The Koru holds many symbolic meanings. Firstly, it is a representation of new life. This seems obvious, as it is a stylized graphic meant to represent the new shoots of the fern. It is a symbol of beginnings, the undeveloped potential for all of life's endeavors. Further, it is a symbol of renewal, brining to mind the lush growth of New Zealand's wet forests. The Koru carries within the idea of transformation, much as birth represents the transformation from one state of being into another. More than just literal birth though, the Koru represents creation in all it's forms, the unfurling of new ideas and opportunities all throughout life. It brings with it hope and endless possibility. The Koru represents growth and vitality, which is clearly visible in the hearty and vigorous growth of new shoots. It symbolizes health and is used in decorative works to embody the magic of life, growth and well-being. Much like a new fern shoot, arising from the ground to reach towards the light, the Koru represents the search for enlightenment, a striving for the divine. It is a symbol of deep spirituality, carrying the secrets of the universe in it's Golden Spiral. Because it contains the Golden Spiral the Koru is a symbol of cycles and change. It is a reminder that all things live,die and are reborn, that life continues endlessly. As in all things, the blueprint of the universe found within. It represents the sacred geometry of life, renewal and eternity. Description by Sora Nalani.

Sasha's world as a puppy. Big enough for an adult to lay in. Cozy enough for a small coyote puppy that should have been in a den.

My two orchid plants are just beginning to bloom. It takes two or more months for these buds to open -- but they stay blooming even longer than that, sometimes. The first opening bud is a great event!
A: The theme of this photo is overlay.
B: The element of design would be movement. The viewer's eye goes all around the picture, seeing the reflection in the car and the overlay of the horizon.
C: I took the picture in the car window with a real camera, while the picture of the sunset was taken with my iPhone's camera over the summer. It creates a good blend of the two pictures with the overlay effect.

The Adult Self loves the child self, cradles him in her arms - looks deep into his eyes, and she is pregnant with a new idea but she won't abandon her self or her other persuits, she will learn balance. She has 2 angels protecting her in this experience.

“So powerful is the light of unity
that it can illuminate the whole earth.”
Free the self from perceptual separation bonds…
Open the gateway to the flow of creation…
-“I AM The Infinite Made Manifest In Form….”
With every end there is a beginning that can allow you to reinvent yourself....if you let it. Have a great Wednesday.
That's the good thing about agility shows, the dog can be a mutt and still compete.
I guess the dog thing has been going on all week... Today there were agililty and *I can't think of what the other is called* shows... And the place was packed full of people!
***The Beginning **
“You’re cycling alone?”
“With all that Luggage”
“There?”
“You’re crazy!” the lady at Oulu airport information desk says as I ask for directions and then she cackles with laughter. So with that assessment of my sanity I wheel my bike outside swing my leg over the back of my bike, “click” “click” goes the beautiful sound of my shoes clipping into my pedals and I head off... straight down the wrong side of a dual carriage way… ABORT ABORT! Lesson one, in Finland one must cycle on the right.
The daffodil is a symbol of rebirth - a sign of the new beginnings that come with spring. Daffodils are often found connected with Easter and Easter religious services because of their new birth significance.
