Mother of all movement - Margarete Petersen’s Mother of Feathers
Margarete Petersen calls her
Mother of Feathers the mother of all movement. She uses her sword (not visible
in the image, as far as I can see) to cut through delusion and illusion,
bringing clarity. Within the ever-present sphere sits a giant eye, all-seeing -
the result of her sword-wielding, perhaps.
In the image we see swans (often seen
in Queen of Swords images: the Wildwood and Shadowscapes come to mind) flying
high among the clouds – their feathers represent ‘new, freshly born thoughts’
that are now ‘singing through the air, breathing the happiness of
belonging’. There’s a sense of nurturing
in this, I think, even though the swans are so high they appear remote,
detached, aloof – which could perhaps be perceived as the thwarted nature of
this Queen.
A cinquain to start with, for a change…
Calmly
Cuts to the chase.
Clarity of thought, word -
Dispassionate yet nurturing
All clear.
And now back to haiku!
Cleanly and calmly
