You are not broken.
In fact you’re very much still here.
And that next breath you’re taking? It’s there to catch your fall also. And the next. And the next.
I know you’ve been through a lot. Too much for any one human to manage. I don’t know how you’ve even done it, except that maybe we all have supernatural abilities.
What you and I and everyone have been through. Wow. It’s a lot of trauma to process.
Trust and believe, though, WE at our core are not our trauma. We are not our imbalances. Our essence is perfectly designed to belong in this world.
And I know people have judged us, and I’m sure that hurts a lot. But we’re all doing the best we can. We’re just trying to read the signals given off by others through our own skewed filters.
All we all want is to feel safe and loved.
We’ve all been traumatized. Heck , most human birth experiences alone will do that do a person, let alone the rest of our‘modern’ lives! .
It’s as if a heavy mesh has been laid down on top of our hearts from generations past. We’re all doing what we can to keep walking, even though it weighs us down.
Some attempt to sedate or control this mesh. Some pretend the weighted armor’s not there. But it is. It’s okay to see it. In fact that’s a way to free it!
We’ve gotta get curious about what materials it’s made from and how it was constructed.
And keep going. Keep breathing. Just take each battle for the greater hand of it all.
And wonder again and again what life would be like if we were free from it.
Taking each step carefully, and stopping to examine what jewels are embedded in this holy mantle of our ancestral inheritance.
While we’re here, we’ll add to the weave, or we’ll take some away. We may choose to remove the armor completely and run free and light again.
No matter what adventure we choose, Death will take us all in the end, there’s no exception.
Not to be too macabre. Haha. But just to say that there’s an inevitable exit plan built in here in this body.
So while you’re in form, what would it feel like to lean into your suffering? And to your joy? And to your loneliness? Into it all?
I’m right here if you need. Along with all of creation. We’re right here witnessing you grow.
You’re never alone, unless you will it to be so. But even in that stillness, the wholeness is always right there. Always a moment away.
Remember, not all that you experience in your mind is true. Often it’s produced by your body’s imbalances. It’s all part of this ride.
Return to your breath, dear one. Time and time again. And allow your body to be a vessel for your relief.
Maybe it needs to experience pain in order to receive the medicine it really needs. May we welcome this type of suffering.
And where we’ve grown habits that cause imbalance and disease, may we find new rituals that nourish and replenish us.
Renewal requires the willingness to be uncomfortable for the result of a greater good.
You’re never not on the path.
(Only sometimes lost in the brambles)
This is a call home to the path.
Follow my voice.
May this be your sign.
May this be a wink
From the fates to you…
To keep going! To breathe. To allow. To renew.
