I Achieved the Gate!

qosNo time to write a lengthy entry this morning, but I wanted to note, for the record: yesterday I finally succeeded in getting to the gate and looking through it!
For those of you who friended this journal recently, my patron goddessess assigned this task more than a month ago, and I've made several attempts to find the gate and look through it, none of them entirely successful.
This time, my guide was -- of all things -- the sound of Philip Quast singing part of "Javert's Suicide" from Les Miserables. Instead of treating it like mental static (as I had done the last time it started head-tuning during an attempt), I tried to find a clue or a lesson in it. The answer: go down, make a descent.
And so, like Inanna, I started letting go of symbolic and literal tokens of power and identity in order to get where I wanted to go.
And it worked.
More later, when I have more time to write, and more time to discern what should and should not be told.
