In the Redeeming Pull of Surrender
An extinct volcano shows signs of an imminent eruption. Your longing to unite with its energy in a dance on the rim of the crater gains the upper hand over the fear of the danger.
An ascent to the summit begins. Ever more strongly the impulses of the coming dance draw you, while the pressure in the crater grows. Led to the summit by an almost magical force, you absorb the ecstasy inherent in the elemental wonder, surrender to the dance of your life, release yourself.
At this climax the volcano erupts with all its might. Your dance unites with its being. You let yourself be seized by it, consciousness dissolves, opens the infinite space of truth, which transcends the body in the final dance beyond life.
