so many tears

so many tears

so much crying

so many emotions

not many thoughts

not much intellectual understanding

so much understanding at the cellular level

so many things moving

so many wounds healing

so much liberation

in the slightest shift

from one moment to the next

being able to hold myself through it all,

and allow myself to be held by Soul

is everything.

to be able to embrace the child within as a parent with some wherewithal to hold space, honor, acknowledge,

is everything.

so much solace for the child that didn’t feel seen, heard, or known

she is coming home

again and again and again

so many tears

so much crying

lighting the path to freedom, 

pure presence,

truth.
