Like Honey in the Sun

("Rainbow Body" - detail, 2018, original encaustic) Like Honey in the Sun The other night I dreamt of a fork in my spiritual path. At a place where many gathered to engage in spiritual retreat, one group went off to sit with silent inward focus, while I joined another for a month in the playful practice of simply making music. And as we started in a loose kind of jam I noticed there in the space before me a stream of honeybees flying back and forth working an invisible line building something in midair, glowing transparent like honey in the sun… Showing me the essence Radiant with inner light An inhuman presence Softly warm and liquid bright (1/26/24)
