Walk With Me

If you are feeling

Unsteady

Unstable

Unsure

Shaken up

Falling apart

Believe me

It is not a bad thing

All of this turmoil dear one, is a sign that you are in the right place

Breathe

Just breathe

Take hold of my hand

I will help steady you

Everything you have been told

Everything you thought you knew

Everything you were ‘sure’ of

Will be brought into question

And rightfully so

In order to come fully home to yourself;

To the perfect soul once born into this world

We must first allow ourselves to fall apart

All of the pieces that have been set into place will no longer fit

Some may

But others must be replaced

How many times must we die to be reborn?

100 x 100-

For as long as we live we must die over and again!

You are as a snake shedding yet another layer of skin

You may feel disoriented

Tender

Raw

Exposed

But this is exactly what must happen for expansion to take place.

Fear not the pain

Rejoice in the potential awaiting your willingness to explore new ways of being

Be curious

The spirit that knew they wanted to see you to this crossroads, (come hell or high water), remains ever by your side

They are not intimidated by your making your way however you choose

Quickly

Slowly

Even kicking and screaming

You are welcomed

However you choose to show up

They made a promise to you long, long, ago

And in return you agreed

You promise to do your best to remain open to remembering

It was your job to take the lead

And spirit promised not to take “no” for an answer

You must lose your mind

Lose sight of the way you ‘think’ things should look

Forget what you believe about how you or things should be

Shit on the shoulds!

This is your birthday party

Cry if you want to but remember to breathe

Long

Slow

And full breaths

Place your trust in the madness

Open your heart

Lose your mind

Trust that you can NOT do this thing called life wrong

Trust that you are not here to be judged (let alone unkindly)

Trust that you have entered into sacred circle and will be held as a precious newborn just waking to the light of the world.

The lights are too bright

Making you to cringe as you exit the isolating darkness.

The familiar; the uncomfortably familiar is all you have known.

You must leave behind the familiar for the safety of a new womb

A womb of warmth, love, and remembrance.

You have done your part by getting yourself here

And I will remain

Hand outstretched to steady you

If you should want.
