Butterfly Metamorph

What does a butterfly say when it hears the call of the cacoon?

I crawled for so long
feeling earth and bark beneath
my body
Gravity kept me slow
then one day I heard your call
stepped through your door
and died..
Ecstatic darkness
points of light
and then a new awakening
Emerged, I could fly
and such beauty have I
the wind against my wings
bringing me closer to the light
Today I heard your call again
and I prepare to enter
What will become of me now?

Quote of the Day – January 5 2010

“It should be evident that Nuit obtains the satisfaction of Her Nature when the parts of Her Body fulfill their own Nature. The sacrament of life is not only so from the point of view of the celebrants, but from that of the divinity invoked.”

–Aleister Crowley “Book of the Law”

Spiralling Out

How can I embrace change like this
when I love who I am
and who I’ve been?
Yet haven’t I been
one who becomes
who’s existence resides
in its transition to something new
Change comes easy
when one resists one’s identity
“Anything is better than this I used to say
Then contentment comes
“OK the bus rides over
and here I shall be”
Now I hear the siren call
and rabbit holes cover my walkway
Shall I leap with abandon?
Can I have what I have
and carry it with me?
The answer is “Yes, somehow”
The universe tells me in joy
Cake was made to be eaten after all
and roads exist to be walked…
Godhead help me to become
the person I’ve always been..

Quote of the Day- January 2 2010

The hour when you say, ‘What matters my reason? Does it crave knowledge as the lion his food? It is poverty and filth and wretched contentment.’

The hour when you say, ‘What matters my virtue? As yet it has not made me rage. How weary I am of my good and my evil! All that is poverty and filth and wretched contentment.’

“Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman–a rope over an abyss…

What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end: what can be loved in man is that he is anoverture and a going under…

–Fredrich Nietzsche
