{a note from the edge}
I find that the edge is so rarely a space I can simply step off of.
A ledge from which I can fall.
Or fly.
And see.
I find.
That the edge is where I am held so tightly.
Too tightly.
That my breath aches to be birthed into something more.
The edge.
My edge.
Is under.
Below.
Beneath.
Above where it all began.
But just before the threshold of where it all could be.
The edge is enrobed in deep, dark velvet.
It cradles me.
Binds me.
Offers comfort but rarely delivers.
At the edge I am asked to tear it all to shreds.
To shatter the mirrors that only show what was.
And use the shards to cut my way through.
To what I cannot yet see.
The edge asks everything of me.
And I must give it.
I must unravel the shrouds that found their way to my flesh.
I must burn the maps to treasures not of my choosing.
I must sing with such abandon that I become the siren who pulls my being beyond the safety of my ship and into the great, grand wild that awaits.
****
I have sat at edges.
I sit at one now.
It is the work of a lifetime to breakthrough.
And yet, it is work we will do over and over again.
The Unnamed Quest was born of the edge.
Born of a desire to take the dreams that felt light.
Airy.
And dare to claim them.
To name them.
To give them form.
Density.
Because it is the desire to actually have what we want.
That can crack everything open.
And usher us into that great, grand wild that awaits.
The Unnamed Quest is a journey through a mythical bookstore.
It is told through letters you receive in the mail.
It is so much more than your usual class or workshop.
This is a story you can inhabit.
An experience you can immerse yourself in.
All the while, giving shape to that which you are.
That which you want.
All the while, guiding you to become the magic you know that you are.
The Unnamed Quest begins on Friday, 2/10.
The last chance to sign up will be Friday at 10 am Eastern.
There is a sliding scale from $30 to $65.
You can get all the info and sign up here:

I hope you will join us on this magnificent adventure.
In darkness and density…
With love and fire~
