I saw my words

I loved them all.

if we genuinely love
each other

.
+ then
all the COLLECTED WORDS
were there in that space.
she had brought her
ENTIRE world + identity.

everything happened
to make sense
as she found her voice
+ EXPANDED beyond
the limits of who she
had been to this
POINT IN TIME.

what needs healing
right now + how
can we do so
COLLECTIVELY.

my words to me

all the stress
of the past.

IN THE SAFETY
of the present moment.

my point of reference is
WHERE I AM now.

just as spring
had brought
all those
LOVE STORIES,
autumn was bringing
stories of melancholia.
stories of letting go.

ADMITTEDLY,
she had been attached.
maybe still was.
+ in her experience
it wasn’t pleasant.

THE MOST PROFOUND
PROCESS OF LETTING GO.

in human experience.

I wish you’d see
how I’m setting free
what lies buried in me.
.
ALLOW ME to change
+ I’ll allow you to do so.
.

for a reason.
.
don’t you
RECOGNISE YOURSELF,
when you look at me.

let me be the light
you saw
when I was born.
.
let me share the love
you’ve nourished me with.
.
KNOW,
that I love you deeply.

we’re APART.

…
+ I’m unsure of
whether we can
UNLOAD MEANING
off any given action
other than
the meaning of an action
in its purest form.
.
+ POSSIBLY
because we would be
classifying an action
as meaningless.
.
how DECADENT
to take such a
MEANINGLESS ACTION
just for the sake of it.

EVENTUALLY
she came to terms
with a different story.
.
you could’ve talked
about LONELINESS.
.
+ she felt those moments,
TOO.
.
MOSTLY THOUGH,
it was a story of
contentment with
the simplicity of life.
.
a story about
the courage to sit
WITH THE SELF.
until it had told
all its truths.
.
a story of doing
what life asked FROM her.
.
it wasn’t easy.
nor always pleasant.
BUT
nobody had said
life would be, RIGHT.
.
I can’t write about
COURAGE today.
even if I wanted to.
.
something deep about
love + connection?
SORRY HON,
not so much my jam
EITHER.

do we have to be
successful experts
/ might we know
as much with
a history of failure?

the situation
was exhausting
to say THE LEAST.
only much later
did she notice
the DEPTH
of that exhaustion.

AGE

SHE observed
as she watched
HUMANNESS
gather + interact.
…
isn’t it funny how
WE ALL PLAY
the roles
of our characters.
…
+ she tried to describe
the role assigned to her.
…
.
music: Highwomen
by The Highwomen
.
it took her ages
to allow herself
to LISTEN to
.
+ sit with
that feeling of grief.
…
+ maybe because
she felt UNENTITLED
to feel all that sadness.
…
aren’t we all valid.
NO FUCKING IDEA.
which is exactly
the point,
YOU SEE.

if things are just
PASSING THROUGH,
there is no ownership.
the same goes for
PEOPLE.
…
I don’t own my ideas,
I hold space for them
TO GROW.

apply this to all
creation processes.

I know it’s unfair.
.
SHE asked into
the dark nothingness
CALLED
insecurities of life + wasn’t
SURE,
whether she heard
an answer
/ NOT.
.
she reached out a hand.
WAS THERE to
listen + understand.
.
+ then
NOTHING.
.
ALSO:
there is no deep lesson
to this story.
I’M SORRY.
it’s just, I dare say,
how life might
AS WELL play.
