going here and there, my high school friend Amanda's house, car travels, and a small gathering, I was accompanied by a pack of animal friends. Amongst them were a small cat, a leopard cub, and five to six other different species of creature I was caring for as my own. .... Later I am driving a police car, with an officer in the passenger seat. I try to light up a smoke, but the contents spill out onto my lap where a piece of paper lay. There were green bits mixed in with the tobacco, and the police officer requested that I didn't get any of it on his car. I scooped the ganja up and blew it out the window. I proceeded to roll another smoke as I was still driving his squad car. I think we were in Reno, and we passed a hotel that had crazy architectural angles. I remembered having a night there, on the roof's corner with Carey., just hanging out.. there was a sad vibe around this.. like an argument had happened there..this was a dream memory. ... Later we arrive at a small venue where an intimate group of family was to watch a movie. Kaia was there, and we were up to our old shenanigans, golden coyote style. We saved our seats....
Up to a certain point it corresponds to landscape-symbolism in general,
of which it forms one representational aspect, embracing the important symbols
of level and space, that is, height and situation. With the dawning of history there
arose, according to René Guénon, a true, ‘sacred geography’ and the position,
shape, doors and gates, and general disposition of a city with its temples and
acropolis were never arbitrary or fortuitous, or merely utilitarian. In fact, cities
were planned in strict accord with the dictates of a particular doctrine; hence the
city became a symbol of that doctrine and of the society which upheld it (28).
The city walls had magic powers since they were the outward signs of dogma,
which explains and justifies Romulus’s fratricide. Ornamental reliefs on capitals,
lintels, and tympana of the Middle Ages often depict the outlines of a walled city,
although in a way which is more emblematic than symbolic. These ornaments are
a kind of prefiguration of the heavenly Jerusalem. An angel armed with a sword is
sometimes to be seen at the city gate (46). Jung sees the city as a mother-symbol
and as a symbol of the feminine principle in general: that is, he interprets the City
as a woman who shelters her inhabitants as if they were her children; that is why
the two mother-gods Rhea and Cybele—as well as other allegorical figures derived from them—wear a crown after the pattern of a wall. The Old Testament
speaks of cities as women (31).
