Challenge

When you tire of too much light,

beware! To seek My depths

requires falling, a stripping at the gates,

the plucking of feathers.

It requires nakedness

and the courage to face your fears. 

There is wounding waiting,

and dismemberment,

before the re-membering,

reclaiming, healing and rebirth.

Where does the wounding come from?

I ask this Myself! 

The healing comes

from the understanding

that we are all

sacred parts of a sacred whole.

When I find time to explore

My own darkness again,

ever-deepening,

it will have to be by My own choice,

in admiration of Inanna,

looking for My Sister Self

(and when I descend again,

will I find hell empty? Aditi’s mirror-frame!)
