Hidden nooks and secret passagesways

magical moths and full moon clearings

I.

Once upon a time.
Not all that long ago.
I sent out communiques that were born from a vision of wanting to exlore hidden nooks and secret passages.
I imagined crafting myths that might just carry us into the newest newness and ground us in the forever evers.
I dreamt of stories and snippets to share.
Conjured by me.
For you.
For us.
I loved writing those…until I didn’t and the form changed to suit my becoming.

This past week, I stumbled across one of those old communiques.
I once again fell in love.
And knew that I needed to create that form to suit my present tense.
I knew that I needed to invite you into these magical lairs so that we can explore, together, the treasures that they hold.

II.

Heat haze is what occurs when cooler air above a hot surface makes the world appear to wave and warp.
That is what the full moon clearing felt like.
Heat haze.

The work was fiery and light.
Full of movement that I could not contain.
Could not control¹.
That which was no longer yours to carry spilled out before me.
Leaving space for universes to form anew.
I loved every second of it.

It is always a pleasure for me to hold these experiences.
Thank you for joining me.

III.

Within the apothecary² you will find the wing of the Incendiary Moth³.
A creature made of the flame.
So drawn to itself that it rests in stillness.
Unconsumed by its nature.
Alive in its own presence.

When the words of enchantment are spoken.
The wing brings you to a state of potent stillness.
So that you may discover the meeting place of desire and satisfaction.
This is of great benefit to those who seek to discover a path that will ignite the flame within their own being.

Soon enough, the Apothecary will be open for all.

IV.

I find myself in a place both familiar and foreign.
As I have been here before.
And yet.
It is, by its nature, new every time.

It is where one path ends.
And a new one waits just beyond the tree line.
There I stand.
In the middle of the expanse.
Knowing that each step forms what will be.
And still feeling into what is possible for me in the wild creative adventure of it All.

If you should ever find yourself as I have…as I do.
Know this: there is no escaping the moment.
No running from the discovery.
Nor the uncertainty.
There is only the choice to let yourself be thrilled by the ride.
And find your way beyond.

1. It is not that I try to control much in other clearings but I do guide/shape the process. This experience had a flow of its own, with and without me.

3. Do not despair, the wing was ethically harvested.
