Before the coronation
The air was heavy, my body moving in trance, and I heard Grandfather say I had come farther and faster than they expected. My voice, my gifts, my place, all of it was being called into use.
But before that crowning, before the procession and the coronation, there was the Gate.
I fell into vision and saw stained glass and flower petals, and Grandfather’s voice welcomed me: “You are now an official gatekeeper. You have found your life’s purpose.”
This was the threshold, the opening that would carry me into the heart of my spiritual journey.
