You,
beautiful one, Are the answers you seek. You, Beautiful one, May wear scars on your heart And wounds on your skin But you are not broken - You don't need fixing. Look inward, My precious friend, Dare to feel, Jump right in! Slow down; Breathe. Your heart speaks: Tune in. Know this, beautiful one, You are whole and complete Just as you are - Perfectly imperfect In THIS moment. Stop running; Stand still; Dare to feel. Breathe in stillness Breathe out fear The love you crave Lives within. Yes you, Beautiful one, Are the answers you seek.

I find myself called to share this from my heart to yours...
Just recently life has been pretty challenging for me.... I am at a stage where the universe is ridding me of friendships which are not compatible with my growth... It can be - has been - very painful and has called for painfully honest reflection about my part in co-dependent friendships in which there was, in reality, nothing of true value for me despite great cost. I found myself desperately wishing l could have learned such a painful lesson without pain but then reaching a beautiful place of gratitude for the love, acceptance and support l find in friends such as you. In this beautiful place of vulnerability I find myself sent home from work with an ocular migraine, unable to see or think straight.... Yet what is left when it lifts is a wonderful clarity as to the true nature of love and friendship and why those relationships which were one sided or unhealthy had to go. And it goes deeper... This clarity shows me very clearly that no matter what our perception of people is, nobody has anymore wisdom or knowledge within them that anybody else: it is simply about learning to tune in. To listen. It is always there.... Within the eye of the storm. For me, if my body needs to stop me from functioning normally in order to get me to pay attention to the wisdom it holds, then that is what it will do... Literally take away my ability to see straight so that l am forced into the beauty, silence and wisdom of solitude. It is so easy to feel as if we 'should' know better or 'should' be past this stage by now or that everyone else is doing much better than we are but the truth of the matter is that this is bullshit! There is no comparison because we are all different - by design! We are all simply walking each other home. Our vulnerabilities hide our true strength: our softness. Perhaps instead of seeking answers we can drop the questions, knowing that this is it! There is no more - to find, to do or to be “Feel the emptiness, don’t fill it”
This is the very clear message the universe has been communicating to me recently.... am wondering perhaps it resonates with you? Not that it matters, but if my experiences can bless another then it makes total sense to share them! The majority of the earthly years l have been aware of being on this journey have for me been in part, characterised by pain: so much letting go of so many deep-rooted habits, behaviours and patterns.... becoming more and more aware of my programming and watching it operate before being able to choose, on occasion, to not engage in it.... being confronted with the darkness within me, often in quite brutal ways so that l would stop running and start facing myself.... allowing friendships that no longer serve me or meet my needs, to fall away without the need to ‘ensure’ the other person understands or accepts my motive... All of these experiences have led me to the space l find myself in now - one of emptiness. It is as if l am able to feel what was always there but had been concealed by all of the stuff l had accumulated over the years...At first this was quite disconcerting as it was completely new to me. But now, l am filled with a beautiful gratitude and sense of fulfilment in how things ARE rather than in what l want to achieve or become. I feel blessed that after a long period of painful letting go - of what l am not - l am exoeriemcing the stillness - the emptiness - of peace and acceptance. Daring to feel this beautiful space is something l would highly recommend. lt is a beautiful reward for the pain of unbecoming. “Feel the emptiness, don’t fill it” |
