The cave took me to another realm of my soul. A pretty place filled with purple clouds. Though dark in color, the place was illuminated with bright stars. It was a warm and hopeful place, something I didn't realize existed within me. I reflected back to the ice cocoon Self, and wondered if she knew of this place, or if she was intimidated by my desert. Regardless of her dilemma, I knew it was not yet time for her awakening. I had much ground to cover, and I still haven't found all I sought.

These clouds represented my thoughts. I suppose that my hopefulness was reflected here, so they too were hopeful and warm. As we resonated with one another. I did feel a little lost here as there wasn't much in the way of a path, just clouds and sparkles. But I moved on in a direction, determined to find more inside myself. I knew I couldn't be far from the core.
