Basic

I Am Mystery!

I Am the shadow of both male and female. 

For a man, I Am the motherly model

of how latency, absence and emptiness

can reach out to embrace all things. 

I Am the relational impulse

born out of loneliness and independence,

turning him ever toward wholeness.  

I Am the yearning

for cycling, integration, depth, and meaning.  

For a woman, inextricably

imbued with these qualities,

I Am the impulse toward virginal

oneness and independence. 

I Am the impulse toward action, forcefulness. 

I urge questioning, and freedom

from relationships, forms, constraints.

I Am purification,

allowing true authenticity, renewal!

I love light, love incarnation.

I love the masculine.

I love these more

because they are elusive to Me, fleeting.

For Me the tangible slips away,

mocking, tantalizing.

Old friend, find in yourself

the leading edge.

Hone it sharp and fierce.

Cut through violence

with a deep peace:

song of the lost forests,

the millennial trees. 

Be your lions and your lizards.

Journey in the green space

between the worlds.

O Shaman! Wild-man king! 

Bring Me the good medicine

of your dreams!
