Blue Galactic Hand - Solar Jaguar Moon of Intention, Day 19

8 Manik

Blue Galactic Hand

Two wild Swans

Swim stately

By the northern Shore

Symbols of the peaceful Soul

Realized and whole

Apparently a Pair

One female – one male

Calm and slow

Symbols of the Androgyne –

White as driven Snow.
