I count and keep track of who is where and doing what at all times. http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/00007khg.xml 31bcb55bd72c3d7e686628d74a69be66 image/png 360 576 346104 http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/00007khg DARK ROAD Dreamscape: We are driving down a dark country road without our headlights on. Shadow figures mill about at the edge of the forest. You do not listen to me but pull to the side to go out and explore. http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/00008dgt.xml c72730b7b93fdc360f0eddabb59de699 image/png 576 360 152878 http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/00008dgt MIRIA: I Am One Who reflects the beauty of the universe back to itself. I am the Beloved. I am the dark mirror. I am who comes to you in scrying and crying into the night; I wrap my arms around you in passion and comfort. I am the dark expanse of space. I call you to reach out to me, for in doing so, you touch your authentic self. Find me in the corner of your eye and hear my siren song calling your soul home. http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/00009ex3.xml 549c88ca3aa3ca36df147ea0f411b98b image/png 360 576 264902 http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/00009ex3 STAR GODDESS: I Am One Who dances the universe into creation. I am full of the energy of potential too large to be contained within a small hot core. I am the snake that squeezes the juice out of life. The energies of the stars, galaxies, course through me and swirl around me. I am the cosmos birthing, turning, burning, dying. I am the yearning of the heart when you look up at the night sky full of diamonds. http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/0000attp.xml d0b5fd1215714a374ec48fe8be0bbb1c image/png 360 576 420352 http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/0000attp THE STEWARD: I Am One Who watches over the land and the creatures of the earth. I take care of all who live in this realm. I provide for the tribe; you eat at my table. I know the backways through the wildwood. I feel the seeds growing the soil under my feet. I call you to nurture the present to feed your future. I call you to care for the brothers and sister with whom you share this earth. http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/0000b1q1.xml 643246408d2f8727e4d9efeaecb5f9ae image/png 360 576 321963 http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/0000b1q1 DESPAIRING: I Am One Who pulls you down into a whirlpool of despair and doubts. One little thought is all I need to spin around and around in your head until you cannot think of anything else but your pain. Shadowy hands grab at your heart and pull it apart. A fist grabs around your throat. You cannot speak. You cannot think. You can only cry out in pain, choking until your eyes burst from crying and your heart breaks from your despair. http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/0000cg51.xml 0f0ad82cda1c288f164596034666a9bc image/png 360 576 326271 http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/0000cg51 SHE WHO SEES: I Am One Who peers through the peephole and sees the secrets that others try to hide. I am curious as to what happens behind closed doors that they don't want anyone to see. Curiosity killed the cat, but I just want to know what is going on. I have learned to not ask about what I see nor to tell your secrets. http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/0000dcx2.xml 8e62a5d67cbe7c39b38c49f7725b0ff2 image/png 360 576 337536 http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/0000dcx2 SLOTH WOMAN: I am One Who drags you down and away from all that you say you want to do. I pull you into mindlessness and time creeps by as you watch with glazed eyes. Like gravity, there is no fighting me. You have to sleep or do nothing right now...whether you want to or not. http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/0000eehr.xml 5ddca150828f9785272b60c0d966f976 image/png 360 576 365332 http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/0000eehr THE WARRIOR: I Am One Who patrols the night alleys and fights the demons that no one really believes in. I am called, chosen, to protect the innocent and those I call my own - my tribe. I give my life to them every time I go out into the night. http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/0000f7bh.xml 0b1df00d48eb58d22eb239c949dd0764 image/png 360 576 349954 http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/0000f7bh EATING THE FRUIT: Forbidden and juicy. Nutritous and sweet. Sticky and fresh. The fruit of the tree -- of knowledge, of the dead, of immortality. It is held out as too dangerous for you, young lady. But the risk is worth it. http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/0000g3g0.xml 93409942faf3e484db04b2ce1a7277cc image/png 360 576 389212 http://pics.livejournal.com/ninthraven/pic/0000g3g0
