[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 673804, member: 17461"] Love is the key.... Yes, this is true I agree wholeheartedly, Leafy. I don't know exactly how this looks to me. It looks like where we are conscious, where we are present or where we already are healed and have reclaimed that territory of the heart, there is love. Love, for ourselves, love for those we love and those we don't and love in the eyes of everyone. Like a certain quality of light and music that is not exactly seen or heard and yet, we dance for the joy of it. And every animal and even, in the energy fields put out by every thing that is alive, everything moving, swirling around beautifully like joy luck. But then, for us, for me...there are places that send back no reflection. So, rather than natural access, it's like we choose our best response, our best, kindest selves, because we know ~ well, this is going to sound foolish, but because we know wrong from right and we refuse to be our abusers, or to become like them. To me, it seems that as we go deeper, as the trauma becomes wordless and from a time beyond our capacities to have made sense of what was happening to us other than abandoned...huh. I don't know. I am still following it down myself. It's pretty scary. But I am not afraid of it. I liked Copa's analogy of a signal. A warning so automatic we don't know we've switched tracks, but we are no longer on the path to presence and the power attending it. Which is probably love, and I am accidentally confusing love and power because they are the same thing, maybe. That's where we are going, though. Cedar Love vs Abandonment...do you suppose we would find the how to do this then, in the eyes of the Mary? In the cameo of the Mother and Child, maybe? I have been reading about tradition this afternoon. Here is something very beautiful, about mothers: [I]When I left her today, she put her arms around my shoulder blades to see if my wings were strong, she said. "The birds that would soar above the level plains of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings. It is a sad spectacle to see the weaklings bruised, exhausted, fluttering back to earth."[/I] [I]Kate Chopin The Awakening[/I] [/QUOTE]
