I notice that when healthy Black Gold energy is not present in a "sacred space" setting... whether it be church or a prayer group, I do not feel comfortable or glad to be there, I always feel the greif of missing black-gold.
Our shadows follow us everywhere, and when those shadows have no way of being kindly acknowledged, worked with, maybe even mid-wived from shadow to the wisdom waiting to peek through the struggles of the dark soils it has long waited to sprout from and show its inherent shape and potential... to allow the accorn of pain and shadow to burst out and become the tree, to transform the frustration, misunderstanding, judgements, unconcious behaviors, headiness, overintellectualism, pride, arrogance, jealousy, rage, whatever... to come and be acknowledged, even welcomed to turn over... to die or be born to the wisdom dying to be found and manifested.
I so appreciate Black Gold energy. My life has been so enriched by it, and though it is not in my inner 14, Oh, how much I appreciate it and hope to learn from it even more, daily I notice grand opportunities... because even though I have worked much shadow to its other side of the coin... to its wisdom... I am still followed by a shadow,... the sun does shine, and I never never go without shadow each day.
Like Peter Pan... If I lose my shadow... I will go and look for it.
This wisdom is so beautiful, makes poetry possible.
My love to Black Gold,
Emese
