Love letter to the last years:
the highs were high
& the lows were low
I found peace on the other side
of letting go
I built walls and broke through them
I closed my heart and opened it again
laughed when I thought I couldn’t anymore
braided my hair
leaned on loved ones and friends
checked in
tuned out
picked up the phone more often
tried to hold myself softly and curiously, without judgement
but I failed often
learnt the nuances of connection
and found what I loved most in others
was also a reflection of myself
so too were the fears
I found peace in nature
went for long long long walks with doggies
hung out the washing
made cacao over and over again
filled the coolant in my car
read books from my childhood
spent more hours in the ocean than ever
worked
kept going
got quiet
created less, felt less,
the numbness took over
the ceiling became my friend
but I wrote
wrote
wrote
with my favourite pen
still hopeful
and perhaps a little naive
but I’ll always choose to see the beauty in life
and the good in those around me with my pure heart
Sting once said... If you love someone you set them free.
True love IS FREEDOM.
Every other thing is conditioned FEAR.
So I did.
