Uriah Heep - The Wizard

.

I was 18 when I first heard this song. It cracked me, split the part of me that wanted to be the victim and avenge all the wrongs, like a Superman, or a Silver Surfer, or Plastic Man. I thought I had a right to be an avenger, because I had be ravaged. But, when I heard this song....and others during this era, that all changed.

I didn't want to be a Superman who fought all the time. I did not want to be a super-hero who had to fight for anything.

I realized that the "Wizard" was the watcher, the helper, the one with peripheral vision and a magic wand to balance out the blind spots.

I wanted to help with wisdom, not with more of the same violence.

I studied under many angels/teachers, some full of light, some full of ego, some just completely full of shit. I earned a few distinctions...priestess of this, sister of that; but earning is not learning, and if I held onto labels I would be full of shit too!
.
So I sought the source of this light I feel. I came back to the same thing over and over. A Wizard lives in each of us...A Priest, or a Sister thrives in knowing of the preciousness and the fertile right of beingness of every Earthling; be they Human or one from the Animal,Mineral, Flora or Energetic Nations.

I want to be a Wizard for the simple fact that a Wizard is a gate-keeper, not a sin-eater. A Wizard holds the door open without ego, or sorrow, or victim-hood. A Wizard holds the door just because they can.
