                       The following is a description of a journey by Patricia
                           in one of the Thursday night journeying circles.

The Journey.
“There was no prelude. I was instantly in the middle of a fire.. I WAS the fire.
It was as if I was transformed into my elemental nature.
I was a beacon fire on a small island in the middle of a huge lake, surrounded by a lush forest. A fire spirit who loves water... Go figure.
As I danced, like fire does, a voice was talking to me about who and what I am.
People have been trying to contain me or put me out all my life. I've always been interested in unusual things and love to explore, in body, mind and spirit.
I was told that this threatens a lot of people. It challenges the status quo and shines light on things that some want kept in the dark. This is considered dangerous by more people than we'd like to think.
This was a revelation. All the name calling, dirty looks and outright abuse I took and still put up with today makes sense... sort of.
Why do people fear change? Change is good and necessary for growth.
The water in the lake began to slowly swirl around my island.
The voice told me that for all the people I repulsed and frightened, there were some that saw the beacon fire. Some, who were already tending their own fires, acknowledged it and exchanged spiritual fuel. Some took sparks and made their own.
As this was being said, small lights were coming from the forest to the water's edge. It was like a swarm of fireflies. They went into the water and started swirling toward my island. As they came to shore, the small fires merged into me and we became a massive need fire. It was as if we were calling to the stars themselves for help. Why have the humans abandoned their intuition, their inner wisdom? The spirits are calling to whoever will listen and asking for spiritual warriors to battle the madness.
Keep the beacon fires burning! Be true to your nature and your inner joy/wisdom will attract others. Too many people are lost within their own skin and the latest "happy" pill won't help.
I am what I am and it's a good thing.
I was told this a long time ago and I forgot.. I think I'll remember this time.”
