SoulCollage - Committee Group Complete

The Linguist. I am the one tasting the air currents around you, who identifies the necessary voices & spices amid the din and dust. I am the one who translates & edifies your internal comprehension of sensory, tactile, & verbal vocabulary and enables your quick fluency of intellect, insight, and intuition. The Man Whisperer. I am the one embedded in your left brain: linear, practical, and incisive. I am the beacon drawing forward the wounds of the men you know or meet, the backboard and sounding board receiving their confessions and confusions, and returning bluntly-formed responses in the to-the-point dialect to which they relate. I am the reason you so often find yourself in the position of The Listener, hearing what others don't hear, with the expectation that you'll provide answers. Passport. I am the one who seeks then delivers to you the world & beyond, via books, movies, music, travel, and your dreams. I am the nomad feeding your wanderlust. I am your insatiable curiosity. [Note: inside the glassine envelope is a passport, which already contains ephemera from the travels overseas I've already made.] Permission Slip. I am the one cataloguing your internalized voices, memorizing and categorizing, paralyzed from action by my need to please others. In that way, I strangle your unique voice with fear, indecision, and passivity. The Courtesan. I am the one who says YES to your passions: cerebral, emotional, physical & creative. I am the seducer of color & dimension from all life's sources, the one channeling them to and through your pulse. I am the one who knows how stunning & many are your talents and dreams, and who courts whatever you need to effect them. I am you, irresistibly. The Loner. I am the one strong & soaring within you, your deepest unselfconscious 'alone', your wholly absorbed inward-focused eye. I rise up within to meet you when you are by yourself, & together we become your maximum realization. I am your winged but rooted absolute core, and the reason you have always embraced solitude.

These last few have been more slippery than the initial ones -- they're less familiar, precisely, to me, and each card took a LONG time to formulate because the images didn't resound so deeply. I really struggled with The Linguist, but I realize NOW it's because I had a limited view of her as just the one gifted with spoken languages, and she's infinitely richer than that. So I DID have to back off my own expectations and preconceptions to allow these others to introduce their particulars and nuances.
