The Sibylant Star is that unbeatable thing in you. No matter what life throws at us, no matter what awful contortions we might be subject to in the course of our existence, there is a subatomic molecule of joy that can neither be created nor destroyed, and it is yours.
Caelum discovered hers at the bottom of the Toad Well. Unconscious under water, perhaps she’d even drowned — Caelum went on a journey and found that her particular magic was a kind of forgiveness magic born of a take-no-shit form of unconditional love. And right on time, her mentors Rasp and Elly returned to show her how to wield it. To make sure she knew that once she’d found her star, it would radiate inside
everything she did, from that point on and forever more.
The Star of the Sibylants is the still small voice that never steers you wrong. It’s the truth springing up from an eternal source, right there on the inside. It’s gnosis and the muse, and a sparkling little doorway into
love as the only weightless timeless place in the whole dang universe.
The Sibylant Star, never ever diminished, shining and unbroken no matter what ravages may come, can always be followed — whether you’re soaring with it through the luminous cosmos or inching along behind it through the mud like a glow worm on a dark night. Unbeatable, eternal, and true.
