Garden of Light III: Emergence
A Goddess emerges from the Garden of Light. She is you, realized, mirror of the greenest secret played out by the elements -- the sun and full grass moon making love above Mother Earth.

You began as seed. Then your roots formed, anchored in the green heart of Mother, soul-in-womb, open to light. When you broke ground, you climbed the stairway to the sun. The moon lifted you upward on its shimmering silver waves; angels and garden dwellers rejoiced in a silent symphony that glistened your eyes whenever you touched, whenever you felt. You became sensitive as a baby leaf in a dawn breeze, pregnant with both dream and day. When you touched a plant, a blossom smiled back. The earth's most sacred alchemy was restored for you.

You have climbed beyond the highest trellis, to where sun and moon and Milky Way merge: The Vortex of the Eagle. TheEarth has nurtured you; your buds and blossoms have opened to the ethers. You've joined the life-source of all gardens in all lands, in all souls.

Now, dressed in the satin starlight and wearing a headband of your greatest dreams, you shine forth in the hearts of all you greet.

You are a Goddess, Maiden of the North, the Cradler of Souls, the inner sanctum of the Garden of Light.
