The asking was perfectly alright by me.
What I do not like is the quoting of a post that already was deleted.
 



I'd like to do that (delete the posts I quote that you delete), but my fingers won't lift to the keyboard.  

I think that's because I don't find your posts overly offensive, although I can see where on some occasions they might be embarassing to you.  I hope you'll forgive me.

Let's have a look at you, then.

Why is it that you look exactly as I imagined you to look--ha ha!  :)

 

You nailed it, Mark!  @Taomeow gets my vote for posting the photo? painting?  photo retouched as a painting?  that seems to most completely evoke the essence of her presence here on the board.  There's a sense of darkness, forboding, to the environment in the picture. It's not a safe and welcoming place.  And yet the woman pictured seems alert and resourceful, entirely ready to face whatever challenges might emerge from the mist.  She's got her big boots and her gun.  A tiger follows behind, quiet in the moment and yet we feel a latent ferocity.  To me it seems like the woman and the tiger are intimately connected, mirror images of each other, mutually co-occuring emanations of the same strong spiritual stuff.  This may not be Taomeow as she is (I wouldn't know) but it's certainly Taomeow as I imagine her.

Thank you for your vision. :) 

It's a painting by a Polish artist Jakub Rozalski, creator of pictures of alternative realities, this one is of an alternative 1920s Europe ravaged by WWI.  It was an illustration for some board game I'm not familiar with.  The woman is supposed to be a Russian aristocrat turned survivalist/warrior, and she does look like a young version of me, and seems to be marching to the same tune as an aspect of me -- though not all of me and not even the primary manifestation in this-here reality.  But definitely an aspect from some alternative one.

I was drawn to the sword, then noticed the tiger and finally... the drum mag.

Check, check and check!  :wub:

 

edit to add:

and at a glance my son said... that's a ppsh 41, soviet smg ww2 model, made at the end of the war after the 31 with a forward moving action.  (he approves)

Steve, buddy--you have misattributed the quote to me.  You will have to ask liminal_luke,  although I don't know if he's really willing to go there right now.

 

p.s.--I see where he went there, yay Liminal!

 

 

 

No idea how that happened... I simply highlighted and quoted from LL's post.

My apologies.

I've corrected the attribution, thanks for pointing that out Mark.

So wonderful to see those of you who shared photos!

You all look radiant and wise to my tired eyes. 

:wub:

Liminal Luke said -

It's odd that sharing a picture of my physical presence would seem so challenging when I've shared so many other details of my life here over the years.

 

 

I think is that precisely why?

 

I hadn't thought of it that way but I think you're on to something.

I was gonna say this before .... why does everyone look different than I imagined  ? 

 

Then again I do have an unusual imagination  ..... I imagine Liminal Luke as a tall thin guy  (like a meerkat )  and Apech as an actual cat ,  Silent Thunder as someone from ZZ Top   ....

 

( a bit like  Chris McCausland ( blind )  described what he thought David Mitchell sounded like  ( from 'Would I Lie to You ' )  ; 'I imagine you as a Toby Jug of a duck .   )
