Resonating Through Shared Humanity: Embracing the Deepest Shadows

Inner Sanctum

5 Feb

This is where the magic happens. Or at least the awkward self-reflection.

For those feeling trapped in vulnerability yet yearning for growth.

Dear vibrant child, there is much to this state of low energy that is beyond you and much that is within your hands. It does not feel this way, especially when that energy is suppressed through these long days. There is such a desire to expand within a constricting container. Curious child, there is much in this feeling that is proof there is more out there in this world than what is presented in this narrow context—a deep narrowness that no longer interests you and is bereft of momentum. I hold this deeply cold and vulnerable place with you, not out of pity, but out of acknowledgment that this too is part of your experience and your life. Inaction comes at a deep frustration of action that robs you of your joys. It is no place for a boyish mind like yours. I will not default you to anger, gorgeous child, as it is most likely to be directed within or at, rather than towards. This space is not your end; it is the base upon which much currently sits—the deepest and most vulnerable place, one shared with greatest difficulty. Yet, you do. Steadfast child, you are struggling; please embrace. Lean in and kiss its cheek rather than fighting to not do it. It needs your care; you need that care. Safety is not created without it. Bring allowance into this space, and you will see the light of tomorrow.

“This space is not your end; it is the base upon which much currently sits—the deepest and most vulnerable place, one shared with greatest difficulty.”
