Camouflage Insights

Camouflage Insights

I went to the Medicine Cards by Jamie Sams and David Carson to look up the meaning of fox to garner fuel to title this painting. Fox means camouflage and this is part of my shared vision series. Perfect as one of the faces is hiding behind greenery. So how often do you camouflage your incredible insights? Below is the description for Fox in the Medicine cards book.
"Fox has the ability to meld into its surroundings and be un-noticed; it is a powerful gift when one is observing the activities of others. Fox medicine means adaptability cunning, observation, integration, swiftness of thought and actions, quick decisiveness in the physical world.
Observe undetected without making others self conscious. Concern for family safety, if fox share its medicine with you is to become like the wind, there but unseen. It is wise to observe the acts of others. Learn to camouflage yourself with your surroundings. Leave and come back for practice. You can use silly tactics as a camouflage.
Reverse: Watch out for Wiley fox. Do not practice camouflage to the extent that you become a wall flower. Contrary fox may be trying to tell you that you have become too invisible in climbing to a place of recognition. Become fox and enjoy the playing ground of your life."
