seekers, shamans and fierce warriors

"...She led me to a painting called Spell, 

an intricate hieroglyphic structure in shades of yellow. 

I felt called to read it–not to decipher it but to follow where it lead. 

What I read in it was a powerful wish for transformation. 

What I read was that art can be a means to enter the “Great Aloneness”

and know what is hidden to others. 

Such people and such works are clues to me

that we can be seekers

–and maybe even shamans and fierce warriors of awareness

–still."
