Of Feast and Famine

An internalized awakening from a chrysalis period in life. Reconciling a personal journey having resisted its own self, mirroring an intergenerational processing of similar accords simultaneously. There is truth in acknowledging how sometimes we may not want the path that is presented before us, but life will indeed find a way to guide us to where we are needed to move towards and in what ways so as to be most authentically our own self. Finding the courage and nuance to express that all that is light is not all light, just as all that is dark is not all dark either. That both ever exist in both all at the same time as all time immemorial heritages of the world once knew intimately.

Having tapped into those wells of limitless gratitude, seemingly un- leashing also all that is timelessly accessible in each, a wild woman’s embracing of all that has made me experience life as I am here to live it and share outward as I’m moved to do so. Knowing that the sacredness and permission for taking up the space that is our own life alone comes from forces far bigger than any living human. Thus, the body of this work, a closing piece as one part of a larger trilogy now fully released, ’tis an arduous poetic exploration in at long last finding beauty in everything, including the more trying of lessons, and karmas, and projections that may hurt us so very much, by way of learning the practical potentials of transmutation within. Having hard learned the importance to ever trust that which flows from within, what if at our essence we are here as souls to live alchemy and breathe it into existence for any willing to be able to witness our distinct flare for how we alone move through it? How we move through life itself.
