The Hanged / Le Pendu / El Colgado ( Vision of A Tarot Card )
A few days ago I read artist Rosa Cobos´s Tarot:Mirror and SoulPathway. Needless to say, I left fascinated and felt the urgent need to recreate one of the Tarot cards; I chose “The Hanged” _ and still don´t know why.
Once I completed the image I sent it to Rosa, and this is what she sent back to me.
The Hanged.
Text By Rosa Cobos
Supreme quietness…
submmission to the unavoidable.
I would love to sustain my strength in that light,
so temping and methodic.
It is supposed to drag me out of the pit,
illuminate my ciborg-like entrails,
but I am not listening to any shinning voices..
repting voluptuously up to heaven.
I need to root… mind and heart..
I need to let my thoughts… images and ego
rot… like the fallen leaves,
I need to close my phantom eyes…
that seem to see beyond the unseen.
But they do not.
Resisting to meet the real void,
the entralis assembly of twisted conducts.
I have walked a long journey to become still..
bruising my kneess..
until I got to the Supreme Cave of desillussion.
I need to darken my skin,
white marbled, resisting to rust, oxidize….
the blood that is sucking from the acid vegetation.
No one will tresspass my threshold of meditation.
On one…
not even myself,
for I need to forget,
the name,
the rank,
the place..
where ..
as a young soldier,
I had been fighting,
the eternal war.
Rosa
Thank you, my dear Rosa
