coats and scarves, sometimes they need rain slickers and galoshes... but they are out there in the fresh air, playing not just with 'natural toys' but with nature. I thought about how really marvelous this is, and really anachronistic, too, in a time when most kids find fun in front of screens in carefully climate-controlled (and often sterilized) environments. Around the same time I read Richard Louv's wonderful book <em>Last Child in the Woods</em>, in which he coins the term 'Nature Deficit Disorder' and describes how limited access to the outdoors and lack of unstructured play there has contributed to an alarming rise of childhood depression and attention disorders. I realized reading this book, and especially after reading that article, that I should be getting [Stella] out there to play every day, and that there was no good reason at all that I should be searching for indoor fun because of 'bad' weather... that barring truly freezing temperatures or howling thunderstorms, we should still be able to have lots of fun outside, even in the winter. So that's how we ended up spending many days during these past cold months enjoying the parks around town, more often than not as the only folks climbing and swinging and marching through the trees in our mittens and fleecy hats. I heard a few words of caution from family concerned that I might be dooming the child to a rotten case of pneumonia... but of course, being cooped up inside with all the germies during the cold months is what really contributes to all the winter sickies, and Stella came through the season with flying colors and barely a sniffle.
<br />"And moreover, she really enjoyed herself. Now that the weather is warming up, and everything is turning green and lush, it's marvelous to be able to point out to her (or have pointed out to me!) how everything is changing, and to see all sorts of little creature-friends who weren't there before. It's exciting to think that she will have an authentic understanding about the cycles of the seasons, and be familiar with the plants and animals and wonderous what-nots that many kids might only recognize from their picture books or television screens. She really does seem to prefer being outside, too... even when it's raining or 'yucky' she points out the windows, pulls me to the doors. We've started taking a good long walk to the river and playing at the park every Saturday afternoon while The Papa is at prayer services-- I used to try to keep her amused for those hours indoors, in the playroom, and it was always a hassle. Now we both look forward to enjoying a glorious springtime stroll and some good old running around and climbing all over before we head over to see the other kids and play with the toys inside for a much shorter span of time. She's so much less fussy and stir-crazy. Today we went to a playdate to meet up with a bunch of babies and toddlers we know, but Stella wasn't really into it after she had made her rounds of the house, inspecting all the toys and exploring her options. She wanted out. We ran around on the grassy commons outside our friend's house, chasing butterflies, looking at tiny flowers, touching tree bark, collecting sticks. She even met her first bee.
<br />"I think this has all got to be pretty good for her. I think among all the intriguing points that Louv brings up in his book about why kids need nature, the most striking is that children need to be on the move-- they need to run wild, use all that energy, revel in the joy of being in their bodies. Trying to calm kids down, keep them quiet and still, sit them at desks, focus their attention on 'work'-- is really the biggest part of our crisis with hyperactivity and attention problems... we expect developmentally inappropriate behavior from small children, and put them in 'classroom' situations long before they can be ready (and who ever, at whatever age, really wants to be ready for dreary days at a desk when there are butterflies to chase?!). With less and less time outdoors, and more of that precious little time spent in very structured, competitive recreational pursuits, it's no wonder kids can't focus, can't relax, can't enjoy themselves. Hmmm... and it sounds like a lot of grown-ups you know, too, right?
<br />"In any case, I was thinking again the other day about that school where the kids spend all their time in their natural habitat-- and it is truly their natural haunt, what children have evolved to enjoy, explore, learn from (as with so much of modernity, babies have no natural inclination to adapt to our weird whims when their innate prehistoric biological expectations are thwarted!)"

I bought an orange turtleneck the other day; that's how obsessed I am with the costumes in this movie. Too bad there are no pictures of that outfit to be found with google images.

As I dodged into Napapijri, a new store carrying hefty outerwear in techno fabrics (this was July), a strange thing happened to my sweat-drenched body.
<br />"No, it wasn't air-conditioning, although this was one of the rare public places in Italy where there seemed to be some attempt to control the temperature. It was when my eyes looked up to a series of photographs -- vast glacial stretches of empty polar landscapes, icy white, with pockets of deep blue -- that I started to feel cooler and calmer. The display of Sebastian Copeland photographs, from his book 'Antarctica: The Global Warning,' did more than make me admire the integrity of individuals who are trying to raise awareness of threats to the environment. I also realized that those ice-floe colors of nature at its most distant and untouchable are part of a new palette appearing on the fashion runways.
<br />"It seems as if we are all yearning for distant travel. When people talk excitedly about a vacation, it is nearly always in a place so far off the tourist map that it is uncharted territory: visiting ancient Greek ruins in Libya, swimming on the farthest shores of Anatolia, viewing the peaks of Patagonia. I contrasted that with the travel explorations of previous generations, from the Grand Tour of Europe in the 19th century to the hippie trails through India and Morocco in the 1970s. And I started to evolve a theory that vacation exploration is the spice in the fashion palette of each designer generation.
<br />"Hence the 'I'm just mad about Saffron' ocher shades and weird mixes of dung brown and burnt orange in the '70s. They came from the Maghreb at a time when Marrakesh was the doomed Talitha Getty's hippie playground (she died of a drug overdose a couple of years after posing there for languorous hippie-deluxe photographs). Then there was the kaleidoscope of hallucinatory pattern and color drawn from India via the Beatles album covers in their guru-and-Ganges period -- long before Rajasthan had became a mass tourist destination.
<br />"I started to think of the pale shades in last March's Marc Jacobs fall show as a reflection of a polar planet. And I noted how many of my memory clicks from the collections were the eerie pink strips of a sunset on the rim of the earth, and of the glacial tint to neutral shades.
<br />"There was also the advent of 'green.' Our dream, now that it has mostly disappeared under urban sprawl, is of a lost pastoral world with sylvan landscapes. So leaf green is a new fashion color. Dai Fujiwara, the designer for Issey Miyake, told me that his spring 2009 collection was all about 'color hunting.' He printed 3,000 color samples, took them on a trip to the Amazon, and finally matched eight shades to jungle and river.
<br />"Then there is turquoise, an unloved fashion color since the Egyptomania that followed the discovery of King Tutankhamen in the 1920s, when all things Pharaonic became suddenly à la mode. Now turquoise is back, in a slightly different register: the cerulean blue of the waters that you hope to find when traveling to Greek islands but are more likely to see only if you go deep-sea diving.
<br />"Like the polar regions, the underwater world is one of the last frontiers of humankind, an area within the reach of only the most intrepid travelers. I always pause in wonder when I see the glinting colors of tropical fish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California. I am mesmerized by the swaying, translucent jellies, and ask myself whether fashion designers have been inspired by these sea creatures to create the ethereal looks we see in their collections.
<br />"In reality, such inspiration would more likely be caught on the Net than in the net. Cyberspace can create virtual journeys, giving us an enhanced vision of color and space. When I click on high-resolution sites, I am entranced by the intensity of the effect, even for familiar locations. A ski scenario suddenly shifts from picture postcard to hyperintense visions of blue sky and glacial pools. Equally awesome is the range of color available on a computer. Theoretically, it should be possible not just to enhance color, as designers do when they play with print and pattern, but also to dream of a walking trip in the Hindu Kush mountains, find the images in cyberspace and match the colors: from dream of distant travel to fashion reality at the click of a mouse."
