We have been told to purify the animal instincts, avarice, domination, lust and the others.
We are called by the black dragon, whose eye is open, who births himself as fire, and whose roar shakes the foundation of the worlds.
We are called to let in the earth energies. Memory traces kick up in the backwash of the cosmic ray. The imperative is to let go, gently let it go.
Discrimination is there.The whole organism is infused with a different energy. The breath deepens. Some of the traces strike with a fury, yet balance is regained; the mirror remains intact.
Dear Fred,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this beautiful fire dragon and reflection/poem. I feel the opposites of conflicting energies as I move toward stronger communication with the world just as lost hearing pulls me toward introversion and distance from others. I sigh in relief at your last line: "the mirror remains intact.
Wishing you exquisite balance.
Elaine
PS. Hey, there's no snow on your road.
No snow. Sun, clouds, a few days ago, rain. Temps in the 60s and 70s, desert cold at night. Thanks so very much for reading and commenting.
