Good tidings friends, new member here. Few words describe what life has been for me these last several years. A journey I embarked upon without realizing. Beginning just outside the Village of Mind; the center of what is known, I peered into the dark from the edge of the woodland. Suddenly I found myself traversing a dense forest of heart and consciousness, embroiled in an unfurling of the physical body and an emancipation of the spirit. The shattering of preconceived notions took place with each hack and slash through the brush. It took me hundreds, if not thousands of cuts to realize I didn't have to fight this change. The less I struggled and the more I went with it, my mind opened to new people, methodologies, insights and possibilities. Suddenly it wasn't so dark.
Little did I know I was not navigating this proverbial forest alone. Fellow adventurers and truth seekers, finders of wisdom and loss, grief and love accompanied me alike. They were all around and it only took making it to the first clearing, the first oasis to understand.
This space and those who fill it make for the shepherds of the flock. Keep watch over those still lost in the thicket for though they may hack and slash, it's only a matter of time until they find a meadow such as this.
To Love and Light in the Dark
