My daughter has the same tattoo on her arm, as we had them done together. Hers has the dark smoky tones, as well as smoky incense rising from it. She chose to add some pink to it, which actually does create the balance you speak of. <br /><br />Thanks for you thoughts.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02218009891182171803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302767455915995629.post-77712873554087393902010-09-12T06:57:05.743-07:002010-09-12T06:57:05.743-07:00maybe leave some of the lotus in the dark smoky co...maybe leave some of the lotus in the dark smoky colors? or have a new, bright one? as a yin/yang kind of idea that we will always contain both?carolynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302767455915995629.post-26004211344141657092010-09-11T08:57:44.834-07:002010-09-11T08:57:44.834-07:00I love the glimpses you provide into your days and...I love the glimpses you provide into your days and this one sounds truly special on so many levels. I felt the past experiences meeting up with the present and the desire for blooming into the future. So many wonderful symbols and meanings in the day. The grey and dark lotus flower, totally appropriate for where you were, now on the brink of brightening! So many aspects of this day made me feel hopeful not only for you but me too! Making progress on the study, being receptive to meeting new people and accepting their generosity. Being able to meet a tattoo artist who offers you new insights on your journey. And then your interpretation of the Kanji symbol. Wow! Thank you for sharing all of this. I think for me the biggest message from this post, is that we need to be able to accept and be open to the new experiences available to us - meeting new, interesting, kind people; accomplishing household tasks that reward our lives; enjoying and being grateful for what already is but still searching for what can be. I will reflect on your words, thoughts and ideas over this weekend and consider them a real gift.Widow in the Middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598249263166943162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302767455915995629.post-86593320215977617062010-09-11T06:37:22.319-07:002010-09-11T06:37:22.319-07:00the idea that you can think and feel this way - lo...the idea that you can think and feel this way - looking ahead with sanguinity -on this weekend when the rest of the country joins with you in looking back & remembering tragedy - just fills me with awe at your strength and spirit<br />lovecarolynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-302767455915995629.post-43755190245723971882010-09-11T02:44:13.906-07:002010-09-11T02:44:13.906-07:00What a wonderful vow.
It is said that marriage ...What a wonderful vow. <br /><br />It is said that marriage vows are a commitment that one has to work at delivering. For us, it was nothing but a pleasure, each and every day.<br /><br />This new vow ... is less than pleasurable, to say the very least, however, when worked at ... will surely bring pleasure back into your life.<br /><br />I wish you nothing else.<br /><br />I love you.<br /><br />xxBoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695496303699631884noreply@blogger.com
