qosQoS: Daimon, you’ve never walked the road of spirituality with me.
Daimon: You never asked me.
QoS: < blink >
Daimon: Whether thou goest, I will go – so long as you are true to yourself. If this is part of your path, of course I will go with you, and love you every step of the way. You have never believed I could follow you here. It is not that I ever refused to come.
QoS: < remembering a scene from Seonaid's story, in which the daimonic character went to a chapel to wrestle with his desire for a member of another religion, having his own faith standing in the way of union with his beloved >
Daimon: I have never been a priest for you – but I can be. For all your study of sacred sex, all your learning, you have still separated spirit from sensuality and passion.
QoS: They have always been separate for me.
Daimon: We will change that.
Daimon: You never asked me.

Date: 2004-02-12 09:23 am (UTC)I've come back and read this several times since you posted it. It is lovely and intriguing, but I'm not sure what's going on. Is Daimon a real person, with a history I'd need to know to understand this, or is this a symbolic internal discussion? Either way it is wonderful, but I'm not certain of your meaning.
Thank you for sharing it though.
Re:

I'm using "Daimon" in the sense explored by Caitlin Matthews in her book In Search of Woman's Passionate Soul: the inner masculine spirit/muse who is (or can be) inspiration, teacher, inner lover, initiator, etc. for a woman. I'm in a transition right now that involves various aspects of my internal landscape and identities, including my relationship with my daimon - who is evidently poised to take on a new role.
