Altars: Orientations in Time

Week 8 - Pairings

There is a posture of poise, of being both local and dispersed, still and fluid, an occupation of the tipping point, a suspension, a grace.  Would you be counting costs? Doubting? An underpinning of separateness. You study the ground for flaws. You study the ground for a strong foundation.

You would stand very far off. You covet the distance and its perspective. There is calm in this, no grip of fear. There is value in this. There is also value in the shift and tumble. Both. The both. Be both.

When the shimmer shift of what might be and all its slippery unfolding threatens to leach the joy from you, name your blessings. Sing the litany of all that you love. Light the dark with them. Shade the glare. Map the way.
