“You cannot be open to fully feel love
And all its beauty
Until you can be open to fully feel pain
In all its sorrow
In the strength of my heart
I saw the fragility of yours”

“This is the thing with any painful circumstance
We keep trying to be the person we were before it,
Denying that painful experience,
But all this does is stunt the person we are growing into.
Hurtful events always transform us in some way.
A far stronger, compassionate being is born from every blade
That cut to our heart… this is what we gain when we accept our pain.
We regenerate with a brighter inner flame
As we seek our light through the shadows.”

“Rescue your heart when you feel you need to
Choose to share it with those that value and appreciate everything you are
And everything you are not.
Hold your heart in your hands and cherish its riches.
Love in its purest form comes without judgement or conditions,
But you need to value your heart first so that others can love you there too.”

“Bullets:
There is nothing more harmful than words that cause an internal bleed,
So be gentle with hearts,
Be honest with intentions,
But also be kind with your words,
It's tempting to speak in bullets,
To get it all out,
But it takes true strength to step back,
Consider deeply what you want to say
And be guided by love to express yourself
Without damaging a heart
In a cruel, callous way”

“Truth's Virtue- Poem Excerpt:
Truth, in all her virtue,
Will be your sunrise, your sunset,
Your morning breeze and your bedtime nest,
She will want a home in your heart,
Guiding your way
As a star that pounces from the heavens,
Chasing cheating ghosts away,
She will be the fruitful soil, from which a sincere and striking beauty will spring free,
With sagely roots to ground her as the mightiest tree.”

“Phoenix Queen:
You blaze so brightly
You set fire to the heart of this world.
You conjure up enormous love in all you give,
And keep rising from the ashes as a Phoenix queen.
Some will be burned by your flame,
Try to cool you, put you out,
Make you think that your passion is something to doubt,
But the ones that truly matter will dance with your flame,
Stoke you, stroke you,
And stay lit right beside you.”

There is beauty both inside and outside of the cocoon that pushed you to grow

Dear one,
It is totally conceivable to accept something
Yet still feel unable to ever recover from it

And the stem it grows upon, still remain”

Fear, manipulation, dependency...
And decimation of any part of who you are

A higher love
Born from recalling long-lost sweethearts of your soul
Ancient hearts that feel like yours
And love like yours”

Will always have an extra special task to fulfil on this earth
And that is...

For the heart, there is always a way
Maybe not a way that you had expected or hoped for
But there is always a way.

Span outward, orbit through the sight of your heart

“Endings and Beginnings:
Wherever you may find yourself- on the edge of a sunset, on the beams of a sunrise,
Balance is knowing when to hold on, and when to let go.
What ends, be it painfully or peacefully, is just a preparation for something new;
A rebirth, the magical seeds of a fresh perspective coming forth
We are all a story of endings and beginnings; a complexion of ego and soul, love and pain, flowers and vines, fire and water, earth and air.
So don't fear what falls away.
Beyond, in unseen places from far out traces, there is something more wondrous in preparation to come your way.
Darling one,
A heartbeat, the destiny of a new beginning is far too enticing to ever fear an ending”

She asked "How can you keep shedding your past?
Your failures, your losses, and people you once loved?"
And I replied:
"Because there are some things you just cannot keep.
They have provided you with the lesson, and you have taken the growth,
So what is left to hold onto?
Keep shedding sweetheart.
Keep finding new and wonderful strengths that you never imagined you owned,
Climbing mountains you never thought you'd climb,
And mending your wounded heart for yet another time
Life is all about shedding.
So don't keep hurting the softness of your soul.
Life's most profound gifts are held in the hands of those who can learn so graciously to let go".”

Don't be afraid to try again and do-over with greater wisdom, a fresh set of eyes, and a renewed hope. Life is not a straight line of first time successes. It's the road that is paved with failure and seemingly wrong turns that provides us with character, emotional grit and inner muscle to find new perspectives. The only expiry date to your dreams, intentions or goals is the one you allow to soak into your soul.”

“Feeders (A Narc in Love):
They'll feed off your energy,
Soak up your adoration,
Seem perfect in your eyes,
As the love-bombing ignites the manipulation
They will never truly love you,
They do not love themselves,
But they'll break you down from the inside-out
And demolish your sense of self
And then when they see they cannot control you,
They'll shout, and shut the door,
As you elevate from the ashes,
Gone, is the backing down you had displayed before
Then, they'll drop you,
And from a shaky, fantastical ivory tower you'll fall,
Because they've realised,
They cannot keep you on their puppet-strings anymore”
