I wonder if I'd have ever started Honda Knot had I known how long it would take to finish it and the difficulty involved in solving the puzzles required to discover and tell The Story. But, now, almost there, summit in sight and a timeout before commencing the rest/last of the climb.
Oracle
'Repeating chasms.
There is truth and confidence.
Holding your heart fast creates success.
Movement brings honour.'
Hilary Barrett:
"These are pits, where you fall into the deep, dark waters, flowing on into the swirling unknowable dark. The chasms repeat: there is no detour that would take you round them, so you must practise and learn the way of these deep places.
First, there must be truth and confidence: truth to the present moment (because this is simply how it is) and trust in your inner knowing, so you can be unreservedly present, with an unshakable grasp on the essential core. In these deep waters, there is nothing solid out there to hold on to – no external security, no way to orient yourself – and so you hold fast to your heart. This is a way to create success, staying in communication with creative source even in the chasm.
In movement, you find a different kind of security – one that depends on your heart, courage and commitment. This is the truest test of your convictions, when you have no way of knowing where your leaps of faith might land. Sitting in the bottom of the chasm does not bring honour; action does. Also, it's a way to be sure of yourself as an individual after everything else has fallen away. You act, and you become skilled in flowing through the steep-sided chasms."
