He is the man on the far right in the photo. That’s my Granny, Mary Jane next to him. What I know about Cecil is that he is my Granny’s brother, he grew up in Kentucky one of 13 children, and that I was in his presence maybe a handful of times. Cecil had a full head of hair and a kind smile and somehow reminded me of an actor from the 50’s. “Old timey movies” I would have called them. He was kind, patient and loving. I wonder what he knew about me. My favorite memory of Uncle Cecil was a road trip from Cincinnati to Florida or vice versa. He taught me how to color. No, how to REALLY color. He was GOOD! I don’t remember how old I was. Maybe 9 or 10. Over the years I would remember him fondly when I would sit down to color. Cecil was fully invested. Fully present with me. He let me choose the colors. I would carefully consider my options. Realism was always important to me as I colored. He would take the crayon outlining each section with a dark line and then use a tissue to blend the line in toward the image. WOW. Showing me how to shade. I absolutely loved it. We colored together. We were together. The are so many things that make me well up with gratitude. Gratitude is a powerful force. Gratitude is universally understood. It is in the archetypal realm. An unseen collective consciousness. All people understand it. It is an ancient understanding that comes from the heart. Not the mind. My Gratitude for the man who was my Great Uncle Cecil gives positive power for that energy to carry on. I can feel right now in this moment how he affected my life. I can feel the energy flow from that experience to me now. So I can share it others. Keeping these knowing’s from these archetypal realms present in my life has been key for my own personal healing of self. I know it can work for you too. Whether these archetypes seem beautiful or shadowy is not the matter. They exist, cannot be denied and all have powerful lessons to share with us. Learning from the light and the dark. Let the good times roll. Share your Gratitude daily and keep the positive flow going so the negative gets swept away. https://bluefanfarm.com/tales/2018/10/30/one-hectic-day-t5ln7-pfwhh monthly 0.5 2024-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5accfb5d3e2d0914bae17b4d/1f62ce5a-8a49-4041-ad97-af3cfe47853a/20181030_131359.jpg Sliding On Sandpaper - "One Hectic Day" Jan. 17, 1957. “Today has been one hectic day. We waited in vain for a commercial tower to come for our trailer. We had lunch at the Mayfair Market and finally contacted James Harrison and engaged him to tow the trailer to Anchorage. By this time it was 1:30 PM and we had both worked ourselves up to two jumps from a fit. The fog in Fresno so heavy that it was hard to see 50 feet in any direction.” Last year while going through my late mothers photos and other small possessions I found a diary that my granny kept while on a road trip from Fresno, California to Anchorage, Alaska. It was in January of 1957. What a treasure! Having recently learned almost TOO much about my family, it was nice to find a slice of something “normal”. The journey was captured in lovely cursive hand writing bound within an old covered notebook. It is a pleasure so see her words and hear her voice while reading. Sometimes when there is no visible fog, it is still “hard to see 50 feet in any direction.” Opening up the journey. That’s what I am doing. My journey has been going on for eons. I am consciously choosing to open it up, expand it, look at it, share it. Opening up the journey, my journey, for new exploration, to find new reasons and the purpose of meeting others along the way with journeys to share. I am sharing because I want to, not because I am expecting or desiring a certain result. Human conditioning jumps in trying to deter me. Not this time. I have thoughts, not thoughts on any one particular subject. Just thoughts that the vast variety of we humans have. Each like a snowflake, no two the same. The byproduct each of us share and all of us have one, is a story. Inspiration has struck me this day. Don’t question, don’t allow the self doubt to win even the smallest of battles in your mind. Share what you come across, just share. We are all humans made from the smallest of particles, each of us sharing certain amounts of certain particles with each other. Each of us drawn to what will make us go and grow on the adventure of this lifetime. What is it that makes us each choose our way? Is is the particles we are made up of? The individuals we meet along the way? Fate? The questions come and go. https://bluefanfarm.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5accfb5d3e2d0914bae17b4d/1611795052598-KOOO8KHSX999G9LP777Y/20190726_084252.jpg Contact - Verbena hastada “Blue vervain” https://bluefanfarm.com/soulcollage daily 0.75 2025-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5accfb5d3e2d0914bae17b4d/90f240d4-f161-4e50-b64b-429c5817f2f1/facilitator_logo-slogan_A1v1_7-RGB.png SoulCollage® SoulCollage® is an intuitive collage process for self-discovery and community developed by Seena B Frost. Tapping into your intuition you can create a personal deck of collage cards using images. The goal is to discover the unique inner and outer guides and challengers of our individual Souls, while in an environment that supports creativity and is safe for each person to explore and express his or her own unique soul in its lightness and shadow. A deck of SoulCollage® cards has the following four suits. Community, Committee, Council and Companion. Community suit cards are people, animals, places or things which have strong energy in our life. In this suit the communal dimension of Soul is addressed. Committee suit cards are comprised of the inner personalities/voices we all have that advise and distract us with their various energies. In this suit the psychological dimension of Soul is addressed. Council suit cards honor the numerous universal energies which have shaped human history and continue to shape our lives now. In this suit the spiritual nature of Soul is addressed. Companion suit cards are comprised of animal guides who reside in each of our seven energy centers, our Chakras. In this suit the energetic nature of Soul is addressed. Your personal deck of SoulCollage® cards can contain as many or as few cards as you desire. SoulCollage® cards are not to be sold, traded, or bartered; [from “The Principles of SoulCollage®] they are to be reproduced only for the personal use of the maker of the card. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5accfb5d3e2d0914bae17b4d/1629941919085-DGZ401X2WZUKLYVPEKIJ/20180801_112522.jpg SoulCollage® - “The Fool” This card card can be found in the Council suit of my SoulCollage® deck with all the other Archetypal parts of me.
