She's a Real Mother

Mutha's got eyes in the back of her head.

So What's Up with the Green Chick?



Say hello to Green Tara everyone. She is a Buddhist deity, sometimes referred to as the "Mother of all Buddhas" -- so you can see how she might hold some interest for me.
But that is not the only reason I admire her. She can be the symbol for perfect compassion, but can also be eight-armed and wrathful. She is said to depict generosity, but also quick thinking.

Sounds like a Mutha to me.

P.S. I found this image quite a while ago and loved it. Now, as I post it, I realize that I have no artist's name. Sorry Green Tara artist...and thanks.

And thanks for the return pop! The White Tara always strikes me as the good sister and Green as the fiesty one.

Since I barged in, SSA is FN's daughter of course, Stainless Steel Amazon. More than that she'll have to fill you in on.

Green tara is beautiful and is perfect for you. Just wanted to pop in and say good luck on NaNoWriMo! I'm not in that league or mentally geared, but definitely next year (pretty lame I know).

Happy Halloween.

OFCOURSE! SSA threw me, but how could I forget Stainless Steel Amazon! I really do need a dance card for this blogger thing.

Thanks for the good luck! I will need it!
