Thanks for the intriguing insights and kind comments on this photo, Dawn. Fascinating point about multi-faced biblical angels.
Oh, and thanks for asking about Tsuki's name! I was going to relate a story about it. It is pronounced with a silent "t". Sue-key.
The story goes...our family got our first dog, Samurai two years ago. We named him Samurai due to my husband's passion for Japanese swordsmanship. We decided to get a female dog so "Sami" would have a mate. As we waited for weeks for the new puppy to be weaned from her mother, I tried to come up with a name. I wanted something meaningful. One night I dreamed of a goddess named Cynthia. I researched this name the next day and found she was a Greek Goddess of the moon. This was just the sort of meaning I had wanted in a name, but the name Cynthia didn't seem right. So I inquired inwardly to my guides what name would be best for the new dog we had chosen.
Two hours later a name popped into my mind...Suki. I liked it. I wondered what it might mean if it had an origin, so I researched it. During my search I stumbled upon Suki spelled with a "T". And much to my surprise it meant "moon" in Japanese. And you know that feeling when you have a synchronicity...that's what I felt. I got my goddess and a Japanese name to boot.
When we finally went to pick up Tsuki, the breeder lady had begun calling her Tsuki for us. But before she had her name, she had to give her a name for paperwork. She had named her Isis. And as I found this out, my jaw dropped because I knew that Isis was the name of an Egyptian Moon Goddess.
