Self-doubt and self-recrimination exist in direct proportion
to the volume of unacknowledged unaccepted unwitnessed
emotions and experiences we hold, imprisoned, within us.
As we learn to greet the day and welcome with mindfulness
a few thoughts and feelings that rise up into our awareness,
and be with them, without thinking, feeling them ,
we begin learning to identify each as "THAT is a feeling"
or "THAT is a thought".
We begin to be inclusive of our entirety.
We begin to whittle down the backlog of
stuffed and discomfited and stored tough stuff
we knew not what to do with.
We begin to compost it all down,
transforming it from the distress we turn away from,
to that which we lovingly pull close, toward our essential self.
