Jeannet

This mandala I made for Jeannet. She had her birthday yesterday. I gave it to her thursday because I had to go to work yesterday. I´m in Rotterdam now in my brothers house, waiting for the phone to ring. I´m standby for 5 days! Yesterday I spent the day at my parents and in the evening my brother and his boyfriend invited me for pizza (I love pizza!!!!) It is nice to spend time with the family but being standby isn´t the favorite part of my job. I have to be able to be at Schiphol within one hour and that is impossible from where I live. Deze mandala heb ik voor Jeannet gemaakt. Ze was gisteren jarig , mar ik heb de mandala donderdag alvast gegeven, want ik moest vrijdag werken. Ik sta 5 dagen reserve, het minst leuke deel van mijn baan. Wel leuk om weer de familie te zien; gisteren een dag bij mijn ouders geweest en s'avonds ben ik met mijn broer en zijn vriend pizza gaan eten (ik ben gek op pizza!!!). Ik ben nu in Rotterdam in het huis van mijn broer, ik moet binnen een uur op Schiphol kunnen zijn en dat lukt niet vanuit mijn huis. Dragonfly symbolism crosses and combines with that of the butterfly and change. The dragonfly symbolizes going past self-created illusions that limit our growing and changing. Dragonflies are a symbol of the sense of self that comes with maturity. They are fantastic flyers, darting like light, twisting, turning, changing direction, even going backwards as the need arises. They are inhabitants of two realms - starting with water, and moving to the air with maturity, but staying close to water. Some people who have the dragonfly as their totem have had emotional and passionate early years, but as they get older they achieve balance with mental clarity and control. They gain an expression of the emotional and mental together. Dragonflies are old and adaptive insects, and are most powerful in the summer under the effects of warmth and sunlight. Their colors are a result of reflecting and refracting the power of light. As a result, they are associated with color magic, illusion in causing others only to see what you wish, and other mysticism. The are often represented in Japanese paintings, representing new light and joy. To some Native Americans they are the souls of the dead. Faerie stories say that they used to be real dragons. Dragonflies are reminders that we are light and can reflect the light in powerful ways if we choose to do so. "Let there be light" is the divine prompting to use the creative imagination as a force within your life. They help you to see through your illusions and allow your own light to shine in a new vision.
