Unfamiliar
This is the ongoing journal of my personal awakening. Through up to date and un-edited realness, I hope to help you walk through your own awakening with more balance, love and ease.
Tension
lights up the nerve
in my right leg.
The pain is back again.
Sleepless nights too,
waking up
every few hours.
My body
crying out to me.
Even on pain-free nights,
there is some part of me
deep inside
trying to get my attention.
Screaming.
I don’t know this part of me
as well as some of the others.
I am unfamiliar with her.
I’m aware that on some level
I have been unaware —
cut off from her.
Disconnected.
Is this what my body
is trying to tell me?
To listen?
To reconnect
to the little one inside.
She is alone,
afraid,
frozen in terror.
I have not been present to her,
and I realize that.
I am here now,
ready to sit,
to listen.
No matter how long it takes
for her to be ready.
To share,
to let me in,
to be in this together.
