Now Orion fades from the Michaelmas sky. A red glow shines over the sea. Dawn is breaking, and the black of the starry night turns into dark violet, deep blue, a breath of green, a dull yellow-orange. And yesterday, before night fell, the sky on the other horizon also showed its edge in every colour\u2014from red into the dark dress of the stars.

The heavenly beings accompany their children. They listen, they sense, they give wings to those who are waking up and to those who are coming to rest, to write their coming destinies like poems. Will You lend me a feather to write my life? No one knows better than You how I suffer, stumble, and do not understand. May I know You in my encounters with others, in my thoughts? Of course I want to decide for myself and allow no one above me. But here, at the edge of my awareness, is my will different from Yours? How quiet dare I grow to experience You without forgetting myself? The one You want to bring forth?<\/p>\n\n\n

I do not know myself yet. So I may kneel before myself and call You by name, my great sisters within me: Beginnings, Powers, Spirits of Love. What do You hope for when You hear my many voices? What in me can You begin with? How do I wish to grow, to breathe freely under Your gaze?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
