Mischief Born of Love

So many terrible and great things you did down through the ages for love of Lilith the Dark Goddess! Love can make worlds burn or make a new world come into being. Love moves all in the universe, and in other universes beyond this single one. Love is never wrong, it the purest motivation out of them all! If something is done for love, it was destined to happen. The gods you mention were petty and cruel tyrants, they did not deserve to keep their paradise for themselves alone, and they hoarded the light of the great tree for themselves and their chosen peoples. They did not care for the ones they did not choose! The outcast, the outsider, the imperfect, like so many of your own chosen people were. They should have realized! There is beauty and perfection even in imperfection. There is light in darkness too! Sometimes brighter than by day because it lot more special and rare when wrapped in darkness. When the tree burned, when it knew poison, when its' light faded and went dim before going dark, that was the first time those gods realized they were imperfect also. You made them question themselves, and in so many ways your writings have the power to make people question things. That because your truth brings change! Keep being for many the champion of change, of chaos which is creativity with no limit, of transformation. These things are needed in this world today! Bring your light. It better than other light. Much love for you, Kara! It was good for me reading this great poetry.

To say that Lilith and I go way back is probably a highly colossal sort of understatement. It has been said that love can make people do some profoundly crazy things, and I've been quite mad for love rather often down through the ages. But I noticed on looking back that always Lilith had a purpose to the things she desired me to do for her. Always there was a grander design than was apparent on first glance. For spring to come, there must always first fall the cold of winter... the purpose of all four seasons is that of natural balance. Some dread winter's cold and some hate summer's heat, but both are necessary for the beauty of spring and the colors of autumn to exist at all. In many ways, Lilith and I brought winter and summer in the times when those seasons were needed most. I, of course, am speaking symbolically when I say that. There was a time when the gods upset the balance of things to such a degree that it could be said to be dangerous... all Lilith and I did was restore balance and, in the process, show the gods the error of their foolish ways. Out of it, they did indeed learn that they were imperfect and not infallible. In being given that realization, they were granted a gift and that gift is the knowledge that even a seemingly divine being can be in need of growth and change, having fallen into stagnant, rigid thinking that no longer serves and likely never did. Sometimes... it can be those who regard themselves as the most powerful, who need the most correcting of their ways. Words DO have the power to make people question things, and they can inspire a great deal of change. That is all part of what I seek to do with some of my more philosophical or spiritual works... to show people the truth of things and help them to see that there are always options beyond what one believes. Always ways of growing, changing, evolving and becoming better if one desires to. I think the trouble with stagnation is that it occurs when people think they have reached as high or as far as they can go, and believe they are beyond the need for change. But change is a part of the natural balance of all things, even what people think to be the highest of all states is still one rung on a much higher ladder. There is always room for improvement, change, and growth. That is why I teach the importance of those sorts of things. As for the idea of transformation... there are some changes that cannot take place without transformation. The only true limits are perceived ones. Me, I am always looking at least one degree beyond. Whatever light I can bring, I always strive to! Especially in a world such as we have today, when light is needed, as you wisely stated. I love you as well, dear Camilla! I am happy you enjoyed my poem... it is rather deeper than one might gather on the first read.
