The Goddess Is Kundalini, Kundalini Is the Goddess
Dear Friends,
I am going to be out of town for a few days, and will not be posting to this blog site. I'll start posting again about April 5. Enjoy!

Preparing to Greet the Goddess
Do not think of her
unless you are prepared
to be driven to your limits,
to rush forth from yourself
like a ritual bowl overflowing
with consecrated wine.
Do not summon her image
unless you are ready to be blinded,
to stand in the flash
of a center exploding,
yourself shattering into the landscape,
wavering bits of bark and water.
Do not speak her name
until you have said goodbye
to all your familiar trinkets--
your mirrors, your bracelets,
your childhood adorations--
From now on you are nothing,
a ghost hovering at the window,
a voice singing under water.
