To Keep Coming Back
Great appointment with Tracie. I read my poem to her. That felt scary and maybe it still does. But she got it and she got me. She is an artist, dancer, and so much more that has to do with art. A coming back to myself.
Now I must move forward. And I have to ask myself if I am going to make space for my true self, for the art. There is a strong tendency in me to want to dedicate all of my time to work. I get so easily obsessed, so easily sent into panic when things go wrong, when plans do not work out the way that I want.
In meditation you have to keep coming back to the breath. Similarly, I have to keep coming back to the calm and balance. And I have to keep trying to really see situations for what they truly are and not through my lens of my trauma.
