.:|:. Dove Love’s .:. Points and Passions .:|:.

By Dove, www.TarotwithLove.com  Back on MS Paint this  morning… It’s all gray and rainy here and I was feelin’ kinda depressed, some residual anger from yesterday (see my “Fire in the Belly“/pic) and other things I s’pose are making me feel kinda blue…  I thought I’d try the Paint program again to feel it and clear it out. 

I was feelin’ it, I started out just wanting to draw a bunch of vertical lines to represent the rain, and then several geometric shapes grew from that… I was feeling more depressed and it looked like crap to me — I kept painting over stuff…so I wanted to stop…several times.  But then I just kept going.  And, although it looks a bit morbid, I kinda like it :) and I hope pushing myself through it was healing. 

I often show a woman I work with my creations.  She’s a sweet little “church-lady,” and I like her in spite of that, lol ;)  I was concerned how she might react to this one, she liked my “Rage” from yesterday.  I had this one on my desktop to show her, and she goes, “Oh … well.” (LOL)   But she liked it, she invariably has something positive to say about them.

I always ask my pics what they wish to be called and this one just kept saying, “Patterns.”  That seemed like a boring name, so I wanted to come up with something better…  I asked my Tarot to help me with that and drew the King of Cups.  Hmm, well, that card can be about addictive patterns, an alcoholic or the like…he can also represent a therapist.  Here’s an interpretation I came upon that seems appropriate here…

=========================

The King of Cups represents an individual who has repressed his emotions and dreams to be able to succeed in a world that appreciates material achievements. This individual has conflicting emotions regarding intimate relationships. On one hand there is a desire for closeness and commitment; on the other hand there is a fear of being contained and limited by these emotions. Confrontation is necessary to face fears and accept the growth that comes with emotional challenges.

===================================

“Addictive Patterns” seems boring too.  I started to just take the heart hint and call it “Heart Patterns,” which isn’t bad…or maybe “Pernicious Patterns” or “Perpetual Patterns.”  But none of those seem to quite get it, so, I’m stickin’ to the name it originally gave me, plain ole “Patterns.”
