Glorious Debris-Midlife Card (Back), collage by Licia Berry, 2009 copyright
The continuing story of my Midlife Collage!
After the initial 4 elements were in place, some months later I was guided to place the above image and wording on the back of the collage.
What does this mean?
First of all, for just one lovely image (it is artwork from the WeMoon calendar) to have been chosen, it must be powerful; it carries an energy that doesn’t need other images to complete the story. The words “Deepen into Nature” just compliment or affirm the image.
Secondly, for the image to be chosen for the back tells me that it is a foundational piece of information. The back of the collage is the spine, the thing that holds the collage together. Deepening into Nature is a primary suggestion for me to navigate my passage through midlife.
Of course the image itself is full of symbolism! It is steeped in symbols of the Sacred Feminine, the earth, transformation, higher knowing and growth. Fits right in!
Nature used to be my best friend; it rejuvinated me, gave me fresh eyes, reminded me who I really am and the bigness of the universe we live in. Nature, since it is inherently balanced, helps me re-balance. Over the last few years, though, I seem to have shifted my focus to more indoor activities. It was a good prompt to get back in touch with my old friend.
You can see that I have used the back of the card to record the dates that I have been guided to add something new. It is interesting to me now as I look back on starting this card how much of what was shown to me has absolutely been my journey!
Next…parsley, the swinging lady, “marriage” and “glorious debris”!
