It occurred to me that I need to find a different name for the “cyclones” I am making. When people hear me talk about cyclones, they think of destruction and chaos, but that’s not the meaning I am attempting to convey.
Instead, I want to convey life, growth, becoming, ambition, striving. The form of the cyclone is what I like, the circling and cycling upward, like a life unfolding.
Perhaps “funnel cloud” would be a better term. ”Funnel cloud, a rapidly rotating funnel-shaped cloud extending downward from the base of a cumulonimbus cloud, which, if it touches the surface of the earth, is a tornado or waterspout.”
I will keep pondering and looking for a better term.
