Unity In the Void

Separately, I have walked Through the darkest night Moving methodically With my inner light As fear and terror arose In the midst of surprise Meaning surrendered To TRUTH revealed in accepted lies The need to know ahead The past left far behind What is, existing in silence And I, am now, willingly blind ....I stand No more rhythm or sound No drum beat to gather round No purpose to be fulfilled No more TRUTH to be revealed ...in the know Written by Trudy Schrader on 10-19-2022

To me it is what the caterpillar goes through in the cocoon... is completely dissolved before resurrecting anew. I'm envious of those that have an overnight "awakening". That has not been my experience. It has rather been excruciating at times. But then I realized that is only so by my own making :-)

This was so hard to process, because, honestly, humanity is NOT ok in the UNknown. It's one thing to say you are ok in not knowing, but totally different to just sit in it with no need for meaning or movement, just being. Ugh!
