I decided to open this blog to honor and journal a very intimate process taking place in my heart.  A process of reflexion, of shedding of renewal and ultimatly of letting go.  Like a snake sheds its skin, so my heart sheds an affection, old ideas about my self and others, right now it is shedding the wishes, hopes and desires of a love that I so wanted to be. And in the new skin that is slowly revealed I am getting reaquainted with myself, and I am caring and loving myself.

I chose the name orouboros, because I have always been fascinated by how snakes shed their skin to become new once again.  In ancient times, snakes represented fertility, renewal and creative life force. The shedding of their skin was a  symbol of rebirth, transformation and healing.

The ouroboros is a symbol of  self reflexion and of the passing of cycles. A wise man once said that  just before the beginning of a new cycle there is a time in between that doesn’t belong to the last cycle or the next cycle. That is where I am now. That is where my heart is now. This where I am learning to love myself again.
