Mistress of the Universe II

 

 

 

This is a modern interpretation of the 'Gaia' idea. I did a similar image - my first photo manipulation now I think about it - years ago, but lost the original image due to a computer crash and CDs vanishing when I re-decorated.

The original image is here:

There was a lot more painting involved with this one than in the new version.

Svaha - Photo Manipulation

 

 

This is the illustration to my poem. Both were inspired by a Charles de Lint novel of the same name. In the novel 'Svaha' = (SVA-ha) means the time between when you see the lightning and when you hear the thunder - (Native American, tribe unknown).

Although a little research showed that this may be a myth and that the name is actually of Indian origin and is used as a mantra or the name of a goddess or both...

However, to accomodate both ideas (although I prefer the first one) I added both to the poem and image.

The novel is pretty good, and I just love the idea of that moment when you see the lighting and wait for the roar of the thunder. A pretty special moment as far as I am concerned.... :-)
