Finding your (S)elf
Finding your (S)elf
[preface : this is not medical advice or spiritual teaching
It' just poetry.
If facing clinical depression,
consult your local doctor, shaman, priest, elf, tree or whatnot]
You have to know how to be depressed.
It is a lost art.
Not the negativity and complaining and deadness.
But the courage to dive deep,
dig deeper
and see what the red book
has to teach you.
It is the ebb and the flow of life
and allowing
the darkness to shine.
It is where all the poets,
bards
healers
and even saints
draw their inspiration.
You have to know,
when to stop,
the incessant jabber
of toxic positivity
and spiritual
materialism.
And other junk food dishes
in the new age supermarket.
See things for what they are
and let Nature
guide you Home.
You have to also know,
when to to stop.
How and when
to step out
back
into the light.
This is what separates
a shaman
from a patient.
The veil between the two
is usually very
thin.
And it is not clear
which side you are on.
This is the lost art
of navigating sorrow.
Lesson one
on the journey
to the depths of who you
ARE.
Let me know when you find
your
(s)elf.
