I feel like the girl from "The Ring" is going to walk out that photo and devour my soul. I find it oppressive, unsettling, eerie, majestic and magical, kind of like listening to perturbing pipe organ music in a church. A lovely and wonderful combination of visuals and writing. Definitely unnerving, and takes me on a journey to a place that seems familiar to me. A place I've been to before, or similar in someway.
The line about being near the water reminds me of some of the writing of Teresa of Avila. The context was that of different types of prayer, however, I could be mistaken. For some reason it also brings to mind "We Have Not Long to Love" by Tennessee Williams. Also William Blake.
Thank you for sharing this part of yourself. Thank you for being vulnerable, I'm lookin forward to more of your writing, whatever it is you feel the need to express.
I can very much relate to this. Especially right now. I was so inspired and motivated not too long ago. Then a blockage formed in the main artery of my right leg just above the knee due to scar tissue from a procedure I had long ago. The physical pain and the fear of losing my foot consumed all my thoughts. I've been shut down and disenchanted for a while now. Like you, I pray for the light to return. Thank you for sharing this. I am always amazed by everything you do.
It reminds me of Frodo...still headed towards the mountain to complete his quest, with parched lips...and no hope. Those parts of life are strangely called "the hero's journey". Strange because who ever feels like a hero when life feels so tough? May the experience above once again be filled with light, cool water welcomed and remembered, and the vibration of despair...only a fading memory.
Thank you for your words, poems and thoughts for all of us.
Thank you for sharing your heart and soul.
