Embracing the night.

Waking for no reason, but the gentle tug on your awareness, you stretch slowly in the darkness, hovering between awake and sleep. you know the soft fuzzy inbetween lovely state. Slowly your mind focuses outward and sharpens, and you hear it, you know who called you.

The night it whispers promises to the soul of freedom and flight, of magick and mystery. Sitting up slowly, you stretch and linger for a moment, your awareness growing, the tactile sensations move in on your mind. The soft quiet sounds of a house at rest, the hum of the fridge, a low mumur from a forgotten t.v set, soft rustles and breathing of sleepers lost in dreams.

But you, your up , aware, and restless, you heard the night call to you, now you must answer and embrace the night.

Rising slowly with relaxed purpose and intend, you slip quietly from your room, passing down the hall and moving to the kitchen, Standing in the darkness, your eyes focus, watching the shadows lighten then darken as your perception shifts. your awareness is total, you are moving closer to the night, to the freedom , to the soft beat of the nights breath that few can hear. Silently standing, feelin the kitchen floor cool beneath your feet, feeling the air shifting around you and hearing the wind jangle softly a set of wind chimes, yo u know its time to move to the night.

With determined steps you open the door to the out side, feeling the shift begin as you shed the mundane and inhale the mystical, your mind and senses open and aware to the night and its feel , its soft soothing touch, a balm to the restrained soul. Here in the darkness, there is no stress, no worries, no boss no bills, no clutter, no tomorows, only now.

Slipping out into the darkness, we shed our mundane clothes , our disguises of habit and necessity, here we are free. , stepping free of our houses, we embrace the night and its temptations. We cast off inhibitions, stress, worries, our personal restraints we impose. Here,

Wrapped in darkness, we are open, free, alive. Feeling the night air caress our skin, feeling the night wrap around us, holding and soothing a tired mind and body. Here is an astral place, a peaceful buffer from out side influences, a step off the normal path to freedom. Inhaling deeply, feeling the cool night air move thru our bodies and along our nerve endings, We are envigorated, freshed, washed in a wave of primal energy.

Slowly, lifting our arms skyward, we twirl quietly, embracing the night 's freedom. Breathing in slowly, in thru the nose, out thru the mouth, feeling the cool , crisp night breath moving, growing. Silently, still twirling slowly in circles, we dance a slow ancient dance to an even older song.

Focused on the night sky, seeing the stars, twinkling brightly, watching passing wisps of clouds caress the moon, We know we are connected. We dance the Dragon Dance. Swaying gently in the embrace of the night. Wrapped in the night wings, caressed, at peace, feeling the multitude of pulses, the ancestoral beat of the universal song. With each beat, we are connected. With each rise and fall of the ancient music, we are tugged farther, the mundance slips away, we are all free to dance the ancient dance, embracing the night, feeling it cleanse the restless soul. Feeling it caress and soothe a weary mind. Phsyical sensations swell, The sights, the smells of dampness, the primal mustiness of the night. The night's soft kiss along exposed skin. Spinning faster now, you feel the lightness begin, the lifting, the freedom, the moment when you join the heavens, you spin upward, and float free from Earth and it's daily burden.

You embrace the night.

you become all pure thought, pure energy, pure emotion., blending, shifting, becoming one with the universal song.

Flying free now, soaring, dipping, seeking the errand winds. Riding the wild winds to other places, fast, hovering, dipping, ,listening to the nights song call you on. The wind caresses you, soft and warm, billowing along your clothes, a soft thapping sound blends with the Universal song your soul hears and responds to.

Your mind expands, releasing stress, releasing tension, you float free, weightless, bouyed by the wild winds. Your eased mind is filled with images, of night creatures who watch you pass, and ancient knowledge that we find in the night, our freedom, our abiility to shift, to change, to release and to move higher , shifting to the older self.

Pure emotion, you reach outward , and feel others flying free, bouyed by the wild winds, touching your thoughts with theirs. Held gently, floated upward on silken wings. Embraced by the night. Protected by The Oneness you feel with the Universe. You find comfort there, drifting, flying, soaring into the darkness of the night. You feel the connection of others, the connection to the night. The night is endless. The freedom complete. Spiralling outward, our minds become pure energy, focused, connected, pure, cleansed, complete. Buffered by the night, we fly onward, protected. Complete, focused. Connected.

Hearing the ancient night call, Dancing to the Universal song,. The song, the resonance of all those smaller pieces, all shifting, harmonizing, plinging off one and another, all reconnecting. All those glimmers of pure emotion, pure energy, pure thought. All those souls, all resonating with each other and with the One.

This universal song we carry home. As the sun slowly rises, we face home, flowing lower, moving slowly, toward home, but retaining the peaceful embrace of the night. to carry with us when the world pushes , invades and harasses, We can wrap our selves in it, and embrace the night.

Blessings of the One, may you dance the Dragon Dance, and feel the harmony of the Universal song.
