Curious Unfolding of Soul Wisdom
I don’t know where I’m going, and sometimes I don’t even know where I’ve been. Life is strange in that way. It’s a mysterious mingling of memory and experience, and then returning to places we thought we left behind.
We return so that we can see our stories through the depth of FEELING. This is how we gather the gifts and leave the rest behind. These treasures are talisman as we travel new roads and new spirals of experience. We know this transformation when these stories no longer feel like chains around our necks, but instead serve to bolster our flight forward.
I’m still learning to remove my own chains, but they feel much lighter now. I notice them with awareness now. I ask myself what old stories I’m still clinging to, and each time my grip loosens just a little more.
I trust in my BEcoming and the guidance that will always be provided. My heart is my most worthy guide, an emerald beacon that shows me when I have stepped off course. It reveals beauty in each moment when I move slow enough to listen.
Rushing ambition no longer holds the same value, although the world tells me it should be so. My soul is simple in its complex truths, much like Nature in her essence. She cannot be rushed in her soulful wisdom, although many times I try.
So much love and beauty we miss by trying so hard. Slow and steady wins the race, Turtle medicine teaching me to be at home in my own skin.
I peel back the layers and masks that no longer feel like integrity to me to see what is revealed. Newness. Truth. Curious unfolding of Soul wisdom. A nurturing mother’s presence teaching me how to heal and how to allow the bandages of the past to fly free. A slightly scarred but new skin is revealed, soul skin with markers of my journey, and a hard-won adventure of discovery.
A trip of a lifetime with more than a few detours. Necessary crossroads that took me where I needed to go. A roadmap of the seasons of life, love, healing, and transformation.
ALL to bring me to this moment of self-redemption. I was running from things that were never chasing me. I simply needed to stop running and embrace them. Radical acceptance of all that I am, and all that has been. Healing powers revealed. And so it is.
