Several years ago, I had the colors black and red come up during a Focusing session. I don’t recall exactly what their meaning was, but a while later I wrote a poem called “A Deeper Passion” and made a paper collage to symbolize the poem. I think perhaps black symbolizes grief for me, and red, life.
Seeds: Round Monkey Comb, Sea Heart, Ox Eye, Sand Box Tree seed, Starnut palm, A. cornigera thorns, Nenes (Ormosia monosperma? Red and black seeds), red Adenanthera pavonina, and seed pods.
Invitation: Embrace your life. Honor your grieving. Release your fears. Seek your passion.
The small driftwood pieces on this are exquisite. The composition is gorgeous. It is my favorite of all, next to “Yin Yang.”

The beautiful large black thorns are from the A. cornigera Acacia tree.
The white spiral shell I found up in the mountains of Punta Uva, Talamanca, Limon, Costa Rica. I love it!
