The Gathering:

"Assemble all the parts of you,

the sad , the mad, the parts you see as bad.

Bring them all into the room with you.

That young you who became withdrawn,

the part who didn't speak up,

the part of you who was afraid,

the part of you who is really silly,

the part of you who just wants to kick rocks,

the part of you who became angry at the world,

the part of you who was twisted into

what you thought the world wanted,

the cranky toddler who just wants a cookie,

the angsty teen who wants to be popular,

the insecure you who wants to find a new career,

the part of you that plays it really small,

the Joyful you who stays quiet until it's safe,

the secret part who holds your deepest desires.

Gather any other parts of yourself who

have been neglected, shushed, or simply ignored.

Invite them all to the table with you-

and sit for a while.

Feed them the love they have been longing for,

let them drink from the fountain of peace,

let them taste from the feast of joy.

Give them all the space to be seen,

heard and understood.

It is in this Gathering that will make you whole.”

This writing came pouring down through the divine

channel without warning.

I've been wanting to re-connect with my writing for some time

-I have many more books within me!

(on top of the 3 already published)

But, I've been feeling challenged as of late.

(like so many)

and my muse has been hanging in the background

waiting patiently to reappear.

Like so many times before,

I was focused on something else.

(washing the dishes and wiping down the counters)

First, the Title appears,

then a glimmer of what is coming next.

I don't try too hard to think (with my mind);

this is an event that takes place in the heart.

When the muse calls, I let go of my

my "shoulds" and sit down and

feel the words that flutter through.

Now that I've shared my process,

I invite you to create a "gathering" of your own.

Be sweet with yourself, it's not an easy task.

Take some time, journal your experience

and see what unfolds.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
