The Oracle started out giving me dark images, but reminded me that dark is always followed by light.
air lingers
waiting for breath
picture a dark sky
with no star voices
to be born
is a remembering
of foolish joy
the magic secret
of a vast awakening
heart

This is so beautiful, Kerfe.
I was getting lots of dark messages at first, too. I had to come back and start over today.

Reminds me of Wordsworth:
“Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting”
We forget all the childish wisdom as we grow.

The dark gives way to the light, the heart beats. And that’s all that matters. We had similar messages. Yours, so beautifully concise.

Wonderful and arcane… Such an interesting place to find Fool energy, but it’s there! I love the luminous edges in both works.

Thanks Sun. The Fool, like any Trickster, shows up anywhere it pleases.
