🔥 Steemit Vision Quest - Week 2: Night Flight
Today begins the second round of the Steemit Vision Quest ( #svq ), where we bring our Visions into focus, like stars joining their rays into one potent light beam. This new community challenge encourages us to slow down, check in, and ask ourselves: What Does My Higher Self See?

The Calling
Dear Dream Catcher, capture your paradise, bringing heaven here and now. Dear Trailblazer, pursue your purpose, taking the journey led by the heart. Dear Storyteller, create and express your new narrative. Dear Designer, bring your passions into new creations that go beyond function and stir the emotions. Dear Symphony Conductor, assemble your various instruments together to sing in harmony. Dear Player, elevate life with your lightness that lifts others up. Dear Artrepreneur, present your gifts that bring value into the world. Dear Altruist, demonstrate your care for the wellbeing of others.
Steemit Vision Quest challenges you, dear Visionary, to bring your Vision for the future into focus for the higher good of all of us.
The Continuation
As you can see from Week 1, SVQ is starting strong, with a blend of surreal, ultra-real, and superconscious Visions! Look for a "Top 11" list this week, spotlighting the treasures we're unearthing here, with the theme: Sky Meets Sea. I greatly look forward to more otherworldly experiences in Week 2, with the theme: Night Flight. And after this, I eagerly anticipate Week 3, when the theme will be: Angels Among Us.
My entry for Week 2 is an art film, called “Night Flight,” featuring a poem by Mary Oliver accompanied by a singing bowl and whippoorwill.

Hi @cabelindsay. Below you will find my submission post for "Night Flight".
https://steemit.com/svq/@elohprojects/steemit-vision-quest-the-avatar-and-the-city-of-god
I hope you enjoy the breakdown. "Avatar" is a record of an inward journey through the dark night (or few years) of the soul and then the resolution in the light of awareness. The post is quite involved already so I didn't include a step-by-step but there are several detail shots, explanations and use cases. Please let me know if you would like to me to add some process shots. I noticed you discussing this in the comments though they weren't a requirement within the body of the post.
Here is the full image.
Seeing your Vision here, I'm reminded that the Creator designed us to Create; this is our Work, with a capital W. And so I honor the Artist in you, just as I honor the Art you are.
Inside this "Night Flight" of yours, I see sacred geometry in the taurus and the Flower of Life symbols, and I see fine lines connecting what looks like constellations, as if to remind us of the strings of connection intertwines all. I see the faces of indigenous people and the face of the blue interbeing below and the golden astralbeing above, just allowing my mind to bring some interpretation the mystery. I see a pyramid that invites me to climb higher. I see a stairwell, a slide, and a snake ride, inviting me to go lower. I'm moved by your winged sun, which I've also envisioned, and I honor the San Pedro journey that worked wonders through you.
Thank you for the Journey. Aho.
Wow. Beautiful insights. It’s refreshing and inspiring to hear cogent and pointed remarks concerning a piece of my work. Thank you for putting on this contest @cabelindsay.

Our Vision Quest owl is alive!

Here is my entry this week! Thanks for the head's up for next week, I will use the extra time lol!
https://steemit.com/svp/@fishyculture/night-s-journey
LOL! I actually DID read that whole thing about "Is it a g or a q?" and I managed to tag mine "svp" still... Some people's children!
These owls' voices call me to close my eyes, and open my extrasensory perception. There, in that space of nothingness, I find peace in the stillness of this moment. Breathing in, I draw in the peace that comes from beneath me, where the cold earth holds me. The entire forest glows, as my inner eyes adapt to the darkness. The entire forest glows, as I perceive the energies. The entire forest glows.
Thank you for your Work here, and the wings you've given me to "soar into the nothingness," as you say, and to "be the dreamer and the dream."
Thank you for hosting this! It is a most interesting "guided meditation" if you will, and you are a most gifted guide!
It does feel like a guided meditation, yes! I was feeling that same thought as I listened to your owls this morning, resonating with your guidance. Turns out, we are all the guides. :)
Hey @fishyculture, I want you to know we've showcased your Artwork here as a highlight from this week's Steemit Vision Quest: 💎 Steemit Vision Quest - Week 2: Night Flight [Highlights]. Congratulations, and thank you!
Aw... Thank you! You are too sweet to a very marginal artist lol! I have really enjoyed this, it is taking me back to some basics I have neglected.
Hi @cabelindsay here's my entry for this weeks vision quest.

Thanks for putting this all together x

I appreciate the way your poem acknowledges the Journey that a dream can take us on. You're right that it's something to be excited for, something to look forward to. Yeah, I've often dreaded sleep because it took time away from my Work, but then there's that other Work that must be done in that place there, and that other Work is pretty exciting, with an attitude of gratitude.

I like the way this image combines the astral with the earthly. It's as if we people originate as star seeds, planted here on earth in order to learn how to shine. The sun, moon, and stars witness the ways we grow, as we learn to hold a glow, and radiate. The woman in your image appears to be rising from the depths of the emotions, bearing the brilliance of this beauty in her nakedness. I see inside her blue hue the reminder of her origin–the sky and sea.
A friend told me that once. I believe he's exactly right. The more we see the stars, the more we want to see the stars. And the more we seek their brightness, the brighter they shine for us.

It is an original poem and an original photographic artwork, by me. 😊

I sure appreciate a person who shows such reverence for the celestial presence that is the Moon. I like the way you see the divinity in Her.
Hi Cabe
This was a tough one. Thanks for your encouragement and sharing your self so generously.
https://steemit.com/svq/@girlbeforemirror/steemit-vision-quest-submission-week-2-night-flight
Feels so right to have your words here, being in the mode of melancholy, and having the courage to take us under your raven wings for a while and see life from your night sky. Thank you.
Hi!
Maybe it's too late to be in the contest but in the same way I want to share this with you because I do for the contest and I really tried and put my heart into this work, I also felt very happy and inspired to do this for the contest.
Just take a little moment to see it. I would like to know your opinion.

Thank you for these initiatives that keep us artists in constant growth.
As I expressed on your post page, I feel very grateful for this Vision of yours. It carries me on a Journey, to stark and silent places where I want to be, getting in touch with the source of my desires. Looking at the shadow side of life, and being OK being there, observing with a soft gaze.
It works with the theme so appropriately, thank you, and I believe it raises the bar for this entire event because it is so multi-faceted, so deep, so next-level. Thank you so much.
Good news: We've celebrated you as the featured Vision Quester this week, and we've showcased your Artwork in the Spotlight: 💎 Steemit Vision Quest - Week 2: Night Flight [Highlights]. Congratulations, and thank you!
