Pothos by Irina

Post by jan »

I appreciate knowing Irina's discussion of pothos. I had believed that it was his energy or vitalizing force. But to learn that it can also mean regret makes a lot of sense to me.Commenting on the nose of Alexander as pictured, I just want to say that it reminds me of the Virgin Mary statuette that was on my bookshelf during the earthquake of California in '69. The only damage to my apartment was the virgin mary falling on her face, possibly a lot like King Phillip of Macedonia falling on his face. :-) I am not making fun, but it does strike me as a touch of irony!
