How much do we want to struggle?
It’s comical really
that there is a
god
creator
universal energy
whatever we may call it
that invented everything
on earth and in the heavens
in absolute flawlessness
yet we struggle so tragically
to trust that very same
god
creator

whatever we may call it
to handle the minuscule
troubles of our
meager lives—
instead remaining convinced
that somehow
we can do it better on our own. Continue reading “The Importance of Surrender”
It is through our aloneness that we are able to recharge.

“the closest thing to god on this earth is a woman’s body”
when my mother was pregnant
with her second child I was four
i pointed at her swollen belly confused at how
my mother had gotten so big in such little time
my father scooped me in his tree trunk arms and

and to have a grown man tell me something
so powerful at such a young age
changed me to see the entire universe
rested at my mother’s feet

By doing so, we are able to move through our difficult feelings rather than away from them, and ultimately, we return to a place of joy and wholeness.

Feel your feelings. All of them.
Hello, my lovelies!
