I moved to Salt Lake City exactly two-years ago. I moved here to die. I succeeded--twice. Each death was starkly different from the other and each return was drastically different. The journey back to life was long and the path was covered in the Shadows that carried me Al Sole as their covering kept my open wounds safe from the blistering heat of the fires around me. However, their Veil around me grew into a suffocating isolation. In my second death on May 24, 2016; I stood at the mouth of a Well that held the Void Within it. I asked, how to navigate through the shrapnel of my mind and find my Heart again in life. I heard my daughter's voice laugh at me and say, "I don't know." And in a cheeky tone, she added, "just follow the bird feathers". I did just that. I have traveled deep within my past, my Truth, my Love, my Desire, and I learned to always breathe. I learned to look beyond the Veil and praise the pain-- the depth of the pain was in direct correlation with the depth of joy and love that I have within me and I began to see the line between them dissolve into memory. The journey is not compete. The destination remains unknown. But the hunger for discovery has replaced the nightmare and the feathers have led me to the rediscovery of my Compass. And the Shadow sings out to the Moon, "Al Sole!" (To the Sun!) #alsole #apokatastasis #pancaul #deep6 #grateful (at Salt Lake City, Utah)
