Sonata

By Tara

There was this tall plastic red column looking thing that I loosely tied to a board with orange curly ribbon.

It was perfect because that’s what my pain looks like, that red column with orange curls going all around it.

Then I tied to it two very scrappy pine cones because when I am agitated that’s exactly what it feels like going up and down my stomach. Fiery red column.

The curly ribbon is perfect cause the pain has that curling upward energy.Loosely tied down because it needs to know that it can go.

I also put three match sticks, actual matches, on there to represent the fire. Plus a bench of red orange beads which are kind of jetting out from it the way the pain radiates out for me.

Then surrounding it are all the medicines that come to me:

Perfect a piece of sheet music - Vivaldi, a sonata. I play Vivaldi and I love music as a soothing way to get out this energy but on the music it says aggitato. Perfect sometimes you have to go with it and be a little agitated.

I found two cool crescent shaped glass stones that formed the crescent moon that was part of my a healing imagery, part of my medicine.

Then some groups of eyes watching, one eye above, one below, that came to me as medicine too, just focusing your eye on it, watching it, and using your energy in your eyes to help with healing process. For me that is very powerful.

Then along the bottom some nature: I have a leaf, a crescent shaped tree bark, then a really neat piece of wood that kind of looks like camouflage. Nature to support. It’s a natural process. Nature is part of it.

Things falling apart,

Things coming together,

Nature in and out of everything ~

We are one in our pain and our Nature;

Accepting it all

in its

Simplicity and its Beauty!
