34. EVENING

Keywords: Making even

The highs and lows of existence create apparent injustices. For not taking justice into one's own hands but allowing the evening process to work through from the universe for the good of all. For the evening of one's life, gently calms the spirit to a peaceful state of grace. Brings stillness and coherence to the whole system.

Background to the essence
The basis of the essence is the inspiration of the evening primrose, which scents summer evenings. Each flower lasts one night and you can watch then unfurl. They are wild flowers and choose where to grow. The flowers here were a pale lemon and not the normal yellow. They exude calm. The word evening here has three senses : that of evening out bumpy processes, making even apparent injustice and the evening-time in one's life. As all the essences, it is multi-layered.

34. EVENING

Loss and Ends

When all you know is lost out of sight
And all you can see is a strange newness
Where you don't fit
But exist

Keep with me.

When all your world is taken away
And all that is left is house and not home
Where you don't live
But survive

Stay with it.

When all your life feels nearly at end
And all that you face are loose odds and ends
Where you don't match
But just mend

Hold yourself.

Whatever they say on dealing with loss
Is far from the truth when it is yours
And you can't cope
But just breathe

So with me.

Just know this now, some day it will come
That evening out gets to be done
Then you will find
A new eve

As I have.
