Last night, at the Fugard theatre, Miss Helen brought my clear, but yet unspoken, intention for this new journey into the Light, excavating it from where it lay brewing, underneath the surface of things:

This is my world and I have banished darkness from it

~Miss Helen, from The Road to Mecca by Athol Fugard

It now lives, inside me and in the world, in all definitions of the word.

So mote it be

“You must learn one thing: the world was made to be free in. Give up all the other worlds except the one to which you belong. Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you.” ~ David Whyte
