The journey to wholeness
meant accepting the challenge
to stand
alone with God at times,
the only safe place being
the silent space within
a heart disconnected
from its very source
and in process of repair.
It meant pushing on
and digging deeper,
no matter how crazy the challenges
became.
It took every last bit
of energy to choose
to align with love
again and again —
letting go of attachments
to the dark
where there had been trauma.
It meant the rising up
and coming together
of healed parts
no longer needing to fight
against or prove dominance over
each other.
It meant reaching in
and following the parts
what were most whole —
holding space for all that remained
unhealed.
