Today, I have nothing.
No words.
No great piece of advice.
No ideas.
And so I realize that at times, words, really are overrated.
There are times when all you can do is
feel.
Lean in to the feelings that are
have been
will be
present until they’re experienced.
And so I realize that today is a day where words just don’t make sense
where they, really, are unnecessary.
A day where the smart,
the only,
thing to do is to be.
With what is.
May it be uncomfortable
uncertain
unfair.
It is.
No reason to deny it.
No reason to not allow it.
No reason to push it back to where it came from.
Because when you allow
you learn
you flow
you grow
into the person you’ve always been.
In the end there’s really no other way than to allow.
And if words don’t come,
feelings remain.
And so you realize that feelings
no matter how you label them
are the only truth anyway.
They are your body’s way of expressing herself.
They are your guideline to a deeper experience of life.
And so, when you allow, though tears may stream down your face,
you will realize that your feelings always
always
always
come from love
are an expression of love
lean towards love.
There’s no other way.
There’s no other truth.
Sure, we can overwrite it with anger
hatred
extreme beliefs that turn into emotional outbursts
but, in reality, the way you feel
whether openly
or in silent suffering
is based on love.
You hate on your body
because you desperately want to be loved.
Want to love her.
And you believe this is the only way.
You are terrified of food
because you believe that being thin will give you love.
And you’ve been told that’s the way it is.
You binge and overeat
because you crave some love
and food is the only way for you to receive it
or so you think.
But if you go beyond the superficial
into the core of all matter
there’s love.
There’s kindness.
There’s wordlessness.
Which in turn
again
is pure
unconditional
love.
No words today.
Just feelings.
Drop into your body –
let go of the words you’ve learned to label her with and
instead of forming judgements
just
FEEL.
