remembering the ground
tools in and around me (and you)
Over the last several weeks I have occupied many rooms in my house of body but grounded and centered have not been among the common living spaces. Even so, a gentle wind has snuck through cracked doorways, and arrangements in my house are shifting.
I imagine many are feeling the intensity of these times, and I hope you know you are not alone. We are all riding this wave together. The more I go through this process, the more I understand I am neither alone nor can I go through this alone.
There are moments I wish I could tap out. Jump out of my skin and be anywhere else. There are moments I don’t want to hold the pain. I want to rip my heart out and hand it over, let someone else take care of her. But I can’t.
Nobody can hold your heart for you, She whispered. But they can hold your heart with you. She lays me down on the ground, heart to Earth. And I can hold your heart with you. -whispers from The Mother
What I am learning, learning, and re-learning, is that I am deeply supported by Earth and the entire Universe. The support is always there, but it is my responsibility to lean into it. To see if I can give myself a little bit more to Earth. This is not easy. Super simple, but not easy. And it’s even harder when you are in the middle of a storm. But the good news is you don’t have to be perfect—not even close. You get to be exactly as you are—a messy fucking human— and you are still so Loved and so supported!
Over the last few days, I have slowly begun to remember and return to the ground in me and Earth, and I wanted to share a little video that may serve as a reminder of the ground and support in and around us.
Deep bow of thanks to Sarah Blondin for reminding me of how deeply connected I am to Earth. Her message has been a gentle nudge into a deeper relationship with the river of nourishment over these last few weeks.
