(Friday, October 11, 2013) I have a very long dream this morning, part of which seems to foreshadow news of my coworker Larry McGowan’s death today.
Other curious fragments involve attending an estate sale at the home of Jungian psychologist Robert Larsen. I look into a closet and pull out a colorful, hand-knit sweater. But the yarn is worn and it’s too big for me. The hem covers my feet: it’s a man’s sweater. I keep searching until I find a beautiful, highly-feminine dress that was owned by the potter and kirtan dancer Amy Sabrina. It fits me, even though Amy was barely five feet tall and delicately thin. It comes with a frilly, lightweight sweater. Both garments are ruffled and decorated with green and blue floral patterns. I decide on the purchase, but when the sale is rung it comes to $100 more than I was expecting. $164. Even so, it’s a bargain. I leave wearing Amy’s outfit.
Day notes:
Amy Sabrina passed away from stage 4 breast cancer last Friday. I put away the fine red mug I bought from her for safekeeping. A couple of years ago Cullan and I went to a sale that a wealthy couple hosted for Amy in their Minnetonka home. I paid a lot for the mug, perhaps over $60, but I knew I was coming away with a treasure.
There is a birthday party for Robert Larsen on October 19. Rob invited everyone at Tai-Chi class Tuesday night.
The artwork on the bottom of the mug tells the story of a tornado that hit Amy’s Sweetgrass Farm and damaged the round barn. We shared tornado/vortex stories. There is a tornado warning right now in western Minnesota. In October!
Green and blue party dress: earth and heaven, Live Now! I find the dancer’s dress in a Jungian closet. Shadow work has a price, but is worth it, creating a new skin, new life. The yarn (tale) is light in weight. Uncovering spiritual treasure passed on from a brilliant soul. World dancer.
