i shall find a quiet pool in the forest and i shall be alone there often. i shall gaze into the deep, still water and that stillness will be in me. i shall sleep by my pool and dream, and i shall leave you messages in oracles and poems. or you may dream with me, (for you are as much myself as i am you and your dreams are also my dreams) you may join me and wait through the night till the animals come to drink. then i will show you the shape changing and we will become the animals. my magick can heal, for it comes from the place where there is no separation and we are all one, where the water of the pool merges again and is lost in the ocean.
