Isis A.

I am a mystic dreamer... In a dream long ago I was told that I am a mystic dreamer in a coat of many colors and that this is to be my path through the world in this life...living in many worlds at once is my reality. Diversity my background. A shamanic approach to reality has proven the most useful for I have found that nothing dies and in the modern world we no longer know how to deal with that truth or cope with its reality. So with the ancient Jackal and the Opener of the Ways I walk in life and in dreams. The old religion of Egypt, of Isis and Osiris, and the way of the native americans speak to me most profoundly...but all true paths lead to the Source and to that place of the first time...

Iram indeed is gone with all its Rose,
And Jamshyd's sev'n-ring'd cup where no one knows;
But still the Vine her ancient Ruby yields,
and still a Garden by the water blows.

-From the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

"He who knows does not speak.
He who speaks does not know.
Close the mouth.
Shut the door of desire.
Blunt the sharpness.
Untie the tangles.
Soften the light.
Become one with the dusty world."
( Lao Tzu, in the sixth century B.C.

"Now there are some things we all know, but we don't take'm out and look at'm very often. We all know that something is eternal. And it ain't houses and it ain't names, and it ain't earth, and it ain't even the stars .... everybody knows in their bones that something is eternal, and that something has to do with human beings. All the greatest people ever lived have been telling us that for 5000 years and yet you'd be surprised how people are always losing hold of it. There's something way down deep that's eternal about every human being.-
From "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder
