Shine

And if we are to shine

May we shine as the stars do

Which glow brightly in the darkness

And illuminate the beauty of all that surrounds them

And if we are to heal

May we heal as the forests do

Which regenerate following the harshest of fires

And the coldest of winters

And if we are to grow

May we grow as the plants do

Slowly with stability

Directed toward the light

And if we are to let go

May we let go as the trees do

Shedding and releasing what is old

In order to make the way for the new

And if we are to move forward

May we flow freely as the rivers do

Which surrender to their paths gently without resistance

And if we are to transform

May we transform as the moon does

Which continues to shine in all of its phases

Knowing that it is no less beautiful

When it isn’t perfect or whole

And if we are to live

May we live as those before us did

Bravely, boldly, passionately and purposefully

And may we never lose touch with the dreams that lie dormant within us

Waiting to be expressed and shared with the world.

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
