Layers

A spark of possibility

Exciting wonderment

What lies ahead?

Another layer reveals itself

Beneath the surface

Sadness for what was

What could have been

New beginnings illuminate the shadow

Fear, an armouring, folding in

A call to courage

To remain open hearted

Vulnerable, honest

Like a child

Before the heartbreak of trauma

Authenticity requires trust

Trust is an honour bestowed

Not granted without enquiry

Consistent, generous acts of love

No strings, no ulterior motives

True love feels safe

Like a warm embrace

No benefit of the doubt

For where there is doubt

There is a reason

No one is entitled to hear our stories

Trust is a gift of the heart

A sacred invitation

To meet in the soft vulnerable place

To show up in all our shades

To share our healing

Holding space for each other

As we journey through the layers of our pain

Surrendering to the flow

Allowing another to witness our shadow

These are the qualities of a true love story

Worthy of our precious hearts

To run and hide

Is to deny ourselves

The nurturing of love

Isolation, distraction, shame

Punishment for our hurt

Love is the antidote

Peel back the layers

Uncover the tender spots

Bathe them in forgiveness

Compassion

Release what no longer serves us…

Holds us back from stepping into the glory of who we are

Our divine essence

Receive the invitation

To open

To surrender

To allow

To trust

Step into the heart space

Risk it all and show up fully

Our gifts are beautiful, unique offerings

Share them fearlessly

No one loves quite like we do

Let us start with ourselves.
