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.

    I like this. It's something I need to remind myself of often.

  2. Yes bending and flowing with the storm is key...is allows us to weather the storm doesn't it? Otherwise, like you said, we would break.
