Humor and Your SoulCollage® Cards

OverIndulgence

Using expressive images of children to represent parts of our self can make a card truly funny, like this one by Mili Ballard called OverIndulgence. A few of the words that come from this card:

… I Am One Who can feel compassion for that “over doing” little kid part of me that feels like I “blew it” once again by “over doing” to attempt to sooth a hurt place inside me in a way that doesn’t really serve …

The Conformist

Images of animals can also represent parts of the self, and the archetypes as well. For example, this one by Marlene Warneke called The Conformist. This card is in the Card Gallery section of the website under Committee cards, so you can read its words on that page. (Click the image to enlarge it and the words come up.) Often we receive hilarious images of animals in human positions over the internet, so print some for your collection.

One always needs to be on the look-out for funny images and tear them out in case you or some one else can use them. Ads, cartoons, humorous greeting cards and, of course, magazines are sources. I have several more examples that I would love to share with you, but space doesn’t allow. I hope to have a new section up on the website soon, a Humor Gallery, so watch for it.

Picnic with the Great Mother

I’ll conclude with one more card that, like all the others, is both funny and profound - to me anyway. It is by Sharry Teague and is called Picnic with the Great Mother.


One of the lines Sharry includes with this card is this: I Am One Who who dares invite the Great Mother on a Picnic. What fun! I want to come, too.
