There are far too many things to think about. The "mania" of our discussions before is now creeping in. Everything makes far too much sense and I have so much to say, but when I sit down to say it, it flies away. I GET THIS CLASS but I can't prove it. Dreams, myths, fairytales, circles, swimming, mania, past, present, future. It's all in my head and I know that it makes sense, but I just can't connect them on here. But really, I love that I get it even if I can't make the connections in the written word. It took me so long to get to the point of understanding, I just want to bask in it. I finally connect the themes of this class. From Arcadia to The Magus to Signs & Symbols: I can make connections. I hope to have conversations with classmates about this course even after the class ends. This will stick with me. I love this class
I have always been fascinated with mythology and fairytales, and "getting permission" to apply them to my life has been a dream come true. Same with Tarot cards. I'm encouraged to look at the signs and symbols that influence my life and to apply them to my days. Bingo! Thank you for that. I can't even believe the amount of legends that I live in a day. One minute I'm Heracles, then Persephone, and then Icarus. And that's just in a moment. I'm Snow White and Rapunzel and Cinderella. I love this class.
I also love that everywhere we turn, this class follows. I talk about myself in my presentation, Brooke does her presentation on vulnerability, Rose becomes vulnerable. Valerie brings us our Tarot cards that represent our lives, Carol talks about how our lives are myth repeating, and Joe dissects the process of our lives in the shape of storytelling. Talk about crazy! I love this class.
Circles and swimming have been smothering me since the get go. My classmates say "I'm drawing" or "I'm just circling, going through the motions". And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Holy Christ, I have to disengage because it gets to be too much and then I just start spouting a poem or something. My senses are heightened, but at the same time I have to actively ignore signs and symbols in my life to spare me from going insane. I love this class.
And now I have to stop. It's too much reality. But again, I love this class!
