When it all feels TOO MUCH

Re-Sourcing. Womb to Womb. Heart to Heart. Face to Face. With myself. With the Earth. In order to rise again, more deeply rooted, with my aching heart, open to listen and to learn to love. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If, like me, you're feeling overwhelmed at times, it's because IT IS OVERWHELMING! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If, like me, you're feeling like it's too much at times to keep yourself open to feel everything, it's because IT IS TOO MUCH to feel everything, especially ALONE. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
My heart knows love. I want to love. I want to connect deeply, authentically, intimately. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Perhaps you can relate. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Racism, inequity, and violence hurt. Lies, manipulation and betrayal hurt.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
To feel unsafe to open my heart to love you, hurts like crazy. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
That you feel unsafe to open your heart to love me, hurts like hell.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Behind all the wounding, injustice and betrayal, I am sure the heart loves. Mine and yours. It's that simple. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Yet this world is complex and massively unfair, and wounds run so very deep. So far deeper and beyond you and me. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
But here we are, you and me. Can we say “The buck stops here”?
⁠⠀
It's so excruciatingly painful for the heart to crack open. I'm scared but I'm willing to try.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I'm doing what I can to stay present. To keep feeling. To ground my roots so deep to keep my heart opening. Sometimes I need to retreat to grieve, to tend to my sensitive and frightened one, to re-Source, and to try opening my aching heart again.⁠
⁠⠀
How are you staying vital, open and present? ⁠⠀
