Rizpah's Inner Vigil

Neville's Inner Vision

I see Rizpah's act not as a battlefield scene but a ceremony within consciousness. The rock is the fixed I AM, the unshakable awareness upon which the self rests; the sackcloth is humility appropriated, a willing mourning that holds a state long enough for the creative power to act. From the harvest of your present moment until the drop of heaven's rain, you are asked to maintain that steady, protective mood—refuse the birds of negation and the beasts of fear that would devour your values. What she guards are not corpses but the enduring dignity of those you hold sacred in your inner family and community. Your every detour into despair or self-pity is a perceived threat to the vulnerable images within; by remaining watchful, you convert those inner threats into the faith that the I AM can and will redeem by lifting, renewing, and sustaining them. This is perseverance in action: a continuous act of conscious protection, rooted in mercy that does not abandon but holds fast until revelation arrives.
