The Essence of You

True power comes from within, it is our essence. It is not about power over, which you can find a more thorough description of in my previous blog on coercive control. 

As I sit in my lounge writing this blog, the birds sing their song outside my window, my morning delight. It is an expression of their nature. 

I hear the sharp feint note of a car as it passes by, expressing its nature. 

What is most natural, organic to us, is often hidden in the conditioning and socialisation of our life. It is quiet, whispering in moments through nudges, urges to move towards or away from something or someone. It does not announce itself, is without fanfare and yet it is what is most true about us. 

It is not found outside of us. 

And there is within each of us, a natural urge to move towards it. One that does not adhere to logic, or rational ways. IN fact, it disrupts the ideas we have erected in our wounded state, shaking them loose. 

A woman once said a wise thing, "What if I don't know what I am avoiding?" 

It is what we know which most often gets in the way of our evolution. 
And yet, there is a knowing within you. 

Breathe.

One step,
one choice, 
one day at a time.
There are no wrong or right choices, bad or good, simply the ones that lead you home. 

​Love always, all-ways
