Formation Faux Sand Painting
Here is the symbolism of my sand painting, created at a
Formation
retreat, February, 2003:
Alám Misqal: The Archetypal World
The Bell: A wake-up call
The Flowers: Fragrance of the Beloved
The Tied-up Man: Mark's unwillingness to discuss his spirituality in the lecture hall
The Butterfly and the Pentacle: Spiritual freedom through the Bahá'í Faith
The Peace Symbol: The juxtaposition of two types of peace, represented by the cowboy and the feather
The Cowboy: Radical struggle for liberations from oppression and peace
The Feather: Spiritual peace
The Heart: My heart is wrapped up in all the above
