#weeklyrelections

This. 

I filled a little jar 

with 50 little pieces 

of brain food 

Harvested from my heart 

to help me endure 

each work week.

This is week 1.

First concept is such a truth for me.

Every person I encounter 

Every situation 

Is a medicinal dose

Prescribed to crack me open

To burst my seems

To unleash my highest 

To deliver my dreams 

Especially the uncomfortable moments

The irritating moments 

Where one is vulnerable, exposed

Uncertain.

Wanting to close up, run away, escape.

I experienced a lot of those this week.

Facing unpredictability

Groundlessness

Breathing helped me 

Take in the moment's medicine.

Opening up, again and again.

Living life's lessons. 

Follow along each week to see what kinds of brain food I'm consuming in the attempt to keep it together by, sometimes, letting it fall apart.
