Hehe, just remember, you asked for it! Brought the four of you into a contemplation and had some visions.

Inky – you appear before me as an amazon warrior princess. Full of magma, intense love, intense passion, the mother of volcanoes. Well honed, spear held confidently in hand. Fighting for space you already have, sometimes so caught up in the hunt that you forget the forest is alive, part of you. Friends with birds, rodents, but still jumping, turning icy, when roared at. Lions roar, birds chirp, rodents squeek, and there is the queen, poised, ready.

Jasmine – you appear before me as Glinda, the good witch from Oz. Bright, vibrant wings, an aura of white. Never really getting too involved with the lives of munchkins, but laying a spell here and there as needed. Sometimes forgetting how arduous walking can be, “why, just float toward the sun, silly ones.” But always there when needed, tireless in your loving, a force of nature.

The Ruminant – you appear before me as Hermione, from the Harry Potter stories. A wand that never seems to miss, strong through many years of attentive practice. Shy in matters of romance, uncertain that a mind as keen, a witch as skillful deserves or could be loved by another. Used to feeling alone, the boys busy being jealous that someone so beautiful, talented, could also have more courage than they.

Big Blue – you appear before me as Lancelot, from the Arthur legend. Gallant, romantic, bowing your head before the goddess in reverence, honor. Sometimes pulling out your sword when unneeded, sometimes loving a woman too much, but when you’re at someone’s back, they needn’t worry, you’ve got it.

As far as me, I’m a contradiction, wrapped in an enigma, stuffed in a paradox. Haha, all garbage, boring, false. The hero I look up to, try to be like, relate to, is Kermit. Raised in a swamp, dreaming of friends loving one another well, putting on a good show. My circle of friends is just 7billion people wide. 🙂 (one, I lose!). As I dance through space and time, I just try to make space sit in our sandbox. What’s here? What do we wish to build? What visions spring to heart? I try to help any of us find our map, pack a bag lunch for the road, and trust that our little ripples of light knit together into a better world for us all. Then do some dishes, play some minecraft with my kids, kiss my wife, go to work. I’m not very remarkable, just making some space to look for answers, happiness, like the rest of us. Sing a song of hope, I say, you never know, but always feel!
