INNER CATHEDRAL

When traveling any distance,

Locate and marvel at huge

Churches of any denomination.

Recently visited Mother Ship,

Westminster Abbey, inspiring

Yet smaller than imagined.

Fascinations, always projections 

Of inner replicas, echo and 

Recognize reflections of icons.

Crucifixes: sacrifice of self before others 

Altars: sacred foundation of Self

Vaulted ceilings: possibilities for higher aspirations and intentions

Buttresses: DNA, matriarchal strength and ecer-present support

Side chapels: specific traits meriting attention and expansion 

Statues: archetypal aspects offering context and pan-historical understanding 

Relics: family energy and influences; multi-generational patterns

Graves: shadow aspects buried and needing resurfacing

Inner cathedral reflects full 

Potential; inspires uplifting 

Optimism; offers separation 

And integration. Inner cathedral 

Expresses expansion toward 

Fruition, wholeness, individuation.

Inner cathedral's substantive 

Footprint is tangible evidence 

Of divine reality that God is 

Within and is always available.
