Building the Ark offers hope when everything in our lives feels shattered. The essence helps us open our hearts, feel compassion for ourselves, and see possibilities for a new life-direction.

Once again my dreams are wild and chaotic. What do they mean? What pattern do they reveal? Slowly I see them as the shattered pieces of my life laid before me. This is what I am, for better or worse. Perhaps there is no pattern, just the pieces. I feel helpless and confused. None of my old skills serve me here. I wait and listen. The cave begins to feel like a womb. I feel the Great Mother’s dark presence hovering behind me but I am not afraid. Everything is already in ruins. There is nowhere to go. In the darkness, I feel her hands gently caress my swollen eyes. Then, she slowly reaches under my ribs to embrace me. With grateful tears, I fall back into her embrace. With her enormous body surrounding me, I open the floodgates of my broken heart. Instantly, I know she will protect me. I see the pieces on the floor and they look different now. I gather my broken dreams and spin them into something new. She guides my trembling hands. Nothing disturbs this task.

“Only love organizes in these realms. Leave everything else upon the floor. What you have loved must now serve Love.”
