It is by way of compassionate confrontation of the shaky,
the raw, the tender, and the vulnerable that we dance within the opposites and
provide sanctuary for the unconscious to come into form. It is always possible
to weave a new story, to dream a different dream, and to discover new meaning.
Though often forgotten in the busyness of the inner and
outer worlds – and entangled in the unending conventional and spiritual to-do
lists – the allies are never far. Whether taking form as another person, a
feeling, the moon, an animal, or a vision, love is at all times shifting shapes
in order to make itself known here.
At times, the ally will appear in sweet, peaceful, and
calming forms; obvious, noticeable, and easy to integrate. Let us be grateful
for the messengers of the light when they dance in clear form.
At other times, the manifestation will be fierce, wrathful,
and of the dark, oriented not in peace, but in wholeness. While not as natural,
we can come to be grateful for this one as well, who despite its appearance,
has come not to harm, but to reveal. All revelation requires both creation and
destruction. We cannot have one without the other.
