Kali is the Goddess of fierce goodness. In her blackness she is all-embracing absorbing all colors "Just as all colors disappear in black, so all names and forms disappear in her" (Mahanirvana Tantra). She transcends all form. She is Nature. In her absolute, primordial nakedness she is free from all coverings of illusion or maya. She is the bright fire of Truth. Kali dwells in the heart of her devotees and through her grace of awareness burns away attachments and limitations. She laughs at our ego and opens us up to accept reality, embrace our humanness. Kali is the goddess of kala (time) and her boon is freedom. Kali is the Mother of all.
One of my spiritual teachers Sally Kempton wrote a wonderful article on how to connect with your inner Kali. http://www.sallykempton.com/yjarticles/fierce.html
