The Art of Enchantment. Dr Sharon Blackie: writer, psychologist, mythologist. On darkness, and the Cave of Cats. Quiet friend who has come so far,. Feel how your breathing makes more space around you. Let this darkness be a bell tower. And you the bell. As you ring,. What batters you becomes your strength. Move back and forth into the change. What is it like, such intensity of pain? If the drink is bitter, turn yourself to wine. In this uncontainable night,. The meaning discovered there. The Cave of Cats.

Transformation for Change Makers. Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous. How grass can be nourishing in the. Mouths of the lambs. How rivers and stones are forever. In allegiance with gravity,.
