You have begun, you are weaving. I am in the midst of this alchemy as well and I wouldn’t want it any other way. This process is powerful, She is powerful in me. Thank you for flowing with the current and sharing this ahead of schedule. I am grateful and comforted to read your words this morning.
I intended to publish upon waking but I woke in the middle of the night. So it went out at 3:33 on 10/10. Some time after that I had a dream where I was swimming and decided to allow myself to immerse, allow myself to drown which was briefly intense but followed by a quiet peace that eventually returned to dreamless sleep.
I noticed the time in my inbox. 3:33 is significant to me. I appreciate Annette's comment below about Aphrodite, another leading clue for me. Your dream! Wow! Look at you! Submerging into the depths, and finding rest. Amazing.
Stunning Markael. What I have received and feel through your words is the same powerful drumbeat of awakening that I hear within my own listening to what is wild-and-civilized, and all the other brilliant couplets you shared. The point of them being couplets (both-and) is a profound point in and of itself, that I believe if understood more widely, would help so many relax their pushing against the current paradigm in what you pointed out really is self-judgement, and instead help to focus consciousness towards ending separation where it begins - within. I appreciate the wider view you circle us outwards into.
Thank you Emma! I sense a strong resonance in your writing, as though we are describing the same underlying perceptions and awakening current in our own words. And I found it a most interesting synchronicity that you shared a picture of yourself wearing the yin-yang symbol when I had already decided to lead this essay with it.
These couplets are also a new framework for me, and I'm realizing that most of my past Dendroica writings address one or another of them. If I ever do manage to compile my writings into a book form (I've started several times only to lose energy and flow off in a new direction) I could envision the couplets as an encompassing structure.
I'm glad I could connect you and Kate - our network of resonant connections is growing if still a bit slowly...
The couplets are profound, and I can imagine them as a powerful framework for a book. Like all offerings from our deep selves, they come together when the time is right and the energy has percolated long enough. I trust in the perfect timing and flow for your book!
As well I hold the same trust for our resonant web. We are all ‘here’, just waiting to find each other.
Hehe, I thought of my shirt too. I had a remembrance recently that when I was very young, first grade probably, the yin/yang symbol was the first emblem I knew of that represented what was ‘cool’ …now, I cannot get over how synchronous it is to have come back full circle to such appreciation for what that represents.
Indeed, and amen. Spiral time. Yes! Exactly this. The experience of separation, as a phase, as a stage to go through, seems to be a necessary part of life and of growing. Thanks also for linking to your other post "A Letter from Earth," because that's a fantastic post, too! 🙏🏽

It was during the hour of Venus/Aphrodite. She who embodies the attributes on the right.

Thank you for the advice to pick an unhurried time to read your essay. It is beautiful! And it will be shared. 🙏
Oh Mark, this is so beautiful. My heart sings as I weep for joy.
Thank you

Interconnectedness.
It's a thing.
