I Know the Goddess
She is not animal, nor flower, nor stone
She is not flesh nor blood
She is a force, an energy
that defies boundaries
otherwise undefied.
She is not good nor evil
She is not light nor dark
She is the balance
which all other balance envies.
She is not living nor dead
She is not the creation nor the conclusion
She is what is and always has been,
She is an eternal flame that will burn when all others die out.

The Goddess is the all-encompassing force which surrounds and pervades everything that is. She may be worshipped as an entity; we may imagine her as watching from the heavens. But she is not simply a deity, rather a vibration, a dimension all her own. She resides not only in the heavens, but in the earth, the trees, the seas, and the human soul. Thus, all is blessed by Her, the bright lady.
She was never born and never will perish. There simply was no beginning and there will be no end to Her. She exists while somehow not existing at all, because while She is present in everything, She is only seen and felt in the hearts of those who know Her. She gives a piece of Her universal soul to each being so that their spirit may be infinite like Her. She is unending, and will never be exhausted.
She is of many names, each of them beloved in their own way, each of them representing another aspect of the infinitely-faceted goddess. She gives and takes without discrimination. She is bright in her maidenhood, but dark as a crone.... perpetually furious, angry, mournful... always loving, watching, forgiving...
Such is the beauty of the chaotic Lady!
