Life is strange and beautiful sometimes.
Listening and hearing are two different things.
Practicing trust is not for the weak.
Our ancestors are not only human.
Che sarà, sarà. Giving space for what is and it’s own organic evolution can be liberating once we move through the fear of it all (ie work through the parts of our trauma that want to control everything).
Allowing the unfolding and natural expansions and contractions is a practice.
Some people will always hold a tender space in our soul. This doesn’t mean they necessarily have a place in our current life.
The ways we are so disconnected from the earth and each other is frustrating, exhausting, and sad beyond description. Finding our ways back to each other can be infinitely healing, if we allow it to be.
“I'll never try to keep you, but I'll try to be the kind of place that makes you always want to stay." ~J. Warren Welch.
Savoring now while excitedly anticipating the future - that’s the trick isn't it? The both-and of it all. Being in the now while also having things to look forward to, be hopeful for.
Grief doesn’t have a time limit or, in many cases, an expiration date. It may shift and morph, contract and expand, become less raw except in those unexpected moments, sometimes more than a decade later, when it feels fresh and ultra sensitive again. But it doesn’t just go away in six months/years/decades because we think it should.
Grief is the price of love.
People aren’t required to let us in, no matter how much we want them to or what kind of relationship we have. It is our responsibility to manage our own frustration or disappointment around this.
We may try to resist our soul path, but we’ll get course correction after course correction, with increasing intensity, drama, and trauma until we finally surrender.
Knowing what could and or should be doesn’t mean it will be in this lifetime. That doesn’t mean we don’t put in the work to make it possible.
Some bonds transcend time and space.
The idea of home looks and feels different to each of us. And when we feel it, we know it.
Silence is a message that can be deafening.
