We cannot be walking bodies with dying souls. We cannot be moving beings with blown-out candles. We cannot be the living dead beneath tombstones suffocating our very existence.
I call this the grave of the living and the neighbour to the dead; bodies trapped in an attachment to sanity.
Too often beings are brought to a complete silent suffering because of their dead leaves piling onto their trees so desperate for regrowth, rebirth, freedom. A freedom rooting far deeper than what society sees as being free.
This freedom is one that comes with release - releasing the attachment to an outcome and releasing the fear of being vulnerable. When quite simply, vulnerability is the only thing that truly sets us free. It is pushing forward into those unsettled waters and rocking the boat of emotion, despite how raw and sensitive it might be.
Rawness is sensitivity. Rawness is imbalance. Rawness is blunt and soulful and disturbing all at the same time. To be raw is to be real. And dead leaves mask this rawness, this realness, this vulnerability.
So let them drop, layer by layer. Let them fall. Your roots are far deeper and stronger than what you've yet explored and we are evolving creatures that need to allow and release to reach the best possible we.
There is no I, there is no mine or yours, only ours. Our time and our movement. Our strengths and our weaknesses. And weakness is strength because weakness sees parts of you you often choose not to.
Dead leaves are beliefs and thoughts that serve as ancient patterns of disbelief and misdirection within you. We must be able to distinguish between mind-processing and the very famous and destructive overthinking; the over-analysing that is disbelief in itself.
Release is fearlessly stepping into the timeless process of an on-going forward motion, into the wilderness of reverence, change and acceptance. Often with a flame beside you; the twin that guides you.
For so we learn from one another and fight for one another - one of the greatest battles of all as we nurture in ways our minds are often unable to explain.
We are alive, we are awake, we are blessed, and blessed be the grateful; heart always to be the leader, mind always to be the follower.
Shalom, and happy today, for today is the only day and tomorrow is another time.
