Why do you seek the Mandorla,
where choice must be made
and accepted?
It is the vulva of the universe,
pre-dating,
but coopted,
by Christianity and Buddhism,
the symbolized source of understanding,
the Yoni;
the vision of Valentine,
it defines the doorway
to an aware existence;
it is the non-place
where worlds overlap
and transitions are possible,
where choice must be made
and accepted.

Can you understand?
You seek
the almond gilded shape of exalted existence,
where converging awareness
defines the closed helix,
the origins and limitations
of life,
the paradox of the wall,
the constant line that does not exist
as it flows unending
between reality and unreality,
the overlapping circles
that form the portal of transition.

It is the harmonic space,
stretched taut
by the tension of being torn
between worlds,
the contradiction and conflict
of opposites,
the necessary tension
of standing between
that which is real
and that which is too real to exist.

There,
you will find the unity you seek,
of being suspended
in stasis between opposing forces,
the blinding truth
of existence
and the fulfillment
of non-existence.

There,
at the fluid point of choice
wherein the walls of reality
become as smoke through which may pass
the willing
into the higher realms of awareness,
is waiting
the awareness of non-existence.

There,
you will behold the Nibmus,
the legend,
the blinding aura,
the band of energy
surrounding those who have chosen
the obligations of life,
the halo
of the transitory
wistful awareness,
imagined and made real,
the willingness
to be aware,
to make a choice
and feel the opportunity.

There,
is the portal,
the Mandorla,
the portal through which wanders the Infinite Soul
when the need comes ‘round,
as it must
from time to time,
to change us all a little bit,
again.

It didn't say any of that on the T-shirt......

....but yes...exactly this anyway.

This will probably fall because you've written "high"....but it shouldn't.

interesting from one as wise and knowledgable as you. there are somethings that man was not meant to know. we believe as we are taught, whether it is correct or not lies on the head of the teacher but as a believer in our creator we learn what is needed when needed for survival in ways one cant always explain. nor deny existance mistakes happen even for knowledge thought known.

You left the door open a crack and now a few thoughts have defrosted. Excellent

I really enjoyed the thoughts behind this, the considerations, the ideas - at least as they spoke to me - and they are so well worded -

needed rereading, and feeling

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

I just cleared a letter to you containing yet another question.

I'm beginning to think the cat should friggin' die.
