Hello Brave Souls!
In the heart of Portugal, where childhood memories wove themselves into the fabric of my soul, a profound transformation awaited me. Returning after 54 years in the US, I found the familiar landscapes changed—engulfed by fierce fires and enshrouded in darkness. The once vibrant trees and forests that sang stories of my youth were now silent, consumed by flames. As surreal as it seemed, I was determined not to let fear paralyze me. This journey would become a testament to resilience, and it was here that I discovered an unexpected ally—the Morrigan, who fearlessly guided me through the darkest corners of my mind.
Standing amidst the smoldering remnants of the woods, a mix of fear and determination welled up within me. My beloved spaces were slipping away, just as quickly as I had rediscovered them. And yet, I couldn't let the fear win. Embracing the darkness, I imagined the Morrigan, the ancient Celtic goddess, taking my hand. She didn't lead me to safety, but through the fear itself, teaching me to see beyond the shadows. It was a poignant reminder that sometimes our greatest battles are fought within, and embracing our fears can illuminate the path to personal power.
Through this experience, I began to see darkness differently—not as something to be feared, but as a source of strength. The infernos that razed the land mirrored the internal transformations I was undergoing. Like the mythical pearl formed within an oyster amidst discomfort, I too sought the pearl and the power within myself. Each charred tree became a beacon of resilience, each darkened corner a challenge to overcome. These were no longer obstacles but stepping stones on a transformative journey that transcended the physical and touched the very core of my being.
