#VA7, ep. 10 Empires Fall and become Broken Mirrors

We reach the conclusion of the convoluted story of the Fall of the Inca empire, which we have been following in Loren McIntyre’s powerful book; The Incredible Incas and their Timeless Land. As I thought about the betrayals, murders, opposing forces and interests which were at play as this extraordinary civilization was broken into severed fragments, the image of a broken mirror stayed in my mind. We need those broken mirrors, however convenient it might seem to simply sweep up the pieces and throw them away. They beg for attention and most of all, curious, ingenious eyes. A broken mirror is still a mirror, and its brokenness offers no option but to embrace the diversity and multiplying power of its many, disparate parts. Dedicated to all Mothers, wishing we sincerely celebrate  the many ways in which they are sacred seeds that carry, tend and perpetuate life.
