it is a joyous occasion to want to be delivered from the pain and into the beautiful realms, which are shared like golden berries that tinkle on a marble floor, like some past moment forgotten until now. this is your fortune, this strange song. reality is malleable. this is your love.

The times ache almost fleshily. Everything is lashed and wounded. Balms and consolations are scarce. The question posed by many generations - When? - falls on ourselves rather than at the door of some longed-for liberation, as we feel at once impotent and culpable.

February 14th - A Journey with Goddess.
It is Valentine's Day, and who else should we celebrate but Aphrodite.
I took this photograph at her temple site in Cyprus; I visit this sacred island of her birth every year to renew my relationship with the Goddess who reminds me to love myself.
