This week I have felt exhausted and all over the place. Astrologically, there is a lot happening - a new moon in Scorpio (expansion, new beginnings, stuff from the shadows being uncovered) on Saturday the 14th, Mars ending its months long retrograde today the 13th (the planet of action - "We’ll want to fight the good fight, instead of running away in a temper tantrum and hiding our emotions") and Mercury stationing direct on the 3rd (communication & technology issues begin to work themselves out and provide clarity). There are also other planetary placements like Jupiter conjunct Pluto ("A New Path"), the sun trining Neptune, and mooooorrrrre that I won't even pretend to know I understand (thank goodness for the astrologers!). So, all that to say that I'm working on a new blog but it's going to take more time.
I want to give it the diligence it deserves to be expressed. Instead of waiting to send, I felt called to share this poem I wrote back in December and shared on Instgram. Hope it resonates with you in this moment. There is hope moving forward. This is change happening. Trust yourselves and in turn, we'll be able to trust each other... one step at a time, one moment at a time.
BE HERE [2019 December 28]
Sometimes you just feel sad
And you let the sadness come to
You could run & You could hide
But that might not let you through
Through to the other side
To experience a new found bliss
For when you let the emotions surface
You experience what life truly is
👁
A rollercoaster of experiences
But all we have is presence
A rollercoaster of emotions
Feelings, aiming for the fences
But they’re there to teach us something
Something under the rock
The rock of our subconscious
What usually contains a block
A block of what we really feel
A block to our truth
But once we remove it, expose it
There’s no turning back to you
The you that you used to be
The you that was asleep
The you that drowned away their tears
In sex, food, and TV.
☮️
So now here we are
Sitting in our emotions
Moving to let energy through
To learn from the abundance
Abundance of love
Abundance of truth that is you
Abundance of life
And all that’s in between
For all we really have is now
And one day you’ll see
All that can be
& that’s where you take a bow
To celebrate you
And all that you do
And all that got you here
For we remember the pain
For we cry for weeks
so let’s release the fear
Of being seen
Of being heard
Of being who we truly are
Let’s live in love
And not in hate
And aim for that bright burning star
⭐️
So when you lean into it
The beauty of this life
Experience it for all it is
Everything can have purpose
We can be grateful for it all
But it’s up to us to drive the narrative
So love and live and inquire
For why else would we be here?
Live your life to the absolute fullest
And embrace that you get to steer.
💕
For the opposite of fear is trust
The opposite of pain is love
But in the end
We can't know one without the other.
There’s no hierarchy to the above.
⭐️
Be present
Be grateful
And speak your truth
know that the universe has your back
And the only judge is you.
Be present
Be grateful
And know who you are
For you project your reality
And you decide if you go far.
☯️
Now there’s no way to end this rant
Because there’s no such thing as the end
So we continue to be a work in progress
We continue to let this reality bend.
🌀
I see you.
I forgive you.
I love you.
Thank you.
Repeat.
