Underground Stream Carries Away Sadness
I wanted to write about the monster that I met on my journey shortly after the death of Walter Kitty. Walter hangs out with me know in my sanctuary before I travel to the Lower World. In this late summer journey, he was my guide.
So, once I tranced out in Antonio’s basement room and my spirit traveled to the lower world, I met this monster. I knew it was a manifestation of a deep grief. The monster was chocolate brown and furry. I began to shave it, and I tied a ribbon in his hair. This monster needed to be buried, so that is what I did. This did not seem to be enough to dispel the energy, so I saw it draw into an underground stream, which carried it away, away, away.
This has been extraordinarily valuable in my waking life. When I have felt grief (especially about Walter Kitty, I have given to my tears freely, and I breathe them along instead of packing them in. I get a sense of that underground stream, and it washes the pain away, away, away.
