elation

healing

inherited shame

can

leave behind

a sensation of

elation

so intense

it can be overwhelming

flowing

when asking for help

has become impossible

since

asking for help

meant

receiving what had not been

asked for

and

being blamed

for not being grateful

an invisible obstacle

settles

in our being

preventing life from flowing

freely

obstructing

stumbling over

invisible obstacles

can be worth

taking into account

as they might draw

the attention

to an invisible obstacle

obstructing the mind

preventing the soul

from shining

freely

increasing

holding on to

abundance

while feeling short of

everything

can be like a prayer in darkness

gently increasing the light

nothing spectacular

nor dramatic

just a simple holding on to

abundance

damages

awakening into peace

after days of turmoil

is like observing a landscape

after the storm

so relieved

it has passed

counting the damages

to tend

for harmony to flow freely

again

blessing the glory

of a new day

frightening

leaving behind

the ambition of

perfection

rooted in the fear

of never being

good enough

can feel so frightening

one would rather

disappear

what

it might not be

what

we experience

which changes

though

how we experience it

for life to flow freely

not necessarily

in the way

we had imagined

though

rather

in the way

freedom is possible under

the given circumstances

total

a wave of exhaustion

so overwhelming

that total surrender was

the only possible answer

hours upon hours

of sleep

recovering only gently

through the fragile layers

of the spirit

slowly reaching the mind

waiting for the body

to follow

stones

running into

a wall

while the hope

every stone

had been turned

had flourished

for a while

is not the end

of the world

though

for a moment

i can feel

like it

subjugating

being able to share

the glory of

what we are given

rather than

spending all our strength

trying to subjugate it

is such a relief

that it can feel like

losing balance
