We enter this world
So pure, so new
Impressionable, a slate so clean
With each connection and experience
New feelings, likes and dislikes
Boundaries, or a lack there of
They all start to form and build us
As we go through life
These feelings that show up
Anxiety, sadness, joy, anger
Excitement, resistance, calmness
They have meaning and purpose
Telling a story that once was
Creating a path for us to meet our needs
Understand them, and care for them
To not be ignored, pushed away or neglected
But to be heard and understood
Because they are important and precious
We need to slow down
Listen to the messages our feelings reveal to us
Acknowledge their significance
Learn from their wisdom
And move through the intensity
Ultimately bringing us to a space of deep healing and wholeness
Connecting to our soul
And embracing our unique true self
Suffern,
New York
