Sophie Strand's Poetic Tapestry: A Reflection on 'The Madonna Secret

We are fans, no doubt.

In Sophie Strand's "The Madonna Secret," she delicately weaves together the intricate threads of womanhood, life, and the cosmic energy that envelops us. Sophie's poetic prowess transcends the ordinary, creating a tapestry of words that resonates with the very essence of existence.

As a busy and strong woman navigating life's demanding currents, I find solace in Sophie's ability to articulate the profound connections between femininity and the pulsating energy surrounding us. Her words are an invitation to explore the depths of our own existence and embrace the powerful force that binds us all.

Yet, amidst the beauty of Sophie's prose, there's a subtle weariness that echoes in the hearts of busy women like myself. The richness of her writing, while captivating, can also be an emotional investment, a journey that demands our time and reflection.

In the hustle of a strong woman's daily life, Sophie's intricate tapestry becomes both a sanctuary and a challenge. While I admire the depth of her insights, there's a paradoxical fatigue that settles in—a reminder of the delicate balance we must strike between self-discovery and the demands of a bustling life.

Sophie Strand's "The Madonna Secret" is undoubtedly a literary gem, an exploration of womanhood that transcends the ordinary. As I immerse myself in her poetic world, I'm reminded that, like the Madonna herself, strength and vulnerability coexist. In appreciating Sophie's brilliance, let us also acknowledge the dance between the profound and the practical, finding beauty in both.

Making a spiral (1 of 2)

You're sitting on your back deck. It's mid-morning in late Spring. You have your coffee in hand and the local paper on your lap. You're looking out over the back 40. You decided not to plant corn on this parcel to let the soil recuperate a bit.   There's an article in the paper about a farmer who lives not too far from you who swears he saw a UFO. You don't think so. But to prove to yourself you're open-minded, you get the idea to make some kind of design on your parcel that would signal to a UFO that there is semi-intelligent life down here. You look up how to make a spiral. You decide that an Archimedean spiral (named after the 3rd-century BC Greek mathematician Archimedes) will suffice.  You are going to make something that looks like this: You figure 800 footsteps will do. You grab a stake, measuring tape, and a pair of snow shoes. You pound the stake and start walking in a circle, letting out the measuring tape a little at a time. It takes you less than 20 ...

Dear Diary

 I'm reading Brian Eno's diary, which is just a day by day journal of one year in his life. In it somewhere he lists his idea of some of the things he is, in the form of I am... and then each of the things he considers himself to be are either a or an.  So "I am creative" wouldn't work, but "I am a music producer" would.  I quickly closed the book before I read his list and began writing my own, which I may or may not share here.  But I wanted you guys to think about creating your own list and think about sharing it here.  Maybe I'm an optimist to think you might be interested in doing so, but really it might be fun. There might even be some overlap! And don't worry, it seems only two other people would be reading your list.
