Deep Sky








My real name is Joy Seeker
(watch out for the joy snatchers)

Yesterday my name was Rock the Boat

Today my name is Breathes-with-Steady-Heart

Tomorrow my name will be Flying Yellow
(with grass between her toes)

Secretly I know my name is Radiant-light-high-on-a-hill-deep-in-a-cave

                                                          My name was once Deep Sadness

                                                          In my dream my name was Cheetah-many-spots
                                                           (about to leap!)

The moments where you are called out. The dark parts of yourself that you encounter, and choose to integrate. The times you see someone doing something you wish you were doing and feel jealous. Life is not a tea party that we dress up f...
