As we settle into a sort of trust in the universe, we find ourselves.  What is ours will always find us. We are never lost, so maybe to reference finding ourselves isn’t quite right, but sometimes we do have to remember.  We have to unveil the layers we hide inside.  We do have to let our edges soften, cut them down a little bit.  When we have those moments of being softened we feel like we are losing ourselves—I know I did. The reality is I found that I was giving up the pieces I had been wearing in order to protect myself and to be something that wasn’t fully me—it was something I wanted the world to see.  I had to let go of what I prepared for the world to see—just as I’ve talked about before, but what I had to integrate at this point was that I needed to let it go. Like, not bring it back at all, hack it all off and let it lie.  Get it out of my life and move on. If it was never meant for us in the first place then we don’t need to waste the energy trying to make it happen.

Sometimes the exposed limb feels raw and ragged—and sometimes it is, the cuts aren’t always clean.  But we learn to let them heal and with enough care they start to grow again, and grow into what they were always meant to be.  It’s like the elephant chained to the plastic chair or the cat raised with dogs—they mimic their environment and begin to think that’s who they are.  Once we remember who we are, that power is unleashed.  It can be scary to let it out at first because we aren’t used to wielding it.  But it’s amazing how easy it feels to just be.  We have to trust enough that what we hear, what we feel is divinely guided and we are meant to receive it and use it.  Allow the authenticity to wash over us and let the world become what we see it as.  An infinite possibility.
