Chokmah

[jla-extras.livejournal.com]

The cave seems to fade away and the road before them passes into a great silver gate that bears the gold filigreed word 'Chokmah'. Passing through the gate, it is as if they have been reborn anew. All about them is a garden of jewel-like blossoms and lush plants. Everything here seems to shine with an inner light and the dew is like rainbow light given form. Birds and insects and animals of all stripes can be seen amid the boughs and brush of the garden. The life and love here fill both of them till they feel as though they might burst in pure joy. Tefe can feel her soul on fire with bliss. White wings spreading out, opal at the feather tips. All is new and vital yet timeless and infinite at once..

A fountain of ivory and alabaster rises up from the garden. Surrounding it are the white statues of four knights or kings, each raising wand, cup, pentacle and sword in salute to the fountain which spews forth radient light that falls down upon the garden and the travelers. The radiant droplets infuse them with a sense of intense being. All is brilliant, sacred joy. The very essence of the act of creation and pure love infuses them. The need to act upon and to express all that they have learned in their journey seems nearly mandate.
