THEMES
1. Vulnerable and fragile
Vulnerable is the word most frequently mentioned (10).
Words such as fragile (6), frail (2), fragile (7), insecure, fine (2) and fragile (3) convey the same feeling.
Reference is made to the weak stem of the plant, unprotected by leaves. Fragility (3) is therefore an aspect of this theme: fear of breaking (2), rapid crushing (2).
2. Open
The second most common theme is closely related to being unprotected and is Openness (8). Open eyes' is a nice image in this context.
3. Small and fine
Words like sweet (3), young (3), innocent (2), small (2) and teen refer to this theme. Modesty is mentioned four times, as well as simple and refined. Careful, humble, prilled, slender and slender refer to the delicate vulnerability.
4. Brave and clear
Brave (2), proud (2), clear and bright are terms that are opposed to the theme of small and fine. And Arenaria can even be strong (see next theme).
5. Sturdy and rigid
Firmness (2), strength (1), perseverance (2), stubbornness, sharpness, stubbornness (2), self-confidence and even angular, rigid and inflexible are the opposite of vulnerability and fragility.
6. Cheerful
Bouncing, laughing and especially cheerfulness (6) are mentioned. Fresh (2) and unpredictable are also words that emerge as well as happy, playful, free and superficial.
7. Pure and light.
Purity (3), cleanliness, gratitude, radiance (3) and especially light (5) (bright light, sunlight) are words that are less often described in provings. Searching for light and warmth'. Clean appearance is a polarity of this radiant light.
8. Sweet and accommodating
Sweet (3), obedient (2) and kind, friendly, helpful, feminine, sensitive, are terms used by a few.
9. Sexuality
There seems to be an early sexuality: craving, sex, sexual maturity are concepts that have been mentioned.
10. Fear
Fear in general (3) and specific fears for roughness, storm, people, only his (parents dead) are written down. Also not being afraid is mentioned once. And a prover feels a scream. The fear of being picked, oppressed or cut off is directly related to the plant.
11. Demonstrating
I want to be there (3), manifest myself. Here I am. I want to dare to be there, to show myself (3). I want to get more body to be seen..this feeling seems to arise from the vulnerability (theme 1) and openness (theme 2).
Some provers want protection (2), a shell, others want to take up their own place, more space or more space. They want to stand firm in life and try to reach out to the outside world. This development goes step by step.
12. Growing, up
It's not just about manifesting, but also about growing (4) and going up (3), about freeing oneself from a hostile environment. It is about standing out in modesty. And it's about more, about achieving something (despite its narrow base), about being famous, craving tenderness and fame, about shining despite being small and thus showing that you are there. Words like ambition (3), reaching out, only at the top, walking on toes, being in the head and maybe lust for life illustrate this theme.
13. Expression and communication
Other forms of manifestation are: not mincing your words, being clear and articulate, communication, seeking solidarity, and building bridges.
14. Physical
What strikes me here is that the provers call it:
(a) the joints (3) including the back, shoulder, knee, neck and elbow
(b) the senses in the main area: ear, nose, mouth and eye
(c) chest and stomach; and
(d) expression by throat, speech and tongue
