What To Do in a Dark Night

Collective alchemy is underway.
Dark Nights are portals.
Listen, offer yourself as kindling to a sacred fire burning in the hollow of the Great Tree.
Become incense.
Your lips and tongue and the hairs of your ears, the cell membranes of your lungs are like fish swimming in the quiet pond under moonlight here...
What is eternal cannot be harmed.
What pulses with the Great Heart has a cadence that is never outside of anything that happens in the journey called life.
Take the Hand of this knowing.
It is warm and wide, spacious as the starry sky.
Bless yourself with this water, the sacrament of witness.
Let your heart be a flower whose deep feelings gurgle into colors that are true.
As you allow this inky movement, remember the stem, the holy rain, the black soil, and the stillness.
