Let the winds take from you what they will.

Slough it off. Slough it all off; all that which no longer serves you.

Slough it off to the barest of bones and hunker down until ready to bloom again.

Be you in all of your bareness and let the next set of adornments come your way when ready.

This holding the wound inside of me isn’t meant to hide the wound, to not talk about the hurt that is still there since Teresa passed but is meant to hold it in a space within where it is held in love and safety. I’m grateful that Teresa chose to spend 20 year of her life with me. Shifting from regret to gratitude is part of the inner healing that needs to happen in order for the outer growth to be more perceptible.
