moving past impossibilities
"Moving past one phase of one's life - transformation, and moving past impossibilities. Things seen as impossibilities at the moment"....
---Muriel Rukeyser, Interview (1972).
... and transformed into possibilities, as things begin falling into place and - or because - you decide to take care of yourself, to save yourself, and not to rely on some Prince(ss) Charming to save you. (That wouldn't be fair on the poor guy/gal, anyway.)
Were I to choose an image to illustrate the whole thing, I'd go for M.C. Escher's wonderful work (this woodcut print, for example, which I don't reproduce here for copyright reasons). Has anyone ever portrayed metamorphosis, transformation, change, impossibilities turned into possibilities, in such a playful and, at the same time, obsessive way?...
