“An honorable human relationship … in which two people have the right to use the word ‘love,’” Adrienne Rich memorably wrote, “is a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other.”

Finding room to both accept I will never have a relationship like this again (if I’m changing this will be impossible) and still I miss you (who you were - and because you are also changing - who you will be)

“Our desire for playful connection doesn’t disappear after childhood. For some people, it gets redirected to romance. Couples mimic intense childhood friendships by spending free-flowing time together, marking the relationship with symbolic tokens such as rings, and developing a miniature culture, complete with inside jokes and a shared vernacular. But celebrating adult friendships in this way is rarer—and harder.” - Rhaina Cohen

you taught me presence, but my practice cannot depend on you

my ego convinced me to pursue separateness through our specialness
to abandon my growth, the unknown, for the safety of what we built

we found freedom together
in each other but
our separate freedoms will reunite us
will sustain us
on the river of ever flowing devotion
eternal life prays
let's do this again

now, in your absence
my heart struggles to trust itself
my ego tries to identify every mistake I made
tears me apart
looking for proof we were destined to fail
destined to part

but when I feel gravity at my core
energy swiveling my matter
into yarn weaving without
within me
I see you everywhere
I see how we're moving towards each other
even as we move without

and I trust unconditional to clarify
when
let's do this again

do you sit in silence with your friends?

silence is the new rebellion

We run from love because love is truth, and to be in the presence of infinite truth is something only very few are ready for. It cuts you open energetically, it dismantles all the stories you hide behind, it rips you open until every single part of you dies that is not in service to the divine.
