Howling Wolf and Quiet Lamb

Through paralyzing sadness flows the quiet melancholy ribbons

that seem to soothe every cell of my being with a cloak of gentle sorrow.

How is it possible that my actions and even my inactions have produced such a moment as this. 

How do I change it, how do I heal and let it go?

I don’t let it go; rather, I choose to stand alone in the mist of unknowing and

pull my cloak closer as the chill of aloneness falls over my head and gently, but painfully,

 flows down my body, filling the room around me with a heaviness like thick syrup.   

Moving is difficult and desiring to move is just as difficult. 

Prayer and supplication is first on my tongue and seeking solace in

the unseen but ever present Christ and the angels in whom I have come

to trust over the decades of traveling the roads of a seeker. 

Soon the heaviness will subside and let me be released into the Joy of being. 

The answer is not always obvious or clear, but the knowing is ever nudging at my inner self;

I am learning more and more and being refined more and more to follow

and hear and to know only that quiet inner voice as the heaviness dissolves itself into

the Heart of Love in which I live and move and have my Being.

Quietness again births the Peace of my Soul.
