“In the time when the heart beat slows” 

In the time when 
the heart beat slows
I close my eyes 
and meet you there
that place of aether
the either or,
the conversation 
takes a turn,
all the trees holding
creatures in my forest
seem to think it’s not
private

all can see 
my heartbeat 
communicating with you
in this place of peace

I’m still alive in the 
dead zone, feeling 
my way in the Orphic myst
in the unclear clearing
there appears no road sign,
di via crucis, a tryst -
you move in closer,
speaking without speaking, 
what’s inside behind the eyes, 
shares the temporal 
in this backwoods home, 
this silent pocket 
of sacred celestial,

you say, 

“foxglove belladonna,
strange creature 
you come and go
with such indecision,
seeking what’s inside
the centre of it all, 
you already know, 
the answer turning
deep channels
walking the waves 
through walls in 
cool transmission, 
you know - still, 
you change your mind
over and over
walking back in,
walking back out,
like the moon calls 
in the tides;

Morpheus transports
you here, temporarily,
the spell ends with 
that late to the party
Orpheus, upon 
being light kissed,
there you are retrieved 
from that other world -
you will see,
have faith in the music
and the poetry, 
bestowed as solid gift, 
the motto in the heraldry; 
when you awake
you’ll understand, 
the coil in the questions
of an endless See, 
between sun and moon 
eclipse, to fully gather
once and for all,
into arms of agape gist,
this most pressing quest;
the veil removed, 
'tis never easy,

your real name is
Eurydice”

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)







“The day of the absolute is over,
and we’re in for the strange gods once more”


“Tragedy is like strong acid - 
it dissolves away all but 
the very gold of truth.”


“It is a fine thing to establish 
one’s own religion in one’s heart,
not to be dependent on tradition
and second-hand ideals. 
Life will seem to you, later,
not a lesser, but a greater thing.”


“One must learn to love,
and go through a good deal 
of suffering to get to it…
and the journey is always 
towards the other soul.”


“The human being 
is a most curious creature.
He thinks he has got one soul, 
and he has got dozens.”


“The soul is a very perfect judge
of her own emotions, if your mind
doesn’t dictate to her.”


“Reason is a supple nymph,
and slippery as a fish by nature. 
She had as leave give her kiss
to an absurdity any day, 
as to syllogistic truth. 
The absurdity may turn out truer.”


“This is what I believe: That I am I. 
That my soul is a dark forest. 
That my known self will never be more 
than a little clearing in the forest. 
That gods, strange gods, 
come forth from the forest 
into the clearing of my known self, 
and then go back. 
That I must have the courage 
to let them come and go. 
That I will never let mankind 
put anything over me, 
but that I will try always 
to recognize and submit 
to the gods in me 
and the gods 
in other men and women. 
There is my creed.” 

All quotes above/D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930)




All quotes below/Anais Nin (1903-1977)

“Life is a process of becoming, 
a combination of states we have to go through. 
Where people fail, is that they wish to elect a state 
and remain in it. This is a kind of death.” 


“There are many ways to be free. 
One of them is to transcend reality
by imagination, as I try to do.”


“We travel, some of us forever,
to seek other states, other lives,
other souls.”


“The possession of knowledge 
does not kill the sense of wonder 
and mystery. There is always 
more mystery.”
