I am disturbed by what is happening in my community, my country and the world. That is true. But, being a Sufi, I realize that my perceptions of what is happening in my society and world is also, and more importantly, a reflection of my inner landscape. If I am going to be of any use to my society during these troubling times I have to first explore myself and seek clarity about my own life and how I am living it. I need to question my intentions and actions in ways I have not done in many years.

As a first step in my journey I am returning to my roots before monotheism and spending time with the Wicca of long ago. When I say Wicca I am not speaking of any organization or books but rather the Mother Goddess energy and Her messengers. She has been there before for me and I feel Her call now. Fortunately I live next to a park with Native American mounds and the energy is very conducive to mystical and transformational exploration with the Mother. I will also be increasing the amount of time I do chi kung, meditation, and yoga.

I am not sure how much of this journey I am going to share on this blog yet. I just wanted to let you know what is going on with me. I will say I feel like the Fool in the Tarot deck.
