Un-Safety
A relationship without emotional safety is not a healthy relationship. A relationship without safety is merely an insecure attachment, or a trauma bond. Safety brings freedom, to express, to have needs, to be vulnerable, to feel, and to grow. Anything less is emptiness

Reconciliation
I’m done with holding this anger and pain; It’s sucking me dry, exhausting to maintain inner levels of fury, outer facade of calm; reaching critical mass, causing me harm. And yet … I keep holding it up for all to see. Claiming moral high ground, seeking sympathy. Loosing sight of meaning, muddled up in my…

Surrender
Am I strong enough to surrender, Knowing what I resist will persist? Embrace the overwhelming fear that I might cease to exist. What if I’m strong enough to surrender, Wholeheartedly embrace the grief? Let it move through me, knowing on the other side lies peace. My inner child surrendered, Let me hold her in my…

Game face
Get your game face on, don’t leave without it. Like a second skin, smile fixed in place. Rest your game face, When no one is looking. Fakeness is exhausting, the cost of a lie. Put your game face on, can’t cope without it. Mask painful thoughts, too hard to share. Keep your game face on,…

Ghosting
I saw your message I knew you’d reached out. I wanted to answer but was paralyzed by doubt. What do I say? no words within reach. I feel hypocritical – not practicing what I preach. In my head I’ve answered a hundred times. Lines never sent, it never felt right. Confusing thoughts, uncomfortable feelings, Churning…

The Edge
Pause, Up close, At the edge of time. Stillness. Imagine a hand reach for mine. Soft kiss on the cheek, A scent comes to mind. Tugs my heart, a spirit to guide. Freeze this moment, This in between Heaven and earth, Seen and unseen. The before and after, what was, now a dream. Over and…

Om So Hum
Meditate in the early morning, Greet the day as the sun is dawning. Welcome all possibilities appearing As light in the darkness, simply being. Meditation, practiced daily, Builds connection compassionately. Expansiveness, holding space lovingly, Fully trusting, surrender completely. Meditating late in the evening, Put down the day before retiring. Let go of thoughts, no controlling.…

Change
Hard to admit when I show up unhelpfully, Kicking myself at missed opportunity. Speaking impulsively, creates separation. Try keeping quiet, not offering suggestion. A door was opened, a well-meaning invitation, But my ego reared up with a barrage of accusation. Wish I’d paused for thought, some time for reflection. Chewed back my words given chance…

I’ve got this!
I’m proud of you! So kindly meant. Sweet simple words, truly a compliment. But my mind’s on alert, to me it’s confusing – as foreign language it’s without meaning. Why would you say that? It wasn’t invited. What’s your intent? Vigilantly guarded. Still on my mind many hours later. Pin pricks of doubt what were…

Stay
I met my inner child today, She woke with me and decided to stay. I felt her presence as my dream receded, I stilled my breathing, no words were needed. My awareness of her remained, peripherally, keeping rumination at bay, as she whispered to me. I took some time and slowly edged nearer. Not face…
