Discovery of a Portal

Portal: (roughly and personally speaking) a very rare gateway to another place, most likely to a better place, filled with discovery, delight, adventure, intelligence, danger, and pleasure.

Not many are granted with the encounter of portals in one's life. So a battle ensues between the adherent and the agnostic. As for me, I can declare it is ascertainable.

Discovery: Late February, UCR - Rivera Library, 3rd Floor - Cubicle to the left of mine

Passing Through the Gates: There are two entrances into this portal. First: Through the optical organ of the animate gateway - where it is an emotional and psychological field of safety, appreciation, and acceptance, with a hint of resistance cast through the being while crossing the threshold of the gate. Second: The more difficult entrance to pass through because of its more physical and profound nature. It does not welcome strangers or first rate friends at all; you are only chosen, and even so, it will not let you travel through with ease. You initiate the opening in steps: First, you call its name given by its creator. Second, you stare through the first passage. Third, wait for the portal to start opening as a response to the recognized inflection. Fourth, you deliver yourself four inches away from the gate with silence and patience, and wait for it to suck you in. Lastly, you morph into the being given by the other dimension. At that moment, greatness activates.  


Specific Elements:
~In the blush of the morning, for a quick moment, it is a butterfly that lands hesitantly on my forehead, unaware of my consciousness... leaving a lasting impression for the rest of my day.
~It softens my night with its mellowed sounds of repose.
~It shapes the top half of a cartoon heart when consuming nutrients and fighting off a smile.
~It inhales my scent and exhales relevance.
~It educates me through silence.
~It drains my thoughts of immortality and wakens my human nature.
~It demands my personal greatness.
~ Two words: PERCH EFFECT :)
