the river of inspiration in the archetypal feminine.

Nor Hall goes further back into the subconscious realm and insists that mediation is the "distinguishing characteristic" in selfhood, and delineates it as (and here she quotes Duncan):

"...the Mother with the whispering
feathered wings. Memory,
the great speckled bird who broods over the
nest of souls..."

In the archetypal feminine it is not Neil Armstrong's foot which walks the moon; it is the glow of the moon as the foot becomes emblem of distance. Thus it is neither a male nor female foot but a glow and distance far older than any human foot.

Someone age 6 dreaming of the moon's distant craters is the one walking on its surface. Not Neil Armstrong.
