2006.02.05 Melodies of Fire & Love

[AppleSeed]

an overarching energy which could encompass both my deep desire for simple devotional practice as well as a deep-seated impulse to take for myself things that I like.

It seems to me that the impulse to take for oneself a thing of beauty is only a short step away from the desire to become that beauty, so it would be two sides of the same coin, of the same energy. And this being an oh so short, but often oh so difficult, step away from knowing how you already are and always were the beauty you seek.

That's my song, for whatever it's worth.

I have several times placed myself in the situation of that being taken, so I believe I need to work with the same energies.
