Passage of the Dark Daughter

I begin to understand.

I have found my way.

Without words,

Without reason,

I went blindly inside,

Fingertips feeling through the unending night

And found safe passage to the sky.

I found my way.

Not of this world and all its answers,

Not of sight or of numbers or of phones,

But of the ocean inside my veins.

The pressure of my pain and fear

Burst me like ripe fruit

And open,

My glistening seeds fell into me.

I look back at myself in wonder,

I found my way!

There is nothing you can give me

There is nothing I can hold to.

The way is all that matters now.

I thought it lost to time and torture,

But I followed the waters,

Oh blessed patient waters.

I found my way!

I slip beneath my waves

And into my indigo depths.

I undulate like my heart

And feel only the within.

The endless within.

The quiet dark part of me speaks.

Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel

This piece represents the presence of your internal personal guiding force within coming forward to say hello, or to make your brain explode with insights, visions, memories, emotions.  This is my recognition and interaction with my internal silent witness.  This piece and the one following in my next post are very similar, but they both took on  distinct visions so I decided to keep them separate.  They were both created from the same source material. 

I've felt this force in my life several times.  Its presence is always overwhelming and energetic.  It always seems to show up when I am writing or drawing...a time when I am not thinking of myself at all, when I am lost in the creative process.  I can sometimes tell it is coming before it shows up.  Like the tide coming in or the Moon growing fuller.

I cannot profess to have had the specific experience of  The Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel , but my experiences seem similar.  Regardless, this piece is about that idea and process.  More information may be found at Thelemapedia.
