Balanced Connection

We are, each of us, angels with only one wing. And we can only fly embracing each other." — Luciano De Crescenzo



In dreams, it is said that wings represent a release of creative forces, that they give us the ability to understand and transcend the human condition. In religion, wings appear on angels, fairies, spirits and demons. In mythology, winged creatures are often messengers of the gods; they are a symbol of freedom and spirituality and a character having one wing is said to be lost in dreams.

Since the day I rested my eye's upon this art piece by James Christensen called Sleeper in Lost Dreams, I was instantly drawn into it's presence. I've added it many times in my personal journal here, specifically on days I was afloat, drifting within my own corridors seeking peace of mind.

Perhaps I am seeking connection to my dreams. Maybe it's possible I internally seek the comfort of Gods again. Or, I gaze upon this piece and see a bit of me, looking down, missing wing, amber colors, and peaceful yet, solitary quiet.

I don't fight my tears anymore, and I still believe in humanity beyond anything else. I understand my desire to connect with all the forces around me and I rest my mind on the soothing spirit of others.

During this season I wish for myself and those I am blessed to know
     
Comfort from within and others
       Less grief and more smiles
Greater sweet memories and

Love that brings you to your knees

       More serenity and the beauty of angels
Admiration of another
       Solitary moments of conviction and
Laughter filled rooms of life
       Hugs of a child and embrace of a lover
Family protection and friends for a lifetime

Balanced connection

But most of all, I wish that everyone has another, to complete the wings of your dreams 
   


~Peace be with you~
