what, no plucking? Just kidding, I’m sitting in class, very refined today, they are making neat mandalas, Mozart is playing, and your post pops up. I love where this took me. And, the note about not looking at your eyebrows in years. I often got flack from the females in my family that I have bushy eyebrows. So what? ( I guess I’m suppose to pluck, but Frida didn’t and she had a uni-brow!)

My eye sees what I see, and my brows faded away to barely there decades ago. But I’d rather be in Valariana’s class than just about anywhere today. What if I see myself there? Could my eye reflect that?

and eye as heart. btw, my brows have gotten thicker and are turning white. a bit white that is. and there was a time in my teens when i plucked them, but now–ah, i don’t think so.

i really love your eye visions. i love my eyebrows, especially that one of them lifts up w/certain expressions- the O’Neill (grandma Rosee) eyebrow.

Your hand is carrying your eye in its palm. The landscape is running right through your lifeline.
As it does.
I once had my eyebrows waxed and Himself wouldn’t look at me because he said I looked scary.LikeLike

ha ha–mine have white spikey hairs amongst the brown, and thinning, oh yes. I like how you write the landscape is in the eye, with emphasis on in–as if the eye sees and reflects all that has been, all that is

I plucked mine when I was younger, they were grown together in a perfect arch: sign of the wolf. though I always loved the imagery I still would pluck them. but they stay the way they are now. no need to do anything about them. but I can lift my left eyebrow like Spock ;o) (mirror image, he lifted his right, I was too small to realize that) he was kind of a role model for me when I was a little child. not many strong women back then, so I looked to … the cool science officer who can knock out people with a pinch in the neck g my dad could wiggle his ears, so I practised that too.
do you do that too? when I see an expression or a gesture I don’t really understand, I mimick it to see how it feels like, trying to understand better why people do it?
you’re drawing evokes in me images of a strange planet. standing in a cave looking out into a strange new landscape. I like that.LikeLike

My eyelashes are almost all gone and also the outside part of my eyebrows but the inside part has sprouted some really long white hairs! I wonder how long they will get perhaps I could braid them someday. Sometimes I become aware inside my eyes (instead of in my brain) of what I’m seeing…and it is as though the whole world is in there, performing…

oh the eye is so important; husband D’s eye-operation was a big deal and I realise I haven’t posted about his recovery, the vision in his left eye went from 5% to 60% in 6 weeks and it’s still improving! Relief and Gratitude.
btw I’m a ‘plucker’LikeLike

Nance, I loved reading this about NW coast Indians and your words re grace’s handwork: your words hold such truth for grace speaks deep meaning of her land through the threads of her cloth and because she does, we see the power of landscape, awareness and love in her life and in her work.

the First People here feel it is rude to point. with a
finger. even in a direction. so they indicate pointing
with their chin and lips. it’s really interesting. and
i practiced for a long time before i ever did it in public, not wanting to embarass myself. and when i
do that now, as in when it comes up as want to point with my finger, but don’t, people are surprised and happy
with my chin pointing. they laugh. and i feel good.LikeLike

what an amazing image that is…you with braided eyebrows..oH!….i love this. you have such a SWEET face and then braided white eyebrows??????????? oh, EEEEEEE
performing.LikeLike

I came back to go to Janet’s place again and got snagged here… oh don’t get me going on eyebrows and plucking… but lately, rather than try to pluck out the unruly white ones, I just take the hair scissors and cut ’em short. so obvious. so simple. I used to have Brooke Shields eyebrows, now they – what? look kindof ordinary… are there divinities with eyes in their palms?

and i am sure there are many more. i think it’s a very OLD and
Constant image. i like that it rose up in the moment because
of Jude’s comment. Be Hold~er.LikeLike
