Acceptance

Accompanied and alone.

Accepting all that happened, and all that did not, today. The tide has subsided. In this moment, I am safe. Enveloped in the warm embrace of favourite memories and their made up versions. Loved ones - past or present, earthly or symbolic, human or animal are all here. All the characters in all the stories I have read, all the little creatures I have encountered, all the little meaningful things I have in my possession dancing to life in the stillness. The sun and moon, my planetary parents and their extended family. My earthly companions. My body, my mind, my spirit and my soul. All of nature. Mother earth. My goddesses and gods. 

I'm accompanied and I'm alone. I need this quiet moment by myself to be still. Sometimes I'm building resilience and sometimes replenishing myself. To tend to my little girl who listens and witnesses everything. Filter all the good and bad, and like a good bird mama, chew the worms and only send the best most digestible form of nourishment. 

I close my eyes and breathe. 

Right in this moment

"Accepting all that happened, and all that did not, today...".
