your own wisdom

No guru, guide, therapist, teacher, parent, authority figure

Will give you the answers you seek

They can only shine a light, create space, clear the way

For your own wisdom to shine through

No over-analysis, overly-intellectual, philosophizing, mental gymnastics

Will bring you closer to what you yearn for

Only by feeling will you allow the healing waters to flow through

At first that pain may feel crippling

It may be from months, years, an entire lifetime, many lifetimes

Backlog of fear, tears, pain, anguish, separation, betrayal, abandonment

The drama of life, on and on, changing roles as often as we change outfits

Have patience

Allow yourself to thaw out, bit by bit

Titration is the way

But here you are right now

The pain has finally caught your attention

It is a sign that you are alive — to feel is to heal

It is a blessing to begin the healing work

You have the courageous heart of a warrior

Do you feel it?
