how we think
the beliefs we create
from our experiences
become a complex overlay
of our consciously
and unconsciously
held trauma
unwinding the patterns
both somatically and emotionally
integrating our gained wisdom
aligned with our spiritual nature
is our liberation
Ruth Roberts
In starting from somewhere
be it
weighted failure
breaking until we collapse
seemingly unbearable defeat
we surrender to rest
breathing in to let go
giving space for a moment’s reprieve
and then we rise
lifting our eyes
we reach
turning
extending
our kinaesthetic sensing
met by
meeting
ground
knowing life
as it shapes and
moulds us
our hope
sculpted from the inside
like a marble’s artist
with intuitive wisdom
exposing its innate shape
being made ready
for the next passage
encountering
what feels to be
an unending valley
maybe a mountain
to unimaginable to climb
yet in reaching its peak
a multifold glory
a basking in the warmth
of all that is
before
being thrust back
into chaos’ storm
challenged yet again
to shake off that binds us
unravelling our mind’s restrictions
in the mystery of this unwinding
we discover a pristine lake
in the middle
of everywhere and nowhere
diving in
our body and soul
tingles with aliveness
a moment of being
a sacred cleansing
We Rise
Ruth Roberts
Simple
it happens every time
I change
subtle
transition
from who I was
an awakening
a quiet pause
in this moment
a breath
resting
into
the stability of essence
Ruth Roberts
I am Not
all that I can be
and yet I am
complete
choosing to
engage
explore
gather
evolve
wholeness
beckoning
a persistent
gentle tug
leading me to
fall back
remember
holding its fullness
attuning through essence
settling
I begin anew
Ruth Roberts
my heart’s desire
embodied
silence
chaos
knowing
emotion
remembering
instinct
in being
student
teacher
spirit
a work in progress
Ruth Roberts
