Dancing and Weaving

When I started chanting I felt like I was shouting into the dark, like a witch or shaman dancing around the bonfire flames, singing to hold back the dark powers outside the circle of light.
Now, 40 minutes later, I feel the protective web I have woven around myself, and my lightness of being returns. I will keep weaving, and the filaments are so strong. Without separating from my world, I can walk strong, and know the protective forces (shoten zenjin) are so very real!
