It comes in waves
Waves that have become very familiar to me
So I consciously practice acceptance
Allowing myself to feel deeply
Being in flow as opposed to fear
Paying close attention to what surfaces
Knowing it will subside
Experiencing emotional release
Receiving inner knowing and intuitive wisdom
While most times I can ride the waves
There are times that they don’t feel like waves- as it is a constant
This time I was knocked down and felt as though I was drowning
Overwhelming feelings triggered by concerns for my health
Everything felt like a blur
Like I was trapped watching things unfold through my eyes
Yet unplugged or disconnected from reality
Tired of fighting an inner fight that I thought I could never win
Defeated
Yet in the midst of drowning
I see myself floating and elevating from the depths of the ocean
Powerful, healing, and transformative
I AM THE OCEAN
