    Trust me, it’s reach crosses the gender barrier. Beautiful x

  • Cynthia Lund T... replied

    Oh, thank you so much. Yes, the original is actually on hold for purchase by a man – and I find that doubly flattering.

    Thanks again!

  • mistertrooth

    P.s – have you ever considered designing a tarot deck?? I’d use it…

  • Cynthia Lund T... replied

    I’ve actually never have!
    What an interesting idea.

    YOu are too cool.
    Now you have me curious and I will investigate – although I must say my only time near such a thing was in high school and two very scary incidents occurred within two days of a reading and I’ve been spooked and stayed away from anything remote since.

    But we’re not talking about a reading for me…

    Thanks again for your visit and your suggestion and your support.
    And I’m so sorry my replies are so haphazard and late!

    Best to you…

    No apology needed. Have a look at the Rider Waite tarot deck – this pic made me think of the two of swords, even tho the images are very different … to me they tell a similar story.

  • Cynthia Lund T... replied

    I just looked. How interesting.
    Maybe it’s the upward V of the branches and the simple horizon that make you feel something common between the two images. I’m quite flattered. I see that the card denotes peace.

    (Of which I send out to you this fine Monday morning.)

    the hair and the tape, surely, as you say, but what of the eyes …. ? a thousand mile gaze cannot be quietened …

  • Cynthia Lund T... replied

    (What a poetic comment.) I’m very touched that she has reached you…
    Thank you Alan.

    partly borrow, alas – the Taoist sea goddess Mazu has two guardians to assist her, one is called Qian Li Yan, meaning “Thousand Miles Eye”, too be able to see mariners in trouble and warn Mazu ….. it seemed to fit

  • Cynthia Lund T... replied

    You have made my world a little larger today with this fascinating bit of information. I’m smiling. THANKS Alan.
