Mary you are an amazing mind. Your story has so much poetic beauty. The articulation of your vulnerabilities is something equally captivating and sobering.
You are speaking of your journey but also speaking for every human journey. It's like a universal self reflection that transcends individuality.
In that light, I read your words with a potency yet realized. It is invaluable medicine for anyone experiencing similar difficulty or simply seeking spiritual growth.
Like letters written back to oneself that have power to be the reason to keep going. Keep striving to find equilibrium.
Because such is life.
A balance of acceptance of past trauma and a belief and desire to discover or create a future version of ourselves where we can reflect and find value even by those gray times of past.
In this material world, we are strangers, but in consciousness, I feel as if I'm sitting there beside you. In awe of the foggy environment and of you.
Oh it feels like you took a deep dive under the photos and picked up the emotional gemstone underneath the written words. It takes great emotional intuition to grasp these fine subtleties in my post.
I feel many can relate with what I feel. Everyone has been through heartbreaks, sorrow and changes. It leaves something inside your soul you need to tackle with. It was there before the event would happen, in the end I guess it is all about our individual journey as human beings. To see what can I become with the hand given by the Universe right now, in this very moment.
I teach myself to remain in the present and stop ruminating about the past. Also I unlearn myself about idealizing people, wishing they would have been different. It is a gift I offer to myself, to learn to let someone or something go. It can bring sadness but once I recenter myself I realize that you can't park a future in an occupied place by the past especially when it is obvious that those people moved on while I remained mentally and emotionally stuck.
Nature helps me. Art, photography, writing and just remaining my creative self helps me. Wherever I go, I learn to build a house within myself, a house in which I can always find peace and calm. Currently it is under construction. I am on the right path .
Thank you for your words , they resonated with me🤗
I thought about it and I started to share a bit more of my inner world when I do book reviews, I have a Youtube channel where I try to upload the best books I have read.
I have been told that I have a very good voice for a podcast, someone suggested me I should read fairytales or long stories as some might find them very relaxing.
As when it comes to my deepest inner thoughts Hive is mostly my outlet. In the end I think of education and the power of example as the only means to inspire other people to change.
I reflect on a lot of things and often I feel I can look at things beyond the form. I am also in a continuous learning process. I feel that living life on Earth is actually such a tiny drop in an ocean. I am 32 and years passed by in a split of a second. It makes me realize how we can look at experiences in a different way if we choose to notice how time can wash away many emotions or on the contrary to keep them trapped.
I thought yesterday on one of my walks about an idea: while the Earth breathes just for a second millions of lives have already happened and passed. That powerful I see the perspective on time and space. I often think of how good it is to be detached and think that we indeed are just spiritual beings having this interesting, complicated by emotions, human experience....
