For a dear friend who asked me what I learned after a long recovery from anorexia
and for all of us —
I found that,
without a doubt,
who I am
is more than
this human body
and mind.
I know this,
not because I studied
with enlightened beings,
even though I did.
I know this because
I lived it.
That is the power
and tender treasure
in this human journey,
especially those
that involve
deep healing.
I found this human
being to be a part
of me
with many parts
of its own,
some that are beautiful
and easy to love
and some that are
more difficult.
I found my greatest
healing in holding,
honoring and letting go.
I found this was a natural
process.
I found the core
of who I am
is Love.
I found this Love
naturally reveals
just enough information
in each moment.
I found my symptoms
and outer triggers
to be, in fact,
pieces of information
along this sacred journey.
I came to see
this life
wasn’t just about
healing symptoms
and reaching goals.
It was about the journey
itself.
And I began to remember
just how sacred
life is.
I began to see
myself as connected
to all of it.
I found I was
connected in each moment
to a higher self
and to the whole.
There was no need
to search outside
of me
for that connection.
There was no need
to try so hard
to manifest much.
Whispers of
pure spirit,
nature,
and the connection
found in a handful
of deep friendships
were more satisfying
than anything else.
I found joy
in being in a creative,
sacred space
with others
and my Self —
that silent space
of Love.

I like the “fear of rejection”bit. I would add that it is a way of grieving something, a loss, something that was denied or held back, grieving the rejection of a need that was so essential that the denial of it shifted the world a little bit.
I also liked the poem, like summing up the sacred journey. I think it is also a little bit about shifting the focus from outside-in to inside-out. To stop searching and start realizing. ❤

Wow. Look what I took on… all that ego and denial. Wow. It was so far from who I am. So interesting to look back. I think all are doing this in a way. Wow. I appreciate your sharing always.

Beautiful. Sincere.
Do you still practice affirmations? Do they help you?

I never really practiced affirmations. I love all positive thoughts. But honestly, healing came from a kind of different place for me…From a place that didn’t need affirmation. ❤
