my other two fav’s are steadfast and not by might … but someone else scooped the originals … imho, those two embody sophia’s spirit.

I’m obsessed with butterflies, and I can’t seem to stop finding parallels between the ugliness in life and the feeling of being cut off from the outside world and a butterfly’s chrysalis. Obviously my favorite Sophia drawing is “Metamorphosis”. It’s hard for me not to get a bit choked up thinking about the RENEWAL and REBIRTH I long for, while i’m yet in the process of being changed….
AnonymousThe Sophia print that resonated with me most deeply was the “dismemberment” one. I am sorry, but I can’t remember exactly what it was named. It was the one where she had a nightmare and it showed all these arms and legs.
When I was first ripped out of church, isolated by my husband, and shunned by the members I thought as family, I had a repeated nightmare. I kept dreaming that an evil masked man was hacking me to pieces and leaving me to die. His peals of evil laughter still haunt my dreams even now. I was just left alone to bleed and die. Very powerful. That’s what I was feeling. And the nightmare Sophia had looked very familiar.
“nightmare” is the name. you almost got it!!
I’m with moxierocks on this one: Metamorphosis. I really hope I’m becoming beautiful. Though sometimes it’s really hard for me to see. The colors! The butterfiles! Can you imagine being Sophia in that picture? That would be so cool, hanging out with the butterflies.
It’s a hopeful picture, for me.
Have you ever gone to a butterfly house? I’ve been twice. The first time was one of the most emotional experiences of my life. I actually think it was a foreshadowing of me leaving the church and my theology, etc., going through significant change.
*sigh* I raised some butterflies at home a couple of springs ago. One of the coolest experiences EVER!
I really hope I’m becoming beautiful, too, A Different Michelle…I really, really do. Lately, I feel so..so..blech.
By the way, that was meant as a wistful, happy memory sigh..:D
well moxie, for what it’s worth… you’re beautiful.
