Nature is divine, which also means nature is terror. On a certain level, I think the two are definitely inseparable. I think it would be easy for me to just toss all of the beliefs I have cultivated over the past two years (beliefs I derived from my own self directed studies and experiences) and just say "well frell it all to hell, what does it matter any way?" But I accepted a year into my studies that nature is a metaphysical and very physical powerhouse, now it was just time to put that acceptance into action.
Life is Chaos, Nature is Power, and we all are caught up in the whirlwind at some point. Its not a matter of if, but when.

_________________________________________________________________________________
I am a daughter of Nyx given life by Apollo’s flame
a body from love herself, Aphrodite
a fallen petal from her rose
my spirit is the horn of Artemis’ slain prey
my heart, a sentinel on Hecate’s way
Eris knows my turbulence is a fear of everything remaining stuck,
She saw Artemis choose me as a child,
but my tutoring begins in her classroom right
before a cavern into Hade’s subdued earth
Gaea gave me the sight to see how her two lovers,
Day sky and Night veil,
are the architects of her kingdom
and Zeus gave me the hunger pains for life,
one that is best served on a platter next to Lust and Triumph
Hera gave me a seat where everything can for a moment remain still
and at peace next to my wife, my beloved,
who is a gift from the serendipity that heaven
tosses about like salt to bless a house
Persephone granted me wisdom to know
that hell is just an ugly word for change
And all the spirits of my home are revealing to me
the roads that lead to their own hidden abodes
Hail the Theoi! Hail the Spirits of the Land!
and I say to my wandering self,
if she hears this, may she return home.
