Menses.
Shedding. Letting
possibilities go and making space for new ones. Literally, and of course, metaphorically.
What is no longer
possible.
It’s not possible anymore to spread my energy thin.
It’s no longer possible to say yes to things when my body
says NO.
It’s not possible to deny what lies beneath the surface. (because the physical body will start to scream)
It’s not possible to deny what lies beneath the surface. (because the physical body will start to scream)
It’s not possible to put my career, my health, and my
self-care second.
It’s no longer possible to hide.
It’s no longer possible to hide.
It’s not possible to pretend that I don’t feel deeply and
that art-making isn’t central to my well-being.
It’s not possible to believe that this isn’t my path, that this
isn’t viable, that this isn’t lucrative.
It’s just not possible…
And I’m willing to
let these things die to make space for new possibilities.
It is possible to respond with impossibilities of your own…
little deaths that might be occurring.
It is possible to purchase drawings from this blog. (email me when you see one you like: j@jessicaserran.com)
It is possible to honour my cycles. To rest when the body says rest. To listen when the body says eat
chocolate. To stop drinking coffee
in the middle of the cup because you know it’s over – at least for that
day.
It is possible to say No to things that feel unhealthy, to
catch them as they are coming in and to protect myself.
It is possible to watch the seeds we plant spread, to water
them and to trust.
It is possible to thrive. To create what we want. To be in integrity and take mindful, sweet care of our
energy.
It’s also possible to sink deeper into trust, which means
honouring the uncertainty and loosening our control of the reins – even just a
wee bit.
It is possible to send this out and to feel safe.
It’s also possible to hold this all lovingly, to know that
the unconscious gets prickly when new things come into consciousness and to
give it another task so that it doesn’t feel completely out-of-a-job.
It’s possible to remember that change takes time, that
awareness-es often come fast and hard and that integration is an ongoing
process.
It’s possible.
Prelude to this idea here: I think I understand the twinkling Christmas lights.
