Monday Mental Health Check In: Ouroboros
Posted By Kathleen David on May 17, 2021
From the Encyclopedia Britannica
<i>Ouroboros, emblematic serpent of ancient Egypt and Greek origins represented with its tail in its mouth, continually devouring itself and being reborn from itself. A gnostic and alchemical symbol, Ouroboros expresses the unity of all things, material and spiritual, which never disappear but perpetually change form in an eternal cycle of destruction and re-creation.</i>
This is a concept I have been thinking about a lot these days.
The idea of change can be a scary one. Just look back at the past year as to how much you have changed.
Things that were desperately important before the pandemic aren’t as important anymore.
Things that have become important to me sometime surprise me.
The pause gave me a chance to reset and really think about what is important to me.
Somethings didn’t change but other things did.
I want to keep up with the good habits I have learned and unlearn some of the bad ones I picked up during my time in isolation.
This weekend we are off to https://pensacon.com Pensacon. Come on by and say hi. It is our first convention in over a year, and we are looking forward to it. Yes, we are taking precautions even though we are fully vaccinated. I think we all need it.
I have a couple of puppets to bust out over the next couple of days and packing.
Feels almost normal.
I am grateful for concepts to think about.
