Woman Of Many Faces

Puzzle Pieces

Woman of many faces.

Woman of many faces, you stand tall in the quest of life, interchanging the masks of your many faces. One to lead the other to follow and better yet the one to worship, but best of all to memorize, the embattled soul who stares into her eyes.

Who is to say which face you will receive, for she the puppeteer, conjurer, constant master changing without rehearsing. Instinct is her projectionist. Moving from face to face – reflection, deflection, captivating, ignoring, laughing, crying and finally dying…
A death of the younger mask..

Now old and decrepit her old mask she wears. Few see her, few care. Slowly she disappears into an invisible mask, her golden years to live.

Her memory in tact she opens the cupboard to once again to look at her many wonderful masks. Nostalgia sets, tears fall, but all at once her head she turns and through another tunnel in another room she sees her lover, her children, her grandchildren.

The invisible mask she carefully removes and proudly crowns herself with the mask of the wise, the matriarch, the woman who stood tall and created it all ……

Accepting correcton

Puzzle Pieces

To change your mind and defer to correcton is not to sacrifice your independence; for such an act is your own, in pursuance of your own impulse, your own judgement, and your own thinking.
~Marcus Aurelius~

We are often uncomfortable with accepting correction, or advice from others, feeling that to do so would be to give up our autonomy or mistrust our own instincts. Changing our minds or admitting a mistake is seen as a sign of weakness. However, if we care about self-improvement and the pursuit of truth, changing our minds can rather be a sign of intellectual strength and our independence: we show that we are no slave to error, that we do not take our vanity and insecurity to be more imporant than getting things right. In the light of values that we have thoughtfully chosen and made our own, we can adjust our opinions and admit our errors. The impulse to remain true to our values, the ability to correct ourselves, and the courage to diverge from comfortable paths comes from the best part of ourselves- our power  of rational thought.

Our everyday gifts.

Puzzle Pieces

It is no accicent we are so preoccupied with belonging, because at some level we all need to belong.

Whenever things aren't going our way, it is tempting to want to live in a parallel universe. Yet it is only by immersing our selves in daily life that we get to experience all it means to be human. Then we realise our mission is not only to celebrate the joy of friendship and family, work and home, but to deal lovingly and sensibly with friendships that have gone sour, with family feuds and office politics. As we do so, we start to see into the true nature of things - to look beyond everyone's fragilities and flaws, and realise that each of us is capable of immsense strength, imagination, creativity, joy, wisdom and compassion.
