The carousel has a marvelous rabbit (trickster) image, which initially brought me to the sight. In this class I keep on circling back to my internal dilemma of chaos vs order, organization vs creativity, and the reading on the trickster is no different; he seems to be little animal who darts in between different worlds. As The Lucky Find states, " trickster is the mythic embodiment of ambiguity an ambivalence, doubleness and duplicity, contradiction and paradox". I love that there is an archetype that plays with this contrast...if feels comforting that my inner struggle can be more playful, and reserved for the trickster inside of myself.I see the trickster coming from the creative side and hopping over to the more structured calling "'Dare to be different!'" as in The Trickster writes, "'Hear and speak that which shatters tradition!'"
trickster is an interesting archetype for you to work with, esp. disguised as a bunny! i see connections between this and your secret self, and your not so secret self- that yearns to break through the walls of convention and offer up "another way" to be in this world.
ReplyDeletethis is a positive reframing of chaos, that might work well for you...but what would the trickster look like in corp. america?
