i thought i might share how i came across this poem. I say poem but of course its more than that :) I'm sharing to help me to remember the magic before my brain overrides it and doubt sets in .. it might be nice for others to read too :)

when i was 7 or 8 my mothers friend gave me a painting she had done for me. I thought it was of my "angelic self". Its an angelic looking woman with long blonde hair, flying up towards a star mandala. She has what looks like large translucent grey wings. The painting has been in my room most of my life except for a 7 year period when i lost touch with my mother who had it.

I got back in touch with mum last year and she gave me a box of my things which included this picture. I was chatting to her about it and it turned out the artist had told my mother that the wings from the picture are actually not wings but entities, i said in that case they looked a bit dark and ominous. My mum said she had said the same thing to the artist and the artist told her not to worry because they were helping me.

a few months back, for some reason i decided to read the inscription on the painting for the first time ever, it said "a copy of painting by mary st marie from the star-borne by solace"

so I looked up these mysterious terms and found this poem which is an excerpt from solaces book called "The Star-Borne: A Remembrance for the Awakened Ones"

upon finally reading the excerpt today, i felt much remembrance, like ecstasy. The line "melding the polarities back into one" stood out for me.

i will get that book i think :)
