stehst du,
leuchtend, scheinend,
gebettet in weißer Watte,
friedvoll, stetig,
wachend und wandernd.
Im Schmerz, in der Trauer, Angst, Wut, Freude da zu sein, mit dem Herzen zu sehen und der Seele zu hören.
Verbunden und frei. Allein und zu zweit. Heilsam vereint.
A sakura in blossom
whispers pink and white,
soft, fine, and gentle
- Rising
Its roots stretch deep
into Mother Earth,
solid, strong, and sturdy
- Staying
A friend reminded me today of the sentence:
"you cannot shame yourself into improvement".
All very true, and something I needed to hear. So lucky to have other humans sharing wise words and making my life better, irl and on Tumblr.
If you have a goal to change this year, be sure to build your plan on a foundation of self-love, not self-criticism. You are worthy just as you are. If you hope to change, remember that each little step on that path is a tiny gift honoring your own sense of self-worth. Move forward in the name of care, not condemnation.
