Letter 7B
Isa Rising

The habit, at one time, encouraged for survival in
winter as a source
of warmth, but now
the extension of this less than
spiritual behavior is a
life what has outlived usefulness
is habit's claws clenched
upon your skin binding
you.

Trying times w/ this dying habit
to loosen its
hold is at once freedom & murder
on the green lawn
can paralyze one, or
result in strange behavior what mires one
in an emptiness, a
shallowness of experience. A life
of missing a certain
feeling of vitality which only liberation brings.

Cleanse the area w/ sage. Wash
away the perturbations
the cathexis, the
old energy, what seeks
to naturally bolt &
bring on the tears, bring
on surrender to initiate
the sacrifice of the personal & the one sacred
thaw.
