herenow

just playing with words and sense of place...inspired in part by another quote from James Hillman, which appeared under the heading "The Guiding Anima":

"This is a one-way trip, and there is another direction to her movement...across her bridge roll fantasies, projections, emotions that make a person's consciousness unconscious and collective...making the known ever more unknown. She mystifies, produces sphinxlike riddles, prefers the cryptic and occult where she can remain hidden: she insists upon uncertainty. By leading whatever is known from off its solid footing, she carries every question into deeper waters, which is also a way of soul-making..."

you have come around again

hesitate here in the meantime's momentary kindness

landed for now from motion's trusted current

look long at all these roads

not yet not taken

inspire the air of other journeys

then release it, flowing outward

you will engage

and in it you'll re-member

let the blur of separation and would-be transcendence

slow into the clarity of specificity

solitude to solidarity

everywhere to everyday

you may stay

inhabit homesteads never yours

on shores of deeper waters

still reservoirs of every possibility

you will found what peace and place you can

(you hold your ground like many hold their liquor

intoxicated by a moment's presence,

heady but unsteady on your feet)

you must release

this is the only moment

for the time, being

not next stop but next move

be still in motion

be (still) here
