I’m coming more into myself.
And paradoxically it’s taking effort –
To undo all the ways in which I have suppressed myself.
To allow for the work of building valuable relationships.
To show up in support of those around me.
To discipline myself in daily practices that nourish and sustain.
To refrain from unhelpful habits that numb, destroy body or soul, erode community.
To acknowledge and heal difficult emotions.
It is both effort and rest.
