Light Emerging: An Alchemical Aspiration
This is a short prayer that was inspired by the paintings of Remedios Varo, a fascinating and visionary woman. The hyperlinks on the stanzas lead to the corresponding paintings.
May the five radiances shine
through every image seen;
in gratitude, delight
may we find flowers amid the green
Heart's woven threads
stitched into the unknown
may our days and nights together
find us through our time alone.
Thoughts travel,
perilous passage,
precious cargo of ideas said;
may we sail to the iland of jewels
where conflicting views are wed.
All these supreme intentions
in awakeness, brilliant, bright;
each wish fulfilled,
we find our way
along horizon of twilight.
