Quetzalcoatl
the feathered serpent
airSerpent of the earth and bird of the sky at once, Quetzalcoatl is the union of opposites; to dream of him is to be asked to hold two truths without breaking.
Fragments
Serpent of the earth and quetzal of the sky, he is the seam where opposites are sewn together.
He gave maize and writing to mortals, then sailed east on a raft of snakes, promising to return; some dreams are that promise, still keeping.
