el matriarcado vive

La diosa Cybele alias Inanna, Rhea y Gaia; madre de los dioses del Olimpo, nuestro planeta en su aspecto divino y Magna Mater de la ciudad de Roma, donde la catedral de San Pedro fue construida arriba de su templo. ***grrrrr***

Cybele aka Inanna, Rhea and Gaia, our planet deified, ruler of Rome, great goddess of women, guardian of the dead and mistress of prophecy and the future.

girlDibujo

I drew this while thinking of my friend Nadine and her children
Bruni and Zippy, teenagers now, and whom I've known since birth.

Este dibujo lo hice pensando en mi amiga Nadine y sus hijos,
que conozco desde que nacieron y que ahora son adolescentes.

how i solitude adore

O solitude, my sweetest choice!
Places devoted to the night,
Remote from tumult and from noise,
How ye my restless thoughts delight!

O heav'ns! what content is mine
To see these trees, which have appear'd
From the nativity of time,

And which all ages have rever'd,
To look today as fresh and green
As when their beauties first were seen...
