How does one condense a journey that is not over, but that began before a magical weekend where I played the role of Queen Guinevere at the annual workshop for the Silent Eye School of Consciousness? I am not sure, but here is what has come out of it so far.
I walked the familiar path of day
to meet Snake stretching the light, illuminating
what was ready to be shed, and
what was waiting to be seen
Later, in the land of Avalon
under a full moon, old blood began its release
and I gave way to the hunt
running with the breath of Boar
into a landscape once veiled
Here, you waited with your offer
and I bowed to receive the golden crown
but the habits of the false self
are a tight wrap and I held fear
in an unsettled heart and fell
once again, into sleep
only to be awakened by light
White Phantom of the night, you pulled the shroud
of comfort with a power that unsettles dreams
and I returned to classrooms to unlearn
structure, direction and time. Lessons
from childhood asking to be forgotten
Oh Guinevere, you, now I
break the threads that bind to reveal
the fertile land within. Avalon beckons
with her green heart, waiting
for the return of her queen
Beautiful. Alethea, for so many reasons. x
