Reasonable power

Can power ever be considered ‘reasonable’? Finding solace in the King archetype.

Have I been committing personal regicide?
Killing my inner king??
I say ‘reasonable’ a lot…
The unruly shadow magician has the reigns

Evil sorcerer
Even The King is vulnerable to elixir

“Focus!” …says my child
“To the hearth —
The home fires must burn again”

Timely incendiaries across all fields?
Or just the dim-lit?
He says “I just want to be central!”
Clever marksman hollers from beneath:

“A great king must be centred, not central
The intermediary between heaven and earth
The conciliator of opposition
Work with the magician — advisor to the throne, not overthrown”

Fills the gap between theory and practice
On the road…between perception and action

I am decisive

I am immovable

I am complete, undivided, intact, and unbroken.

I am WHOLE!
