todays meditation started with a feeling of pain so strong it was nauseating.

then i saw stormclouds, thunderclouds seen through a red haze.
They grew eyes, and a mouth, and I was shaking with fear.

the world resolved into a white light, and a wall of flames, and I was aware that I was feeling the birth of the warrior. I felt calm, and strong, and I had strength to match the stormclouds.

I had to ask the warrior to go away so i could feel that again, and it was scary.

they were asking if i was sure, i wasn't but it was good to know they were there.
