Vulnerability ~ an awkward word.
Messy, disconnected and frightening
Grounded in fears and ‘not good enough’
Struggling to fit wherever and with whomever
Vulnerability flattens, solidifies and opens if I stand still slowly,
clean up the mess, (and there is a mess around me today),
reconnect with life and loves a tiny bit at a time, and that starts with me!
Examine the real risks not the risks that the fear gremlin whispers softly to me.
Embrace vulnerability to recognize it’s value ~
to create colour and comfort
to restore balance and stability
to recognize reality in sunshine and darkness
to make a beautiful world that is deserved and enough.
“Vulnerabiity is not knowing victory or defeat, it’s understanding
the necessity of both; it’s engaging. It’s being all in.”
