Description
When I think of being a woman, I think of the many circles and cycles of my life. One obvious cycle is age; childhood, teenage years, adult and old age. I am in the latter category at the moment and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I am also not sure I'm looking forward to the final part of the circle-the 2nd childhood stage, where my needs must all be met by a caretaker. Add to that, the joys and stresses of being single for 20 years and then married for 46. It is quite a circle of ups and downs, give and take.
The life of a woman is ruled by cycles of hormonal changes that dictate physical and psychological aspects.
Many can relate to the cycle of happiness, euphoria, sadness, anger and depression that can all occur in a single month. A month also ruled by the circle and cycles of the moon, by the way.
More specifically, the cycle of birth changes everything for a woman. In pregnancy, the growing sphere of one's belly and the womb enclosed fetus is one of our most precious circles, from the tiny egg to the 9 month distended body.
In this painting, the child within is not the only circle. There is, at the left of her, the circle/cycle of time: the past shown by the dark outline, the present as the center blue sphere and future as the blurred deeper blue outline. Obviously, we must live in the present with all of its ups and downs.
The large circle in the bottom left corner of the painting represents a yin/yang balance of good and evil, possible within all people. It carries the embryonic fluid that gently cradles the fetus. On a microscopic level, it is also the original egg for this child with conception occurring.
As for symbols, the circle is the band of gold, the wedding ring so cherished by many. The wheel of fortune that most people hope to benefit from could be a favorite circle. A circle has no beginning or end, is eternal. The sun, sustainer of all life on this planet is one of our most important circles.
This particular woman basks in the light of the circles and cycles of her life. All are welcomed, even if some are difficult or painful.
The Circles of Life are her life.
