Red String of Fate (1of 3) “An invisible thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break” -Ancient Chinese Belief I cannot cut this thread–It’s been attached to me for ages. It’s been dragged through the mud and pulled behind me for decades. The bright red has faded to a pale pink, and yet it is still intact; still connects me to you. Yet, lately there is something new and powerful awakening inside of me. I can feel it; perhaps you can too and that is why you are so hesitant to explore… #art #poem #poetry #verse #love #redstringoffate #originalpoem #contemporaryart #mixedmedia #chineselegend #asianbelief #soulmates #connections #linocut #linoprintmaking

(Red String of Fate 3 of 3) Like Icarus, I want to touch the sun. You are the spray from the ocean weighing me down, protecting me from my own desires Keeping the sun from melting my wings of wax... I keep you from drowning. You are the little star weight on the end of my balloon. Together we dance between water and sky. The string that connects us holds the secret to perfect balance. Perhaps we are still figuring out how to fly. --Poem by Lisa K.

(Red String of Fate: 2 of 3) You may know me better than anyone Yet there are still parts of me that you haven't seen. Places where you have only begun to scratch the surface. Perhaps you fear that if you dig too deep, you may cause a tear, and what has been bubbling up will come bursting out like hot lava, and you certainly don't want there to be another Pompeii. I am too much. I always want more. I love too hard, and I cannot be contained. You can lid me like a pot but there is no turning down the heat. #art #poem #poetry #redstringoffate #redstring #linocut #printmaking #painting #watercolor #soulmates #chineselegend #mixedmedia #contemporaryart #originalpoem

"Akai ito (赤い糸) This is a legend of Chinese origin that tells about an invisible red thread that binds people who are destined to be together, regardless of time, place or circumstance. The thread can stretch or tangle itself , but it will never leave. That is, at some point in life, these kindred spirits will meet."

WISHING YOU A HAPPY MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL! The Mid-Autumn Festival is upon us! "The celebration, which traces back centuries to Ancient China, is a deep rooted annual tradition centered around a family reunion and giving thanks to the moon for the harvest. " 🎑🎑"Fueled with determination and a passion for science, a bright young girl builds a rocket ship to the moon to prove the tales her late mother used to tell her. She’s out to prove the existence of the legendary Moon Goddess." 🎑🎑🎑CHANG'E BB always believed in the Lady Moon. Nice to know it's true. "There she ends up on an unexpected quest, and discovers a whimsical land of fantastical creatures." 🎑🎑🎑🎑"Over the Moon is an exhilarating musical adventure about moving forward, embracing the unexpected, and the power of imagination."  BB is soooo going to see este. #Chineselegend #girlastronaut #GutsyGoddess #midautumnfestival  www.netflix.com/OverTheMoon  @OverTheMoonMovie #OverTheMoon https://www.instagram.com/p/CFyJ7EeBSIT/?igshid=byt1m917u8zv

At work (Toys"R"Us) on 10/27/17...saw this at the storeroom and thought it was cool...from all the Disney Princesses...Mulan was the only one that was based on the Chinese legend of "Hua Mulan" a warrior, she was a strong, beautiful, and intelligent woman. (If a man can go to war, so can a woman)...women has the same rights as men. 😇 Posted: 10/29/17 #disney #mulan #36thanimatedfeature #handynasty #chineselegend #huamulan #womenrights #genderequality (at Toronto, Ontario)
