1942 – July 18, 2003
Rob Work remembers Mary, July 19., 2021:
Yesterday was the 18th anniversary of the passing of Mary Elizabeth Avery Work, my beloved wife of thirty-five years, when she completed her life of sixty years and ten months. Below are some of the wise words that she wrote a few months before she died:
True Darkness
Light Resurrected
Eternal Now
My angle on creation
True Darkness
Light resurrects me
Eternal now
I want to
Help people articulate
Their angle on creation
Their sense of foreground/background
Their life questions
By focusing their energy of
Current reality
Releasing their energy of
Psychic tensions
Harnessing their energy of
Mythic, archetypal, interior
Images and Stories
Integrating their energy of
Deep connections
Remembering
I am the light of the world
Believing
I am the light of the world
Being
I am the light of the world
Each light is sacred
All lights are one
I am the light of the world
Transforming my cancer
A need to be kicked into/onto a higher level
An evolutionary leap
A fractal pattern –
The first journey – 8 years old
Into the stars until I don’t exist – the message
A longing for the experience of falling into the stars
a physical experience
I don’t exist – the return
Seeking unknowingly
Blindly, releasing energies
The second journey
Cancer continues the pushing into other realms
Fractal pattern
Keep going deeper into cancer
I don’t exist
Keep going deeper into stars
I don’t exist
Stars are patterns of light
Nodes are patterns of Indra’s Net
In the midst of return
The message through Light
A reflection of the I AM
Not a light generated by me
Inside me – me is me
But this me is captured
In the light and has become
A reflection – light in every cell
Light resurrecting
Live in now if
Caught in this light/life
Cancer – true darkness
Darkness
Primordial light
Penetrate to higher
Fertility/creativity
True darkness
Light resurrects me
Eternal now
New feminine – sacred
Image woven in my
Lungs – Indra’s net
Reminder of the fractal pattern
Journey – to receive the message
I don’t exist
The return
Where am I now
The mythic
Harnessing irrational energy
Energy process
Opening
Vibrational movement
Light pouring into dark dense cells
Thanking darkness
Enabling me to move out
Received as darkness
The Great Doubt
Forms in front – 3 inches
From sternum – coalescing
Needs an objective symbol
– The Great Doubt
– The Friends
How can I connect
Being salt of the Earth
And light for the world?
How can I shine in a salty way?
Pouring forth ions that bring
Ease and calm and peace and aliveness?
What is birthing?
What is implanted?
What is ready to grow?
I am challenged to demonstrate the
Sign of the light
– movement and repose
How do I move as light?
How do I rest as light?
I am challenged to be salt to the world:
Alive, piquant, essentially good
The salt of the Earth – a preserver
The taste of the sea, the giver of
Life
How may I cherish saltiness,
in myself and others?
How am I salt to the world?
I am challenged to be a light
Shining among the people
Who see the good you do and
Praise the I AM, Mystery, Divine Light.
May those things I touch
And create be structures of light
Dedicated to light
May I feel myself part of the explosion
Of inward light, capable of returning
Consciously and freely into the
Source of Light.
I remember and honor the loves of my life.
I enjoy with delight the signs of loves celebration
Everywhere
I open freely and respond creatively
To the mystery of each present moment
I work to deepen and stabilize an awareness of the
work of the spirit and soul
Illuminating my understanding of the forces
That work in beauty within
Me and all beings
Divine light is prayer
May my prayer shine
The light of divine care
On children. May I help
To create a world where
Children are cherished
May divine light as I
Experience it in my body
Work to heal my wounds
Work to heal the wounds of
The children, the Earth.
Niagara
Energy vortex
Waters unleashed
Chaotic
Rushing energy
Water vibrates
Receives all
Embraces, cleanses
Darkness and pain
Falls away
Purity of light
Unseen calm
Flow beneath
Patterns created
Serenity
