Reclaiming This Icon

[mlerules]

Several years back, the poly fambily unit known as we3 (or perhaps simply as CopperMoon), consisting of lightfoote, wildwoosi and myself, each got one of these copper pendants at a RenFaire in CA. One side was stamped w/the CopperMoon logo and t'other w/something else (mine: this labyrinth, ALF: bear head, Woosi: stylized W). (The bee bling came from my Mom.)

I haven't worn mine since I got the infamous Something Must Change e-mail the morning of 08/15/11 - and I shan't wear it again. In a few weeks though, when down in SF at Dickens, I hope to procure another one for myself (and put my bee bling on't). It'll have this labyrinth on one side and something else (I'm not sure yet what) on t'other side.

As of now though, I'm gonna start using this icon again, as it's mine separate and apart from "we3" or "us." Somehow this helps me feel somewhat better.

I hadn't known you were in a poly family. I'm sorry that it ended, and am glad that you are reclaiming things.

Thank you. I think we'll likely end up as friends - which I generally do w/my ex's - but it's gonna take s'more time/processing.

Blessed Be sista!!!

Come to think of it I only have two ex's I cannot count as friends today... one victimized me and I would NEVER attempt to build something there again and the other... well we have just gone on separate paths. We're acquaintances at best now but that's really OK.

Like you said, it will take time and processing but since I know that you are all fine, strong, and loving people; I don't see ya'll walking away from each other forever.

Reclaiming things that are sacred, no matter where they may have began or merged with others is just one more step towards healing your body, mind, and spirit!

I am sending you a lot of love sweetie. *snuggles and nips*

I'm glad to hear you're reclaiming the imagery. Bees seem to be a recurring theme for you, mayhaps your flipside would reflect that? You are sweet as honey, but pack a powerful sting when you want to, after all.

Hmm, that's a really good idea. Heh - somehow I hadn't even considered this (I know, WTF?!)

Aw, shucks...

Bees are great and a symbol of Demeter. And we know she always manages to come out the other side of her down times.

More evidence that this might be just the ticket. Hope it's an option (seems likely :-)

The most powerful thing to realize is that you are you no matter what. Together or separate, you are a wonderful person. I'm glad to know you.
