Don’t give yourself away

I want you to know that the world is going to try and push you into things. That the people all around you will tell you who you are.

Who you aren’t. Who you should be. Some of them mean well. Some of them don’t. Together, they will teach you to discern the difference.

In the end, it is you who answers to yourself in the mirror. So find out what’s true for you. Find out what makes your heart turn into butterfly wings, flapping wildly in the sun. Follow that.

Find out what makes the drum in your belly beat. Follow that.

Find out what richness is. I’ll give you a hint: money has very little to do with it. It may be so, that grass or oceans or mountains or crow feathers do. Or Greek mythology. Or paint. Or words. Or tulips or hummingbirds. It is likely that family has a lot to do with it.

Whatever it is, find it out, and follow that.

Leave room for the mystery of life to seduce you, but don’t give yourself away.

Pursue ecstasy with grace.

Embody everything that expresses your nobility.

Turn away from what diminishes you. There is no mistake in the making of you.

Let your body inform you as much as your mind does. Trust it’s knowing. It knows languages the mind cannot speak. It can have conversations with soil and drums and oceans and star shine.

Your gut knows what it’s talking about. Your intuition is true. Your dreams mean something.

Your life is for you. And you, are for 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 ..
