Inanna and Erishkigal

I learn to embrace

an open-ended future.

I learn to dance on the edge

of an expanding universe.

I learn that Erishkigal and I are One.

I unite the heights and depths

with My own Being

ignite My Center’s flame.

I experience Mystery

reconciling opposites.

Making peace in Myself,

I look into the mirror of Unity and see

many faces, many phases,

My moon-face of change

turning always toward renewal,

the dark-moon face of Erishkigal,

Her image as destroyer,

part of that harmony.

Erishkigal is the space inside Me

that lets My atoms whirl.

I see within Myself a sisterhood. 

And yet I yearn for sisters.

I offer My face as a map,

to the bright treasures within.

Explore

My experience of courage, freedom,

risking:

your truth the only pathway to Me.
