Temples - the way beyond
The temple is the way beyond. It is the way of the spirit, the felt presence of the unknown, a hope or possibility, the afterlife. It is concept more than anything, a choice to believe in something you cannot see as a guide.
Vessels - the way in
The vessel is the way in. The observer. The student of noticing. The way of embodiment, of holding something, a physical sensation, feeling, sensory experiences, love, rage, all the energy of life on this planet.
Portals - the way through
The portal is the way through. It is the opening or passage one must take to change, evolve, begin again, and get past something. This can be a painful or challenging journey, or a maze. It may feel dark or hopeless until you see the light.
