Journeys through the elements, to me at least, are some of the most soul searching pathways to healing that one can take.
Even though I've worked through elements in younger years, the current journey has been the most life changing, dragging me through the dirt and mud, scraping and sloughing off pain, pushing me off cliffs into deep whirlpools of darkness, drifting downstream and tearing out my heart, replacing it with something new and connected to energies unknown. Drifting to the end of the river where the sun shines through the trees, dries the skin, warms the soul and shapes the mind to match the heart.
Shifting into a consciousness bearing tendrils of smoke wrapping tightly around the vision of life.
Chimes begin to ring softly at first, vibrating waves of sound traveling further into the sight of the stars in a vast expanse of space filled with the breathe of the green ones, the wild ones and us. Exchanging one another's force, mixing pieces of souls from one particle of dust to another
when the wings of the owls, the hawks and the eagles spread the memories of time. ~ hippie
