THE EDGE YOU CARRY WITH YOU

What is this beguiling reluctance to be happy?

This quickness in turning away the moment you might arrive?

The felt sense, that a moment's unguarded joy might after all, just kill you?

You know so very well the edge of darkness you have always carried with you.

You know so very well, your childhood legacy: that particular, inherited sense of hurt, given to you so freely by the world you entered.

And you know too well by now the body's hesitation at the invitation to undo everything others seemed to want to make you learn.

But your edge of darkness has always made its own definition secretly as an edge of light

and the door you closed might, by its very nature be one just waiting to be leant against and opened.

And happiness might just be a single step away, on the other side of that next unhelpful and undeserving thought.

Your way home, understood now, not as an achievement, but as a giving up, a blessed undoing, an arrival in the body and a full rest in the give and take of the breath.

This living breathing body always waiting to greet you at the door, always no matter the long years you've been away, still wanting you to come home.

-- David Whyte, from Still Possible

You know, with all the insufficient amount of soulcollage I do, I should make a card for the part of my brain that just spits up story bits.

Like, what AM I supposed to do with:

"I admit that God in heaven is everybody's God. But I am a nobleman, sir. My thrice great grandfather came to this shore with William the Conqueror. That a nobleman should bow to the same prophets - yes, I say prophets - as some savage from the inaptly named Holy Land is preposterous. Let lesser men awe at myths and superstitions from Jerusalem and Mecca. I will stoop for nothing but the witnessed truth. My God is the one God and His Prince is my Prince: Mikheil of Colchis whose miracles I have witnessed with my own eyes."

:/ Sacrifices to the gods of Ink and Pixel, I guess. I don't even have an image in my head of who's giving the speech. My brain is instantly supplying that Mikheil is a vampire posing as an angel, though, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Like, I can guess my mind is trying to slap together Orphites from my long abandoned Camael and the Stranger and the idea of Henri of Avignon, the second coming, from Harry Turtledove's In High Places. But that doesn't help much either. Why you do, brain? What you want?

On my desk today my recent #soulcollage card. It’s exiting how my daily musing with the collages cards are a response to actual emotions and needs, but through old images from my archive, also connected to my biography. 😉🤔 #biographicalcollage #autobiography #collage #therapeuticcollage #soulcollagecard ✂️ (presso Piombino, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClMl-8mKZ0t/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My DNA results came in. Just as I suspected, my great great grandfather was a monarch butterfly. Much of who I am is still wriggling under a stone. I am part larva, but part hummingbird too. There is dinosaur tar in my bone marrow. My golden hair sprang out of a meadow in Palestine. Genghis Khan is my fourth cousin, but I didn't get his dimples. My loins are loaded with banyan seeds from Sri Lanka, but I descended from Ravanna, not Ram. My uncle is a mastodon. There are traces of white people in my saliva. 3.7 billion years ago I swirled in hydrogen dust, dreaming of a planet overgrown with lingams and yonis. More recently, say 60,000 B.C. I walked on hairy paws across a land bridge joining Sweden to Botswana. I am the bastard of the sun and moon. I can no longer hide my heritage of raindrops and cougar scat. My mud was molded with your grandmother's tears. I was the brother who marched you to the sea and sold you. I was the merchant from Savannah and the cargo of blackness. I was the chain. Admit it, you have wings, vast and crystal, like mine, like mine. You have sweat, dark and salty, like mine, like mine. You have secrets silently singing in your blood, like mine, like mine. Don't pretend that earth is not one family. Don't pretend we never hung from the same branch. Don't pretend we do not ripen on each other's breath. Don't pretend we didn't come here to forgive. ~ Poem "Ancestry" by Fred LaMotte

Using SoulCollage quite a bit lately to help with self-reflection. It’s amazing how deeply collage can mirror one’s inner experience for oneself.

𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐈, 𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐈 𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐙𝐈𝐎 𝐀𝐋𝐋'𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐌𝐀

E' tempo di dare più spazio

all'anima

più agio

più respiro

scostare la mente che vuole capire

definire

catalogare

classificare

teorizzare

giudicare

non sei stanca?

Come bucaneve che finalmente

spunta

dopo accurata gestazione

non è tempo

di accomodarsi nella luce?

Nel tepore che torna

coma primavera

che si fa pian piano

germogliare

come viene

senza sapere

solo

accogliendo

quel che sei

senza la fatica

di voler essere altro

migliore

più capace

più competente

più pronta

più matura

più saggia

più serena

più forte

più stabile

non sei stanca?

Lascia che l'anima ti faccia

che ti intrighi nei suoi fili

come pettirosso

che mai si stanca

di becchettare

anche nell’inverno rigido

la vita inizia da dentro

e mai sei abbandonata.

I love when I don't read all the directions and accidentally make something better than I would have made if I had read all the directions.

This time I believe it has resulted in my first Council member Soul Collage Card.

The instructions were for making a "bodyguard" and I pretty much made my own Threshold Guardian. And then I got to the part about her power and drive being rooted in fear and realized how much yellow I had put in. Can't see it well but the last thing I did was add a yellow power ring and yeah, that's about right.

Kaeli keeps me safe but sometimes it's really about saying, hey, you don't have to protect so hardcore here right now.

Today on my #soulcollagecard card an ambiguous little Hamster 🐹 is staring back at me. Who are you? What are your strengths? Your weaknesses? What do you need from me? How do you concern my life in this moment? I am grateful that #soulcollage is such a deep and helpful practice to cope with everyday life. 🙃🃏💙🎨🎶 (presso Piombino, Tuscany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgbbrMAKmkG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
