The wheel
of life continues to turn. I feel the influence of Carter Shay. Voices
continue to speak to me about the complementarity of opposites; Jennet/Tam
Lin, earth/dreams, self/other, individuality/community, spirit/matter.
I am captured by a simple little vision of how oil and water move along
the surface of each other, and support each other when given a container
to hold their
relationship together. I had never thought of oil and water supporting
each other. I had always thought of them as repelling each other or
being mutually exclusive. This simple little image made me wonder about
love and relationship.
This simple
little image brought my life clearly into focus. I remembered the five
sacred elements of life, of love. I stepped closer to Carter Shay. I
asked myself anew what does dedication mean? I realized it means to
give. I suddenly melted into the freedom of giving with no expectation.
I felt completely centered. I felt
completely open to a generosity of spirit I had forgotten. My loneliness
disappeared. My sadness disappeared.
For the
moment I have come full circle in this ongoing cycle of life. I feel
like I have walked straight into a flowing energy field where the line
between matter and spirit dims. I hear as yet unanswered questions about
the relationship between unconditional love and setting boundaries.
I realize that oil and water are not as opposite as they may seem. Beyond
appearance they do have engaging common properties. My intention is
to go to Carter Shay. I know the voices will continue to speak to me.
I know the call will not go unanswered. The
wild rose continues to bloom.
