Both:
I agree to try my best
I agree to communicate
I promise to respect the thing that causes you shadow.
Shakti: I promise to respect your search for purpose
Shiva: I promise to respect your desire for creation.
It’s possible that my purpose is simply to support your creation.
Shakti:
It’s possible my creation is going to be your purpose.
I marry your not-enoughness, your boringness, desire for simplicity, your spiritual path
I marry your overdramatic need for the epic, for the story.
Shiva: I marry your too-muchness, your fear of not being seen, for all you are. I recognize you as authentic and divine . I see your not enough-ness and I respond to it with love.
Both:
Together, our relationship is a being; in a different dimension —
Every shadow we have we got it to help us survive. That’s why we call it evolution — but maybe it’s vestigial now
As shamans: we eat shadow and shit light. But we love the buffalo.
