and you lay on the jetty
expecting to make love
and all he did
was to cut open your heart
and you were left there
with a wound
that looked like an instrument
and the bloody red became gold

Bouncy ball
You send it to others and from them it bounces right back at you
the ball keeps on bouncing
pushed from our feelings and the responses we give
sometimes we stand there kicking bouncy balls against the walls and ceiling.
No wonder there is a commotion.

Deep inside
on earth, entwined like roots
our song is the trunk
what we imagine must be heaven
is the branches, leaves and flowers
here the closest stars reflect our sun
and we know
deep inside
is our resting place

Pine trees
you stand there tall
and you look at me
where I lie in this cradle on earth
twinkle between your smiles

this house and the girl
I look up
the timber is wet
and the walls rotten
we have been away for too long
you all look at me for answers
and I look at you
priests walk in circles
and we make paintings on the wall
we are all ancient
the rat becomes the crow and she is at the window
clay figures give birth
and what we thought was a man
is now a woman
and what we thought was twins
is one copper and iron girl
house is old
priests walk in circles while we are all ancient
and the children make new paintings
on walls that glow

The Hermaphrodite
At first there were lust and temptation, she tasted the apple, and together they ate it all.
He spoke of four aspects of the female archetype, the Anima, that one would have to know and learn from.
These were the stories of Eve, from the genesis, Helen from Helen and troy, Mary, virgin Mary, and the fourth and last Sophia, goddess of Wisdom.
She is also related to as male- female, the Holy Spirit, the bride of Christ, and one of her many names and aspects is Lilith.
She allows people to be seen and related to as particular individuals who possesses both positive and negative aspects.
The legend about Sophia is found through the Hellenistic philosophy and religion, in Platonism, Gnosticism, Orthodox Christianity and Christian mysticism.
Plato depicts following his teacher Socrates, that leaders of the proposed Utopia are to be philosopher kings, rulers, who love Sophia, Wisdom.
He understood philosophy as phi lo Sophia, the love of Wisdom. In eastern orthodoxy holy wisdom is understood as the divine who became incarnated as Jesus Christ.
In eastern orthodoxy humility is the highest wisdom and is to be sought more than any virtue.
In gnostic tradition Sophia is a feminine figure, similar to a human soul, but simultaneously one of the feminine aspects of God
Sophia of the left and Christ on the right. Female and male, together
Eve and Adam took the choice of eating that apple, hand in hand, Adam and Eve went for the walk.
the walk that eventually would lead them, wise and humble, back into the garden of Eden
and the hermaphrodite smiles
because she knows them both
There were two energies making love, sexual atmosphere changed into merely loving play
Suddenly the masculine and the feminine were so
entwined that they could not clearly see the difference any more and together they felt free
I made a figurine sitting comfortable and relaxed. She was to be all in harmony with the male and female in her
What was most frightening and unfamiliar, the male, is now her own. She embraces him. In harmony with the male and female.
Adam and Eve with the apple. The princess about to kiss a frog, awaiting the prince to free her. Lust, temptation, wants and needs. From this to total freedom. The figurine, the inner goddess
There she was. Naked, careless, happily running around with Adam. Innocence, beauty, laughter and play. They were childlike together, Adam and Eve

Why did Eve have to fall for the temptation of the serpent, why did she have to destroy the life they had in that garden
I feel ashamed and guilty, Eve how come you did this, you, goddess of life and a part of many of us.
Eve, Woman of Life, the one who leads us into sin. She who gave birth. Oh beware men of the female, she who leads men astray
The myths and legends are here to explain archetypes in us, the issues of everyday life and death, life after death
We are in our lives now. We can relate to these archetypes and myths to understand more of our self and our inner gods and goddesses.
Poor Eve, she was too curious and wanted to gain wisdom like the gods. She agreed to eat the apple to become like them
The figurine is still sitting there, an hermaphrodite, all in harmony
Adam was in some early works described as first being an hermaphrodite, before being parted into two.
Adam and Lilith
Lilith was Adam's other half, she was made out of the same clay, female and male.

Adam and Lilith
Lilith was Adam's other half, she was made out of the same clay, female and male.
They made love and there was love, but to Lilith's disappointment she could not be on top of him when making love. Adam simply did not accept this, as he only wanted to lead and refused to let go.
Lilith left him heartbroken. She refused to come back. God punished her for not giving in. She became a villain, lost, misunderstood, judged and deemed. Oh poor Lilith
God then created Eve out of Adam's rib. She was more suppressive and would give him many children
Lilith is portrayed with varieties of feelings. She seems real. She had meanings, stood strong and she was not flawless. When reading about Lilith I can not avoid feeling upset. In most literature about her, she is described as dark and evil. A daemon of the dark
I peeked behind the curtain of that darkness and could only find more light
A trace. to recognise the pain of being misunderstood and rejected for being oneself and none other, even judged by yourself
Eve, the Mother of Life. She suddenly seemed like a scapegoat in recent history.

The myths tell of Lilith being the serpent, that Eve and Lilith were friends and agreed about not staying in the garden, but rather to gain Knowledge, Wisdom and Humility
Carl Jung talked about the Anima and Animus. He claimed that women and men had an aspect of the opposite sex in them and when opening up for this aspect, without fear, men and women would be more internally aware of what he/ she believes and feels, and is more capable of expressing these beliefs and feelings. In confronting one's shadow self is a source of great creative ability
