Merlin Journeys

April 23, 1985

This was my first planned journey.  Like many of us Merlin has always been a part of my life so it was probably inevitable that I start here.

I began meditating on the image of the magician in the tarot card.  Merlin came to me wearing a long flowing robe.  I touched the fabric of his robe and found it to be a fine silk.  I asked him why silk and not something strudier and he said because he liked the feel of the fabric.

We walked back to my sanctuary ( the rock by the stream) and he was delighted with the place.  He told me that was something we shared, our love of nature and the fact that we both found peace in such spots.  We stood there looking around and Merlin spotted a small frog that he bent down and picked up.  This surprised me because I realized that I'd never noticed animals in my sanctuary before.

For a moment I'm lost in my own thoughts and when I turn back to Merlin he has changed into a much younger man (mid-thirties).  He said I almost missed him because I wasn't looking and he was the right man for me.  My immediate reaction is he's telling me that I've missed the significance of someone in my life and I begin comparing his current appearence with every man I know.  I'm unsure how long I stood there thinking but when I returned my attention to Merlin he was once again as he had been and was sitting on the rock, simply watching me.  I asked him to explain who the younger man was and he said I misunderstood what the younger man really said.  suddenly I realized that the younger man, Merlin and I are all one and the same.  I silently ask Merlin for some explanation of this thought and he keeps saying I'll understand eventually.
