The Path of Descent: A Meditation on Soren Kierkegaard, By Heather Thompson

Just as fall descends
Into the tranquil
Depths of winter,
And spring emerges…
…gently…
From frost covered buds,
So are we cyclically
Bursting forth
From the hibernating darkness.

Awakening holy green fire!
Unfolding.
Unfurling.
Becoming.

Exploding in fractal moments,
Blooming.
Thriving.
Expanding.

Contracting in colorful glory.
Transforming.
Falling.
Letting go.

Creative reflections
Of the Creator
Unseen, yet imminently known.

The vision of the Creator
Manifests
Within the bounds of a vast womb,
Beyond which lies the dark crucible
Burning beyond comprehension.

The subject of all seeking,
Yearning.
Hoping.
Remembering.

Yet only existing
Through human thought
In the present moment.

Because the ideas conceived
Are still within the realm of creation
Only a reflection of the Mystery
To be revealed
When we return to darkness
And it is made known…
…Just as we knew all along
