Wholeness, alchemy, integration of the shadow, and fine art nude photography

excerpted from HER: the sacred naked mother earth, and the divine feminine soul, by Jack Haas

Rose breaking through a brick wall.

I will dance and be and tell the story of thorns where the existence of love burns us all to the ground and builds us out of the ashes to fly as the phoenix.

Just dance and sing and see where the earth leads through the spirit.

Take in the sunlight through the skin and deeply inhale the darkness of the night –

moon child that I am.

Charm yourself and become the dark you hide from – only then will the light be allowed to set you free in the air again. Without our shadow we are lost; we have lost the exit.  The only way out is through a place of no return. A place where we must face our “selves”; our full “selves” – the shadow.  Without this face we cannot play in the game, we cannot be. Being is the knowledge of all of who we are.  Good, Bad, and Ugly – when we taste this part of being, we taste the earth, we taste the salt of our own blood which is that of the earth.

Carry me away on the breath of a thing of substance.

Sweet, sweet substance.
