If you were forced to get a tattoo, with no way out of it, what/where would it be, and why would it be that?
Oh,I love this question!I am almost 70 years old; my daughter has arm-length tattoos on both her arms.I am oldage in thinking…except I do agreed with free thought and expression.On a Mother’s Day soon, I will join my daughter at the tattoo artist place of her choice o get a tattoo that I can see and be inspired by.It will be, as of today, ocean waves with a Buddha floating calmly on top…I will tell you that on her 21st biddy, my daughter was in SF….she had waned me ahead that she would be probably be returning home to CT with a tattoo…when I ( English teacher ) saw her at the airport and saw the tattoo on her ankle, I said: Oh, it’s a Venn diagram! as she said: NO! It’s the hobo symbol for hope!We were both confused, each knowing we were each right, as we repeated our identification of the tattoo, looking wide-eyed at each other…..so much to learn from listening to different perspectives. Always.Two circles “bumping into each other”….For teachers, it was the Venn diagram of similarities and differences.For travelers in the know, it was the hobo signal to keep going, ’cause the wheels wold be bringing you to a better place; keep the faith; keep going.I learned a lot that day about listening, about perspectives, about my daughter, and about the legacy of my railroad/sometime-train hopper grandfather.Keep the faith; keep moving on.I see all tattos in a new http://light….as a message of faith and affirmation for so many who want that visual to keep them moving on in whatever direction they have chosen.Me, I want that Buddha on the ocean waves…….keeping calm during the waves of life, however storm-filled.
