Experiences Shape Us

…Experiences either bind us or liberate us.
 
Bind us,
 
When we hold on too tight.
When fear settles and grinds our bones.
Coiled up, knotted, and constrained deep within.
When memories grow heavier than the present moment.
When old wounds resurface and recreate unwanted stories.
 
And yet,
 
The same experiences can set us free.
Liberate us.
Create free-flowing space.
When we choose the lessons.
Release the aches and echoes of pain.
When awareness replaces reaction.
Growth becomes our gentle way forward.
 
So realize,
 
Every experience carries both.
The weight and the wings.
The pause and flight.
The shadow and the gleam.
We rise the moment we decide.
With our chakras open.
 
Dare to unravel.
Reviving. Reaffirming, Reawakening.
And come alive.
 
You see, we all have limited time.
 
So, let us remember,
 
We are born to be in full swing.
On the cusp of an epochal change.
Ushering in a flowering crop.
A life for the self to revere.
 
~ and let’s be honest, no reflection of mine is truly complete without “my coffee” by my side, after all, even the grandest realizations start better with this little slice of heaven.
 
~with heart,
