ashtoreth: (sekhmet)
Today is the two week commemoration of the Sun going nova in my world.

I am, now, at peace with this and am curious to see what is going to come in the aftermath of that catalyzing event. The past two weeks, I have been laboring to heed the messages my anger was screaming to me.
Sekhmet of the seven arrow, fearsome and furious, you who arose from Hathor's rage, O bright and blessed one.
And, I have been working on reaffirming to myself that anger is indeed a valid emotion in the face of betrayal, and that it can catalyze change when one is stuck. I feel no shame in feeling angry, even still, though it is cooler now and needs to be tended lest it turn to bitterness. A task easier said than done. I've been doing the work each day. It is easier some days than others, and that, too, is part of the process. Thankfully, there is an endless supply of pomegranate seeds to spit on the ground.
O gracious one averter of plagues, healer of ills, mender of wounds, who hears the prayers of the ailing and the injured...I thank you for your blessings.
A revelation of this whole affair, is that while I have been doing some inner work, it was triage work. It was Band-Aids on Band-Aids to keep my soul from hemorrhaging out of me.

Frozen flight.

No longer. The sun exploded and everything thawed under an incandescent white-hot sky.

I've got work to do, and reason to do it.

P.S. Mid-to-terminal February was beastly. This is the offspring called March~
Chimera (n.) chi·me·ra /kīˈmirə,kəˈmirə/ (in Greek mythology) a fire-breathing female monster with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail. (in my life) the month of march. C
