The wound in you will cry out
Listen well and do not turn away
From the difficult task
Of loving yourself
Even in the most broken and scary of places
For when you face your inner division
Your broken parts can realign
When you were younger
You had no one to help you face all of this
And feel it through
So so much got buried
Into the shadow
As a child
You also became
A container
For a long maternal line of suffering
Be patient with yourself now
As you find ways to acknowledge the truth
And heal
Listen well to your body
Because your soul lives deep inside of it
Do not listen to that garbage about this body
Being only a shell
When in fact it is the most intricate and amazing
Of creations
And when in the midst of the deepest pain
You hear your soul calling to you from the earth
Seek the places it feels fed
There are rivers and oceans
Mountains and open fields that long for you
There are stars and shells and birds and flowers
Who mirror joy and love back to you
Gaze upon this place of heavenly wonder
Cherish it
Allow yourself to feel
What ever you do
Do not let your body’s wisdom be ignored
And do not turn your sight or love away
From the wound which is
Your deepest place
Of healing
Emerging From The Dark Night
