A Poem - Consciously Falling Apart

Part of a 10-day free mini-series, this is the final day of 'Consciously Falling Apart.' The series uses storytellings to guide us into consciously (and tenderly) falling apart during these times. The state of the external world is used as a reflection towards our inner universe and helps you learn the tools and practices that will rebuild your life from your own sacred wisdom and more foundational wellbeing.

"Practice quiet. Find a meeting place between heart and stillness..."

Transcript

Gentle you go now.

Gentle you grow now.

Nurse the wounded places but make them not the comfort for even healing can become a vice.

Practice quiet.

Find a meeting place between heart and stillness where one speaks in lulling tongues and the other attends in loving presence.

Bring all your willingness to the journey ahead.

Leave nothing that matters but take so little that your pilgrimage always feels light.

Cry in the language that all others mourn.

Help them to their feet from where you yourself have fallen.

Calm the fear that causes the scarcity,

That causes the theft,

That causes the abandonment of all possibility and know the words you speak now breathe life into lungs long after yours have been left.

Hide seeds in your hair,

Damp earth in your pockets and light within your heart so you never forget the ability you have to feed yourself.

Create a cleft,

A deep chasm from where you are now and from whom you no longer want to be.

Make it so you can never go back,

Burning the bridges and brushing the sand behind you and find shelter first.

Beside the water that flows downstream towards your passion,

No thirst will befall upon you when you drink from the well that your own hands had to bore.

There's light ahead.

Go steady now,

Go quiet and make mendings along the way,

Create hurt into tools and wisdoms into amulets that you offer to others,

Never lesser for the giving but enriched by it.

Weary will become the woman who seeks relentlessly to find her way home,

But engendered is the one who knows she never left and just needed some time to consciously fall apart.

Reviews

So beautiful... I wanted it to go for longer! Thank you.

Consciously falling apart; taking the time to deconstruct, to become aware of the bigger place outside ourselves and to connect to that place once again. These “seeds in my hair” will bloom long after I’m gone and that’s a good thing. Sez, you give so much of yourself for us all. I’ll return often 🙏

Wow! What a beautiful seed of life this poem is. Thank you 🥰

You have a way of speaking my truth in ways and with words that I can't access within myself. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
