The Wisdom of Desire

"To read Darcy's luscious and searing
poems is to touch, and be touched, by the authentic spirit
of the Tantric Yogini traditions reincarnated in a modern
and original voice. Darcy offers us the fiery nectar of the
erotic, filtered through the alchemical retort of her own
deep Yogic and life journeys. The poems are a delight and
an astonishment to read." -Dr. Paul Muller-Ortega, Tantric
Shaiva Scholar, Author of Triadic Heart of Siva "In these
fierce and lovely poems, Darcy Lyon brings a rare
perspective to sensuality that's unblinking, kind, and
ever-curious. She's willing to ride every wave, wherever it
takes her, and to send back her reports from the froth, the
currents, and especially the radiant depths." -Raphael
Cushnir, Author of Setting Your Heart on Fire, 100 Ways to
Celebrate the Present Moment (voted-Best Spiritual Books of
2005) and The One Thing Holding You Back: Unleashing the
Power of Emotional Connection The Wisdom of Desire traces
a journey into the heart of desire. It lives in the
question, "What is it we truly hunger for?" Following the
trail of desire is an expansion of consciousness. Jung
notes that the unconscious pulls us towards awareness.
Longing and desire lead us down the road to addiction,
betrayal and broken dreams. They also lead us into the
expanding spiral, the winding pathway of our own awareness
and self-knowledge flowering. As we blossom more and more
into the light of awareness, delusion and addiction fall
away and we come to know our own thorns, our own uncertain
petals, the amrita at the heart of every flower, and also
the same light which blazes through each of us. Poetry is
an act of soul-making; it gives us back to ourselves. Darcy
Lyon has written poetry from her very soul; she speaks to a
joy that may be beyond words. As a professional artist she
weaves word, image, and music to create complex tapestries
exploring meaning and the soul's journey. She believes
passionately in the individual's ability to take the lead in
life and alchemically turn it into gold.
