The Persistent Dream Like Nature of the Past

A single flame holds my attention this morning.

Simple and Here

What’s simple and here for you right now?

Undigested trauma is ours to hold and care for.

There is a kind of congruence in simply being here.

The collapse of this vulnerable structure I had worked so hard to keep together didn’t happen all at once but when it happened it was catastrophic.

We don’t have to force our traumatized minds and bodies into abeyance to notice the silent background of our existence. It’s here right now.

A beautiful and intimate journey from survival to simply being here.

I have noticed that as I heal the disconnect in my own traumatized physiology I am coming more into attunement with nature.

Nervous system work is sensitive, nuanced and complex. It requires a skilled practitioner who knows how to be steady, gentle and attentive.

Our species is so cruel and rejecting of things we don’t understand.
