My Secret Self is actually pretty straight forward. She is a wild child who plays in the forest with wolves and deer and sleeps in piles of dried Autumn leaves.She lives off of the forest and whatever she can steal from the surrounding farms. She is ODD, and doesn't bath regularly. She has branches and leaves in her hair.
There is more I could say about her, but then she wouldn't be secret......
oooh, i can practically smell her! :) I wonder how you felt in drumming this one up? its interesting how much more organic and wild this piece feels.
ReplyDeleteReally love this piece; great energy and calm all at once. Reminds me of the description in "The Female Hero" of The Green World: "she feels that in the green world she has possessed herself and is reluctant to relinquish nature's empowering ties. This is a time when she experiences in nature a completion of selfhood that she fears she will lose as she grows up."
