Lately I am needing (very badly, if I do not allow myself these I barely get by):
faith in my own narrative, that it will be meaningful. and that it will be meaningful without me knowing how.
to honor my my in-between times, when I am neither well nor sick, neither certain nor lost, containing fear and grief as well as joy and love
patience with myself, my confusion and my stumbling fingers
to close my eyes and breathe like this: i am okay (inhale) this will pass (exhale)
to remember that it is not up to me to please anyone but God.
And you, what do you find yourself needing this season?
hmm more adventure!!! and they opened the park pool back up.
ReplyDeleteyour first need. oh, and second need. and fifth need. i think we are soul sisters.
ReplyDeleteand peace with my decisions, permission from myself to not always be okay, and strength to slap myself in the face once I'm not okay for too long and am just making myself worse. words, real words that aren't trying to make me feel better or convince me of anything but words that reaffirm what I already know and say what I know is what I am supposed to know. confidence that who I am is not a mistake. time. mostly peace and time.
pinkapplecore - what kind will you seek out/make?
ReplyDeletegeekspawn - yes, but we knew that, didn't we. shanti, shanti, shanti...
Toast. At the moment, I need toast practically all the time.
ReplyDeletehmmm not sure yet, but as long as it involves new experiences I should be good!
ReplyDeleteI most need to KNOW what I need, then I might be able to do something about it. I'm a bit conflicted and restless and longing right now, but not sure why or what for...
ReplyDelete(One thing I do know--as always, there's nothing like a thick tome in my hands! I always need that.)
exactly that. and i needed you to tell me. thank you!
ReplyDeleteyours and geekspawn's.
