…This time is different

The pain is deep and familiar

This time is different

The stories can finally be told

This time is different

The secrets are unlocking from the soil, the stones, the streams

This time is different

The hidden arts held for safe keeping

This time is different

They’re all emerging through our cells and our breath

This time is different…

I made it through

The dark, dark months

The relentless stripping

Of all that suited no more

I turned an undeniable corner…

A vision arrives

In a what-the-f*ck moment

Sitting, chatting girlfriends

“What is going on?” we ask.

Relationships struggling all around us

Puzzled with recent turmoil

In relationships long-standing

Suddenly afronting

Hidden truths revealed

No longer deniable

shadows emerging…

An open energy loop is something that began but didn’t properly finish. Think of it as an invisible force or energy that’s taking up space in your life simply by it not being completed or finished. 

But while open energy loops are unseen, they are not un-felt. We feel them every day.

I've made a new friend this year called, “Grief.” To my new friend named “grief.” We had crossed paths at different points before but never spent a prolonged time together getting to know each other. Then 2019 happened. And while this process of grieving has been brutal at times, it’s been filled with grace the WHOLE time.

I hopped off the swing awhile after feeling fully tousled head-to-toe and revived with fresh air, as if the breeze was tickling me relentlessly the whole time. Ahhhh. Refreshed. Alive. In love with this gorgeous moment. 

Play is the way back home, my friends. The more I let myself play, the more ME I feel like out in the world.
