Kokopelli


I've long been drawn to imagery of Kokopelli, a mythical trickster deity. Yet strangely, I don't think I've ever owned any objects with Kokopelli depicted. Though I had a few image files downloaded ages ago. Like this one above from an unknown website.

Until yesterday. I now possess a 2 inch stone with Kokopelli carved into it. Now Kokopelli can go with me in my pocket anywhere.

I went downtown with my partner, David. David had a meeting and while he did his thing... I went browsing in OutWord Bound , Indianapolis's gay and lesbian bookstore. Just before I left, I passed a display of stones with various symbols and Kokopelli caught my eye.

Synchronicity.

Go you must
No guest
Shall stay long
In one place forever
Love will be lost
If you sit too long
At a friend’s fire.
