A Breakdown for a Breakthrough

For my beautiful friend, Sile.
Thank you for your friendship and inspiration. 
Living the Dream!


The potential
for a breakdown
is just
 as strong 
as 
the potential
for a breakthrough. 

In that fog of flow,
you will lose your way, 
yet 
it is only in getting lost,
do you find
the treasure that you really sought. 

Become a space-holder
for you. 
For the internal 
matters
as much
as the
external
that breaks you. 

And 
I hope you see
that your vulnerability 
is your strength. 

And like a tree,
you can bend and flow with the storm,
rather than 
staying rigid and breaking.

Even when
no-one sees the storms that you weather,
let them see
the vulnerability,
that opens you up 
to the depth of growth. 

For life was not meant to be this superficial loneliness.

Take it to the Limit!


Breathless 
to the limit

Just go,
you can always fly back
to me. 

I have never left you
and,
I could never leave you.

Ever.

Fly.

There are so many miles 
to travel.
 Are you counting?

Go explore
the heights and depths,
and sacred spaces. 

Anima and animus
are calling
for balance.

For love.

A New Language


Move in a way
that opens you.

Sit.
Walk. 
Run. 

Feel the lost parts
of you
speak their own language,

of 
sadness,
of
being forgotten,
of
feeling lonely in your own skin.

Move
through it all
to your light,

at the end
of the tunnel. 

And 
when you wonder
how on earth you made it this far,
and
never gave up, 

remember,
you moved through it all, 
like a child
willing to feel their pain,
and 
letting it all go 
for the next best thing. 

Learn the language that your body speaks.
