That was beautiful thank you, I've been resonating with Ayla Schaffer " the rose "🌹 and your retreat with your sisters was just palpable with intimacy for the symbols in my own life.
Aaaah, you wrote of strawberries, and of Humphrey Bogart, in the same piece, subtly eliding the ineluctable connection - a connection to Bogart's role as Queeg, in "The Caine Mutiny", in which strawberries play a central part.
In The Caine Mutiny, Bogart's/Queeg's mental capacity to be in charge of a war ship has been called into question, because of botched commands and operations, and because of his obsession with the part of a bowl of strawberries he believes to have been stolen.
Bogart's/Queeg's unraveling reaches its culmination at a Court Martial trial, when he testifies, in a melt-down, “Ah, but the strawberries, that’s where I had them. I proved with geometric logic that a duplicate key to the wardroom icebox did exist. I could have produced that key. They were all against me.”
Now that we know of Indra's Net (connecting everything to everything else, including tigers, falling monks, strawberries, and Humphrey Bogart), we can see that regardless of whether the strawberries were taken in the byzantine manner Queeg imagines (or in a more ordinary manner that would have satisfied Fr. William of Ockham and his razor) perhaps Bogart/Queeg (like the falling monk) was looking only for one last sweet taste of strawberry, on the way down.
And...I think I've proved this point through geometric logic.

Thanks so much Tricia!
Love your description of the retreat!

Accurate?
