Ereshkigalian Happy Dance!

[qos]

Yesterday morning I received a re-submission of a devotional piece from a local friend who had originally sent me two pieces but only returned one after re-writes. This piece is extremely personal, and she had a hard time going back to it and facing what it contained. When she saw my (locked) entry here yesterday about being open to more submissions, she asked if I still wanted it, and if I would be willing to do the edits. I told her yes and yes!

I loved rediscovering her piece. It's beautiful: very personal, very honest, and it so matches the Ereshkigal I know from my own contacts with Her.

Most importantly, the piece brings into the devotional an aspect of Herself that I'd lost track of: She is a "Goddess of Facing Your Shit." It's been a while since I focused on that aspect of Her, and I'm so grateful that this piece brought it back to the foreground for me.

Also, from a strictly pragmatic perspective, this is a longer piece, and I'm grateful to have a few more pages added to my final count.

After struggling with this project for so long -- to the point of wishing I could just give it up during the past few months -- it feels so good to have the end in sight and feel this rush of energy and joy in the work.

I'm somewhat entertained that you have an Ereshkigalian happy dance, hehe.

I had the distinct impression that She was too!
