Life rarely moves at a pace we like or want. Surrendering to this truth, instead of fighting against it, is a practice.
Missing and craving can be as delicious as they are frustrating.
Sometimes we go down a path, that we know in our whole being is the right one, and still feel the warning that if we take that next step there is no turning back (even if we have no intention of turning back).
Helping each other work our ways around and outside the systems of harm is the only way we will make it through and another way to create change.
Liminal space can be anxiety-provoking. All of life is liminal space.
When we are alchemists our job is to support others in their own transformations as much as our own.
Letting go is never easy. Carrying around what isn’t ours to carry isn’t easy either.
Clarity is helpful, but so is chaos and being in the unknown and liminal space.
Kairos is real. Trust the timing of your life. Your are neither ahead nor behind.
Healing sometimes comes in ways we never expect.
When our hearts are full, we get to allow them to overflow.
It’s not just the exact words, it’s also how they are said and who is saying them.
Emotional maturity is a requirement for (r)evolution. People who claim to be (r)evolutionary but lack emotional maturity aren’t actually (r)evolutionary, they are just playing dress up and haven’t done (sometimes won’t do) the deep inner work required to actually bring change.
Talk is easy. Actions, everyday actions, are how you know who is who. Some of those actions are invisible because it’s done on the inside. But that inside work (or lack of) always show up in our outside actions.
Chosen family is chosen family, no matter how much time has passed or what physical distances are between us.
Love isn’t possessive or controlling. It doesn’t punish or lash out. All that is trauma and lack of emotional maturity (caused by trauma).
Trust is earned. First we have to learn how to trust ourselves.
Part of finding our ways back together is nurturing our own autonomy and agency and encouraging others to do the same.
