Fade to Black by Dr Megalomania
“I can’t see the boy I loved, and I hate the man I’ve heard of. You are trying so hard, but you have to realise that time has moved us both.”
“I can’t see the boy I loved, and I hate the man I’ve heard of. You are trying so hard, but you have to realise that time has moved us both.”
Sometimes a troop of damsels glad,
An abbot on an ambling pad,
Sometimes a curly shepherd lad,
Or long-hair’d page in crimson clad
Goes by to tower’d Camelot;
And sometimes through the mirror blue
The knights come riding two and two.
She hath no loyal Knight and true,
The Lady of Shalott.
But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror’s magic sights,
For often through the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, went to Camelot;
Or when the Moon was overhead,
Came two young lovers lately wed.
“I am half sick of shadows,” said
The Lady of Shalott.
-Alfred Lord Tenneyson

It is good to think of the elements here, fire and water. Fire, transformation; water, liquid light, light condensed into water. Fire and water share many attributes, but one major difference is temperature, hot and cold, water/cold/frozen…fire/hot/liquid in their most extreme effects.
There will be more shaking and eruptions on your planet’s surface before she, your Earth Mother reaches ascension. Gaia is not angry with you when she shakes. You haven’t angered her when people die from the natural disasters that have been happening and will happen some more. Remember dear humans, the ones that leave their human body shells behind have agreed to leave at that particular moment before they were born during this lifetime. At the time you, their loved ones, or even themselves may not know this or remember, but it is true. It is true when your Creator God tells you nothing happens by accident. All has reason. Some reasons are more complex at times for you to figure out, but you do eventually.
