There is no emergency. No reason to leave yourself. No reason to stop being kind to yourself. Everything is an opportunity for greater kindness and greater rest. There is no urgency. No reason to be uprooted.
Everything in your conditioning screams otherwise. But it’s an old nightmare. A trauma loop. A place for pause if pause is possible.
There’s no need for panic. No need for rush or haste. It’s okay to let the whole world pass you by. To let the day come, go and wash away on your shore.
This isn’t about getting it ‘right’. Or being a really good person. Or saying the exact right thing.This is about letting what’s here be here, what’s showing up in you, no matter how ugly, how sacrilege, how unbearable.
It’s okay to let the whole world pass you by. To let the day come, go and wash away on your shore.
Giving yourself the gift of non-judgement, kindness, acceptance and belonging if only to yourself. If only to this moment. If only to this pain, this pain that keeps showing up. Calling, aching, longing to be welcomed. This pain will break you open.
Being able to rest in the midst of all circumstances is a gift, is the point, is a birthright. Not a mistake. Not abhorrent. But absolutely right. Absolutely needed. Absolutely it.
