VISIONS
of a high outdoor stone stairway with an
acute grade....
rain falls quickly and forcefully
turning the 2 way stairway into a 1 way waterfall
*
a woman suffering as her partner at 4am had
not yet returned home..
opens to a book of her teacher's discourses to
'the pain you feel is the echo of the pain
you have caused in others' hearts'
*
a castle full of foxhunters is next to
livestock buildings whose roofs have onion domes
as seen in Eastern Orthodox
churches...
*
Interpretation: the glorification of the agony of
animal agriculture
*
A woman stands on the edge of a pier..
ready to jump in.. but her attachment to
a manuscript in her hands keeps her from jumping
Interpretation:
a. material attachments keep someone from suicide
b. desire keeps one from merging in the ocean of God
*
a golf club threatens to smash a wedding ring
(wife contemplating divorce over
lack of time with her mate)
*
Vision of a hill whose top center was
a volcanic recess from blowing its top
.. now a ravine full of blackberry bushes...
Interpretation:
(anger has metamorphosed into thickets which produce
berries and are a refuge for small mammals and birds)
*
Rosalie Q, an agnostic, has a Bethesda pool in her living room... but she fears her own spiritual power and so
has covered the pool with an iron grille
*
heard in meditation:
Rats build homes in the little waterfalls
along the river's journey. Some birds
soar high and hear the
distant roar of the great waterfall.
*
Love whips not
our poor wills
.. but calls hearts
like whippoorwills
