Found this video of Angeles Arrien speaking last month about the meaning of the five symbols found in art around the world. Those five symbols are the circle, square, triangle, spiral and the equidistant cross.
Which of those five shapes do you feel most drawn to?
Number the five shapes 1 to 5 with 1 being your most preferred shape. Arrien talks about the meanings of the positions and the shapes at: http://vimeo.com/15657160
Tomorrow I’ll share a picture of a monotype I did of a circle.

Monotype by Mary Gow
The Circle – wholeness, the experience of unity
The Square – stability, solidity, security
The Triangle – dreams, visions, goals
The Cross – relationships, integration
The Spiral – growth, evolution
You can take Arrien’s preferential shapes test in her book, available at her site: http://www.angelesarrien.com/products.htm
My favorite shape didn’t make the 5 universal ones. Look for a post in the future about this.
