Words of Power: Only True Sanctuary

San Francisco, July 2015

On the long journey into the night of of this life, the deep, abiding embrace of Soma and Psyche is our only true sanctuary. It moves with us, wherever we go, which way we turn, and it is often simply called "Shadow." On this journey, there are treacherous mountain passes, with verdant gardens hidden within. And there are desolate wildernesses, with ever-flowing springs hidden within. And yes, traveling on, there are moments in which there is so much to say that the only way to articulate it all is to surrender to utter silence. The revelation wrapped within the veil of such moments is that this listening is the singing of that great song that cannot be sung. Yes.

Midnight. Half moon. Swiftly moving clouds. San Francisco roof top. July, 2015.
