Grief is a Mountain

Grief is one of the biggest mountains you’ll ever have to climb. Not least, because it’s one that you absolutely won’t want to. And people may talk of ‘getting over it’. But the truth is, I don’t think we ever do. And that’s not to say that we don’t end up on the other side of the mountain. I’m not saying that we’re stuck in one place forever.  But, rather than getting over it… Perhaps we find a cave we can walk through which brings us out on the other side. It may be dark and dim and difficult, but we make it through into the light. Perhaps we find a path around the mountain that leads to the other side. It may take a long time and it might be unsteady and precarious, but we make it round. Or perhaps we just slowly edge our way past. A little up, a little through, a little round. Step by step. No, I don’t think we get over it. It is too big, too overwhelming. Too insurmountable. So instead we get through it. Round it. Or quite possibly,  we just get by. ~ Becky Hemsley 2022

Loneliness is the Doorway

Loneliness is the doorway to unspecified desire. In the bodily pain of aloneness is the first step to understanding how far we are from a real friendship, from a proper work or a long sought love.  Loneliness can be a prison, a place from which we look out at a world we cannot inhabit; loneliness can be a bodily ache and a penance, but loneliness fully inhabited also becomes the voice that asks and calls for that great, unknown someone or something else we want to call our own.  Loneliness is the very state that births the courage to continue calling, and when fully lived can undergo its own beautiful reversal, becoming in its consummation, the far horizon that answers back. In the grand scale of things, loneliness is a privilege. Human beings may have the ability to feel aloneness as no other creature can; with a power magnified by intelligence and imagination. Animals may feel alone in an instinctual way, moving naturally and affectionately toward others of their kind, but h...

When You Are Finished Falling Apart

Beautiful girl, when you are finished falling, after you hit rock bottom and watch yourself come apart into a million pieces, no one is staying to help you collect yourself, no one is sticking around to pick through your pieces to decide which parts of you are worth keeping. That’s for you to decide. So stay down for as long as you need to. This is the most important part. Take your time. Pay attention. You already broke. So the easy part is over. Go slow....I know, you thought the breaking was the most painful chapter. It wasn’t. Turn the page. The next part is much longer. It’s the healing. The rise. The comeback. It’s the birth of the new you. And it’s not easy. But you are strong and brave and worth it. You’ll have to leave a lot of yourself behind, you’ll have to let go of all the parts of you that you’ve outgrown. We’re not making ourselves small anymore. We’re not bending to fit where we don’t belong anymore. Do you hear me? We’re going all in. Count your wounds, every scar ripp...

Push Through

I probably don't give myself enough credit for overcoming the things I have. It has become so engrained in me to push through life. As a single mom, there are always things that need done and preparation for the next day.. I do my best to relax and unwind.. Turn off the constant go, go, go mode. It's not easy though. I constantly worry. I constantly feel I am not doing enough.. That there's always more to do. But I do stop and take notice how I love myself more and admire the woman I have become. There are growing pains in life that can not be avoided. There are things that happen to us outside of our control. But I choose to believe I can overcome whatever life throws at me and not to see myself as a victim. Life is hard with no easy fixes. All I can do is do my best everyday and push on through the tough ones. 

Love All Your Flaws

Love your wounds - they reveal what matters most to you, what your deepest soul longing is and what you came to heal in the collective. That is why we chose to incarnate into the families and situations we did, so that we could experience that affliction, and take it on as our own and then rise above it for All... Love your so-called flaws, they are spiritual jewels that mark our journey and reveal where we let go of the physical to embrace the spiritual fully. It connects us to the deeper soul journey ~ wisdom, maturity, depth and transcendence. We are programmed to see them as flaws, when they are an initiation into the deeper mysteries. Love your dysfunctions and the things that cause you to lose friends, successes or throw you into life lessons. They help us to find humor, liberation and our inner child and releases us from caring so much about what others think and allows us to find a deeper love of self and rise above the judgements of others. Love your pain, It teaches forgivene...

The Fucked Up Truth About Being a Twin Flame

Most people that experience the twin flame phenomena have never heard about it before it storms into their life.  Those wishing for it may want to be careful what they wish for.   It’s like discovering magic and then losing the wand.   It is your soul ripping you open, laying out every piece of you that you had hoped to never see again, and saying clean up this mess.  When you have, it rips you open again and says not good enough, do it again.   It’s love, confusion, heartbreak, and soul aching beauty to the sound of a thousand tears.   There’s a silent unimaginable connection that will convince you that you’re crazy, synchronicities that appear in such real yet unexplainable ways that you know you’re not crazy.   Unavoidable perfectly imperfect magnetic energy that will defy any logical reason you may have for not wanting to be with them. Its lust on crack, and hold the orgasm because their presence is a continual spiritual orgasm aka newly awakened k...

You’ll Never Be Happy With Just Half a Love

There was no doubt She loved him Her heart torn Between loving a man That was present for her And a man She met years ago That reminded her Of soul love He was still on her mind The heart has a hard time  Of letting go She did her best  Not to dwell on the past So she could Build a future With a man That wanted to love her And give her everything  She ever needed or wanted All she had to do Was accept His offer But the choice Wasn't that simple Her heart whispering  "You'll never be happy with just half a love"

By Midlife

  “ By midlife, we're usually aware enough to understand which of our issues most need attention. We've learned where we're strong, but also where we're weak.  We know what parts of ourselves to be proud of and what parts of ourselves should change.  We know what our issues are. It might not be a time when we're learning new things about ourselves so much as understanding more deeply what we already know. This is not the time to stop working on ourselves; it's the time when we've finally accumulated enough clues to help crack the case and solve the myself why and how we've kept ourselves bound for so long. Its not the time to give up and say, 'this is who I am, its too late to change.' Quite the opposite- its time to take a stand, once and for all, for your own potential.  Don't worry that it took you so long to get to this point. It takes everyone this long.  We know nothing until we know all the ways that we're not who we should be.  On...
