herself to you.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">She stands before you,
behind you, above you, and below you.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Her psychic soil invites
you</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">to sow visionary
seeds of wholeness.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">The path has no clear
ending.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Her trails are opaque
and wild.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Sometimes she pulls
you into the thickest darkness.,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">where surrender is
your compass. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Your vehicle is
devotion.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Your power is choice
and discernment.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">An inner knowing soon
awakens through the darkness.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">And you root deeper
into trust. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Prayer is your purpose.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">In the darkness,
there is a tender longing</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">to commune with the
sacred. </p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">This path stretches
beyond</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">the conception of
your human ancestor’s lungs.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Far more ancient than
you can conceive.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">It is rooted in what
is wild.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">And in that wildness,
you learn to navigate</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:14pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">the polarities of
darkness and light.</p>
