After reading Elizabeth's post and appreciating her brilliant mind, I checked my email, and was presented with a photo of a woman with a star on her forehead. The star seemed to be very much like the cannabis bindi on Elizabeth's forehead. The photo was presented in connection with a local screening of a movie about Hedy Lamarr.
Which led me to the source of the poem quoted by Hedy Lamarr at the end of the PBS special that I watched after watching the movie trailer in the email.
Although I was planning to be silent for awhile beginning today (photos only) and only post this photo of Oboe in the morning sun during my morning yoga practice yesterday,
synchronicity guides me away from silence today to thank Elizabeth for her fierce and graceful writing and her powerful sense of humor.
Here's my newest mandala, #30: "qua-quer' go":
("qua-quer' go" is one of the vocalizations of a California Quail)
