This series of poems is partial both in terms of what is shared publicly and also in terms of my own partiality as the poet toward portions of the Magda story that has so long been alive in me. With that acknowledged, I want to share my soul intent as the poet and author these words. The intent is twofold. First, as it relates to my soul's own unique journey through this life, I must express these things. To not release this flow would be to damn myself to eternal suffering. And, in spite of having chosen it so many times in my life, I do not believe in suffering. I believe in the eternal season of love and life lifted, and humanity with it, into the Realm of Radiance. Second, and far more in service to the whole, is the intent to set all things free for, in the word of Paul who knew so much of the nature of true freedom, it is for freedom we have been set free. You can read Paul's discourse on freedom in Galatians chapter 5 in the Bible. As for my own experience here in this life it is that I choose to fly free and to only fly for freedom. In other words, the path of freedom is the compass I use to navigate the seasons of this life. But there is more. I carry in my heart the love she who lives there had for all hearts and the many rivers that flow through those hearts. That love I cannot leave unexpressed. Though my own conviction is that there are many here who remember her and carry threads of her timeless tapestry of truth, this does not mean that I can forfeit the strand of her story I know so well, no matter how heretical. I come by this naturally. She always laughs with me, for it seems so did she. So it is for my own freedom and for the freedom of humanity, which is both a freedom from and a freedom for, that I write. These are poems from the soul for the soul. They are for all time and all whose hearts are freed in time. With so much love, Dawn
