To you, with the big feelings
the tender heart
the sensitive soul

A not-so-secret secret - maybe you know it too
~ our feelings are expressions of energy
a releasing
making space for fresh energy
an upgrade
an expansion

Grief
Fear
Anger
Shame
these ones are ready for compost
so you can relax and let them
soften
drift open
expand into their natural wave form
We can Honor these emotions
and bless them
and maybe dance with them

It takes trust to soften in this way
a trust that most of us don't know
haven't been schooled in
yet worthy of an experiment
what happens if you play with
relaxing and releasing?
play with enjoying your feelings
your experience, no matter what it is?

(wow, what a thing to suggest to someone
in the middle of a cancer journey
or the loss of a child
or experiencing violence)

I don't know the answer there
but I do know that relaxing with
and around
our emotions
allows them to flow in their natural form
coming and going as a wave
you are bigger than the wave
you are the droplet
and the ocean
the particle
and the wave

When Grief, Fear, Anger, and Shame release,
new space opens for Love, Enjoyment, Peace
without pressure, without trying
This too comes and goes as a wave
Evolving energy moves us in the direction of expansion, of love, of trust.

With love for the play, the practice, the experiment,
Marta
