Take a journey with me. See what I see and gain understanding. Many see the words that I write and are inspired, intrigued, and even moved. And I appreciate the support and comments and have made some very dear friends. But, my journey is more. It is not only the light and the knowledge and my beliefs that you read about here. It is full of deep ravines where even the brightest of light cannot begin to penetrate. Valleys so deep that even the Moon and stars cannot be seen from its depths.
It is from these places where my real leaning has taken place. It has shown me who I am and what it is that I am capable of. Only a few know the depths that I have been. The pain, the sufferings, the trials and tribulations. The wounds that were so deep that they should have been a mortal wounds bringing death it’s self. The smell of fire and brimstone that permeates your entire being. Even the most masochistic would have trouble bearing and the most sadistic could not dish out. Yet, here I am, standing before you in Love and desire.
My scars are deep reminders of the journeys into those dark desolate places. But it is because of my journeys to the deep that I have been able to journey to the highest of heights. Past the Sun and stars themselves. To love those around me with no expectations placed upon it. Freely given. To be able to gain understanding of where people are at and provide comfort, guidance, and a place of refuge. To see through the pain of others in order to come along side of them to be there so they do not fall.
I will thank someone that I consider a dear friend who help to open my eyes to this and helped me to understand that it is the balance of the darkness and the light that makes us who we are. And that if you do not embrace the darkness and celebrate it as we should, we will never stretch the boundaries of who we are. There must be balance. There must be a stretching. One cannot have the light without the darkness.
And remember that a Phoenix rises from the ashes.
