WE ARE AS LIKE A RIVER, SISTERS...
compared to THE GREAT SISTERHOOD. We, as like all of womankind, must return home to the great sea of dreams from whence we came. And yet, before we do return, we will change the mountains, the soil, the dirt of the massive civilization of mortal men and women.. we have been sent out into the world with a yielding but intense Dharma. Our Great Work, Our Dharma has just begun.. it will take a thousand years to complete and the real lives of tens of thousands of elven sisters (men and women) to fulfill. We are so glad to have you with us, so glad, so glad..

And that you haven't as yet, begun to take your place; and have other more pressing matters to attend to.. well sister, we all shine on. What we do reveal is all, but to read and comprehend is quite different from truly intuiting and overcoming inertia.
Our names have been called, our song has been sung. We are ready to dance with the Goddess, and if you but read and see clearly, but for a moment.. we are so glad, so very, very glad to have you with us.
Our dharma is the dharma of womankind, and our men are men with the souls of women, who remember brightly the life of moving and yielding and attacking with love. Who else is there to stand up for Mother Earth in Her time of need?
And the river that is Elfland, must join with the river that is man and woman, so that the lovely, and the poetic, and the magical, are not left behind in man's endless quest for a purpose that was there in the first place. Surely man doth deserve more than his endless buffoonery and pathetically overestimated notion of himself.
Our inner sisterhood is one. Our sisterhood is the host, the living body of Terra, the essence of womansoul essential to conscious life upon this planet. We come together, my sisters, to most imperceptibly guide an infant humanity from the cradle and into a secure childhood. The problem of mothering the child-humanity into the turmoil of planetary adolescence will belong to another sisterhood. If we do our Great Dharma with adeptship, sisters, we will be sisters again tomorrow and tomorrow and ten-thousand tomorrows.
(starting right of image 2 and concluding beneath it)
We will be born again as men and women, and we will have begun to know the place. And when we see the magic of the season and flow of the river coming on home to the sea, we will remember ourselves in kind surrender. For surely, the deva people come again and again back to Mother Earth with love and inspiration. Our Crystal Blue Mother calls us sisters. Can we not bring our elven love and elven life to merge with the howling infant who would crash the stars and planets, but to prove his point?"
