Midnight Meeting

Written By Damascena Tanis

MIDNIGHT MEETING

The wave moves towards its crest.

As darkness descends,

The pain creeps in.

Perhaps it hurts so much because I feel you so near, but cannot reach out and touch you.

Reconciling this has been the biggest leap of faith I’ve ever made.

To allow myself to experience you in this form.

This form that is tinged with a reality my heart can hardly bear.

But still, I want to meet you here.

In this midnight. Between sleep and waking.

I find you. I know it’s you.

Last night, cradled in this space I heard you say…

“I love you mom.”

The feelings that followed this tangible, dare I say audible, “I love you mom”…

They were as big as the galaxy.

My body moved beyond the room.

Expanding in an effort to contain the sensation of feeling your love.

I can’t keep up. I can’t contain it. So I stop the effort towards holding. And let my body go everywhere the love goes.

And now I am everywhere too.

So tonight, as midnight nears, my simple prayer is this; let me spend it with you.

Damascena Tanis

Damascena is an Archetypal Astrologer, Ayurvedic Wellness Practitioner, and The Facilitator of the Transformative Journey through the Mandala of Venus’ Wisdom, called “Sky Dancer”.

She is a passionate devotee of the ever unfolding mystery. As an expert observer, a trait she developed as an only child, she regards herself as both a student of life, and decoder of the cosmos.

Skilled at recognizing invisible patterns, and picking up on subtle shifts in the collective, she gets a thrill from uncovering and revealing the hidden threads that are woven together to create our paradigm.

Her passion for this existential detective work aligns well with her unique approach to one on one client work, as she helps others to discover the building blocks of their archetypal blueprint, and mythic overtones. She does not believe that astrology is static, and therefore works with clients to develop strategies and practices that allow them to transcend challenging aspects of their natal chart.

She lives on the Shores of Lake Erie with her husband, four kids, and Cat, Oscar (the grouch).

These days, when she isn’t interpreting a natal chart, or translating the stars for her astrology blog, you can find her engaging in one of her favorite pandemic pastimes, unraveling her inner “good girl”, cultivating the ability to thrive in the deep, dark, unknown, or playing her favorite game of identifying fun paradoxes called “two things are true at once”.
