To be speaking about a piece of art that illustrates a transition from darkness to light… This was most ironic when I first began piecing together this entry, since it was the beginning of winter, the beginning of going deeper into darkness, instead of further into light, as we’re doing now with spring…
Yet I believe that whilst doing one thing, you’re almost always simultaneously doing its opposite. Like a see-saw, your present (“see”) is becoming the past (“saw”) with each changing moment. Change, or movement, is the constant. In order for you to be up, whatever is opposite to you must be down. You may have moved the see-saw upwards on your end, but you’ve simultaneously moved it downwards on the other. We may be moving from the dark into the light, but the light eventually and inevitably becomes darkness again as we continue to journey onwards… then, the light returns—waxing—and recedes back to “black”—as it wanes. The ebb and flow dance of life. Everything seems to spin on this divine axis of polarity. I’ve heard someone once call it something of “mutually arising opposites”.
The light that we’re about to venture into with this podcast entry is called the fields of heart space.
We’ll begin examining the elements of this project (which I consider to be side B of my first illustration of TAOT), starting with its first track, out of breath, but still breathing. exhilaration, for a watery Sol. O, i do honour ü so.
Throughout its multifaceted expression of coming to life from death, we uncover
the power of honest release and full presence
the mystery and wealth of Olókun
the becoming of self after loss
and then some.
Let’s chat about it.
