***
I walk in a park as the season changes. The days are growing shorter, the nights deep and cold.
Looking at bare tree branches I am stuck by the realization that I hear music as the wind blows through the branches.
Indeed, there is a song blowing through the sky and into my heart-mind.
I begin to sing it right then and there, and continue to run it through my voice all the way home.
Once there, I turn off all the lights and give in to the feeling of the music.
Dancing in absolute darkness a song is born.
I realize that childhood terrors of ‘not being able to see’ have left me, and I feel a rush of power through my limbs.
This is not the darkness of evil or hungry ghosts.
This is the darkness of a sacred feeling of The Unseen, and I am one with it–liberated from fear.
