She Will Not Be Quiet: A (mostly daily, mostly unedited) writing practice

Jotting from my journal. Day #227 of (mostly unedited, mostly daily) writing/sharing.

Note: (I will now be posting MY (MOSTLY) DAILY WRITING on weekdays only, rather than 7 days/week

Message from A Thursday Morning

Let the waves come,
let the waves go, 

feel them inside
your body, 

until your insides settle 
like the sweetest lullaby. 

Sweetheart, it has never 
been out there—

it is tucked inside 
your own sweet heart. 

Please, turn toward
yourself. Stay with, hold, 

mother that scared one back 
to health. Everything 

you are reaching for is right there 
in the feelings you don’t want to feel. 

You don’t need anyone’s 
permission but your own, I promise. 

But, don’t listen to me, 
listen to yourself.

This is the finger pointing to the moon, 
the moon is on the inside of you, 

inside the feelings 
you don’t want to feel.
