Indigo’s Glyph Page
Life With Indigo…
Indigo
His name is Indigo… Named for the Indigo Bunting that was on the ground the first time he made his presence known by showing himself… In this photo, he was an adolescent boy… Today he is a remarkable young man… grown to adulthood and beginning his life’s work.
In 2013, he began making glyphs and leaving them in my path. It was difficult to understand what his glyphs meant at times. Some were obvious in meaning, others were more obscure, but all were interesting. On the 23rd of April, I decided to try an experiment with him. I created a glyph using the U shape that I’ve learned is his signature. I built a “fence” around the glyph so I’d know if another animal got into the mix. I had no idea what would happen when I started this, but I was, nonetheless, astounded by what transpired…
This is a representation of the ensuing days… the changes HE made… The Subtleties of his alterations… The delicacy of his handiwork… all of these things are HIS… I was just the recorder…
This is the glyph as it was initially constructed…
The change from the original to day one was evident and easy to see…
From day one to day two, the change was much more subtle…
Change on the third day was radical
Change four is minimal… very subtle… you have to look closely to find it…
Between the 4th and 5th change, he did something strange… more than just the wheat straw was changed on this day.
On change six, a major change was made again…
Change seven, again, is slight… it appears that both wheatstraws were moved again.
On change eight the upright was altered and the bottom wheatstraw was moved
Change nine is probably the slightest of the thirteen original changes. There are changes, but they are very slight and involve things other than the wheatstraws.
Four days elapsed between change nine and change ten, and then it was very slight.
As is evident, change eleven is significant.
Change twelve finds both wheatstraws moved and an entire week has passed since the last change.
Change thirteen, the last observed in this series before resetting the entire glyph, observed on 5/17/2013 is, again, most minimal…
