Rainbow Serpent Spirit

most recently, i shared this image around the equinox in march and have been waiting for just the right moment to share it again and since this is 5-5-5 and right around the high holy quarter day between equinox and soulstice and a little birdie whispered that it’s the moment of eternity to celebrate the astonishing light of a being born on this date several years ago and he is the inspiration for sharing this image again, here we go… well, with just a little further ado… i love ekphrastic poetry and it seems the birthday boy does as well, so upon seeing this image, he penned a poem which i loved and promised to share with the invitation for all seeing this psychedelphic dream image of wisdom to share what this primal creatrix inspires in you…

“The Rainbow Serpent slides and slithers deep into our consciousness

Awakening mysteries of yesterdays and memories of old tomorrows,

Resurrecting iridescent dreams on waves of præsciousness,

Singing songs in the songlines and whispering of silent sorrows,

Swaying in rhythm to the mandapul melodies of lusciousness,

Writhing through æons of pain to show us that we need not wallow

In guilt of what was, or fear of what might be, in unconsciousness,

But learn the truth of who we are in Adaliya’s shimm’ring shadow.”

~ Stephen Comee ~

“Mandapul” is a recent name for the Didgeridoo in Arnhem Land; and Adaliya is an indigenous word meaning “Rainbow Serpent Spirit.”

thousand fold thanks, dear Stephen, may this be the most astonishing turn around the sun and may we all real-eyes the astonishing light of our interbeing and celebrate it every sacred moment of eternity…
