Technicolor Dreamcoat - Vayeshev

Again a fucked up group of brothers.. not only do they go and kill the whole town of villagers who agree to cirucmcise themselves and who fall in love with their sister Dinah but they sell their little brother into slavery. Then they tell their dad his favorite son is dead catapulting him into suffering and grief for years. Damn. our people are murderers and liars and thieves and adulterers. It like you learn in family constellations removing anyone of them and the you would not be here.

In FC our male lineage stands behind us on our right up the left, our female line> I would not be here but some of them but I would not necessarily want to be left alone in a room with each of them.

Vayishlach- & thanksgivin'

Naming - seeing your brother and redemption the hardest places with your family and thanksgiving.Brilliant negotiator and statesman giving praise and gratitude and RELEASING resentments.

Again the them of fighting brothers.
Cain And Abel
Isaach and Ishmael - but they seem to get along ans it was the parents

Vayetzei & Medicine Wheel( & Where I'm at) & the Mandrake

Our assignment for the week was to track ourselves in respect to the earth, seasonal cycles. Another term or tool for understanding this is the Medicine Wheel which in really more of a sphere then a wheel. Tracking myself, moods, emotions has been something that I have become familiar with these past few years in learning more about my mental wellness.


It seems to me that somehow someway the Rachel and Leah drama somehow returns to Hagar and Sarah and that though some commentaries talk about the unhealed relationship of Abraham and Sarah it is also the relationship of Sarah and Hagar that is one of the keys for reconciliation on our planet. The women of these nations must stand together as women and sisters.


Yes oh yes finally the 12 tribes have been born. And thus begins some real research into the 12 tribe visual art project of mine!
