Exploring our inner landscapes,
especially the darkened places
where the candle has been seemingly snuffed out.
It often takes multiple visits
to relight the candle that seems to have blown out.
And, even then, those mind-made miseries
may take a while to relax and dissolve.
Sometimes it requires a courage to eat the demon.
Sometimes it is manifesting the patience to fully digest
and integrate what we've swallowed.
