The Sun does always rise.
It’s hard to realize that in the midst of a dark night of the soul.
But the sun does rise.
Even if you cannot feel its warmth, it’s there.
Even if you cannot connect to its light, it’s there.
If you are that immersed in a dark night, shadow work, deep retreat and experiencing all the lonely and lost feeling things that come along with that sacred journey…
DO NOT BYPASS the discomfort. Spend the time to feel it and notice what it is you’re feeling, feeling like, and let yourself be seen by you.
Ask to be held close by the ones with the right medicine and staying power in your life and keep going.
Pray for warmth and life to rise in its perfect timing. Store the ounces of light that do become clear along the way because those are going to turn into a fire in your bones.
Only if you stay WITH it, with yourself. Avoidance is poison. Overconsumption of things that dull the heart, the consciousness and the truth of what is necessary is poison.
You are worth your own staying power.
Where are you avoiding that extra 5 minutes of attention?
Where are you not speaking the hard things that need to be acknowledged?
What is longing for warmth the most?
Will you stay with yourself in loving awareness while gathering the seeds of light?
Those seeds of light mean so much in the dark and shadow. Rest deep in between all those moments.
