You do not have to explain
what protecting your peace means
to anyone

I drop the old life
like a burning hot coal
that cannot be held any longer..
Gone,
no longer mine
And wisdom whispers,
"It never was.."

Great aloneness
Great Aloneness
Do not fear the abyss of great aloneness
We all arrive here
Coming from different entrance points
This is a critical point in the journey
Where we have choices to make
And no choice is wrong
Stand and gaze deeply into this void
where nothing and everything exists
without turning away
There you see the most crystal clear reflection
of the most beautiful sight
you have or ever will see
And then the choice we must makeLeave a comment

You
You
You
Unto yourself
Have the most beautiful vistas
The most magical views
The highest of summits
The deepest of valleys
You're an adventure
Something to behold
A breathtaking sightLeave a comment

Flip your story on its head..
Yes the pain, the sorrow, the ache
But more the strength, the resilience, the power
You are the hero of this story
-
The suffering serves its purpose
It shapes you
It deepens you
It transforms you
And then there comes a time
The perfect time
Where it must be dropped
Like a hot coal
The chrysalis breaks open
And you emerge brand new

Dreams
Let the dream come to you
Let it gently nudge you awake in the wee hours of the morning
Listen to its whispers
Let it invite you to play like your childhood best friend
Go play with great abandon
Dreams come to us
They wish to live
They float on the breeze and enter our hearts
They are meant for us
Only we know their musings, their depth, their beauty
It is up to us to nurture them
To set them free
To let them fulfill their own destiny

To all the writers, the poets, the dreamers
Thank you to all who have gone before me
Who held the torch so high
so that I could see in the dark night
I crawled and crawled
and you did not waver
The light stayed strong
Just like you said it would
"Keep going" you always implored
And now I'm here
I made it
Filled with gratitude
I see you hand me the torch
I will hold it too for those on their way
We must do this for each otherLeave a comment

From the ground up
Today I was thinking about my desires..
To one day be surrounded by people I love, who love me,
who I feel safe with..
Then it dawned on me..
I don't feel safe with anyone.
Sitting with this for a moment,
I don't get sad like I sometimes do.
Feeling so lonely.
Instead I tell myself the first most important thing is,
I feel safe with me.
I protect me.
I have the power now..
I didn't then,
But I do now.
This is where the work starts..
Knowing that I can be who I needed to show up for me then.
I come to my own rescue.
I build my own strength from the ground up.
Growing up we sometimes don't get the protection from the people that are supposed to protect us. Sometimes the people closest to us are the ones who harm us. This is not our fault. Our younger selves do everything they can to survive. Wounds can be deep and painful.
It starts with baby steps, learning to love ourselves. Something we may have never been shown how to do or taught. Learning to love ourselves also means protecting ourselves. Not abandoning ourselves to please others. Not putting others needs before our own. Not exposing ourselves to harmful people or situations that don't have our best interest at heart.
Our mental health, our safety, our happiness is our responsibility. Which can feel daunting, but actually it is empowering. We get to choose now. Be a warrior and fight for your life. Be decisive. Choose you. You can heal. You can be happy. You can experience genuine love. And you absolutely deserve the best things life has to offer. Thoughts?Leave a comment

Your biggest love

When feeling disconnected
When feeling down
When feeling overwhelmed
When feeling unsure
Feel
But remember beneath all of the haziness
A crystal clear stream runs through you
that is perfect, pure and ancient
Even the densest fog always clears
