So much of what you write amazes me, because there are so many similarities. It is almost like you are writing about me instead of yourself. It is astonishing.
And this thing you said is particularly beautiful:
Tantra says the Goddess, Shakti, breathes herself into you when you take your first breath, and breathes you back into herself when it is time to return this body to the earth.
It is timely that you mention Shakti in your post, because I have been readying a post of an artwork that I did to honor Shakti. So, the timing of all this is quite curious!
Also, I am amazed at the photographs you include in your posts. They are so lovely, and yet sometimes they defy explanation — like the shot of you sitting in that tree and playing your guitar; I don't know how you managed that one, but kudos! It is a truly lovely shot! 💖
