Searching For Truth and the Goddess
Mother, Goddess, show me the secrets of my heart.
Show me where I have wandered off my path.
Show me how to find my path again.
Fly before me, illuminating my path.
Fly before me, showing me the broad road
into my best future. Show me the way!
Prepare the way for my searching feet!
O mother of light, you who dwell in the south
on nine wooded hills, O show me the way!
~ Siberian Shaman Prayer
Life is an endless search for truth. Even those who have known the
holiest mysteries spend most days wandering, trying to find the way
back to the truths that, in moments of illumination, seemed so
perfect, so indisputable.
Our lives are lived in the dull space between bright flashes of
knowledge. And the truth of our lives rests there: in how we
continue, day after day, to follow the path the Goddess has set out
for us.
For each of us, our path will be a new one, one never trodden by
another before us. Each of us an explorer, finding a new way to truth
and beauty. On those days when we doubt ourselves (and there will be
many), we must put our trust in the Goddess to illuminate the way
before us. The same inner knowledge that once brought us to her
presence will light our path on the dim days when cares and tasks
seem to block the way to her.
