LET IT TAKE YOU.

You will think you’re there.

You will be convinced that there can be no more deep pain to come.

That you’ve been to the lowest, scariest, saddest you could ever experience.

That there is no more you need endure or discover.

And yet you find yourself deep in it again.

Tearing you apart.

The pain.

The anguish.

The confusion.

You’ll tell yourself you can’t take this.

Yet here you are, in the middle of it ‘taking it’.

Even with the inner struggle. The squirming fight to find some relief.

You are surviving what you believed you couldn’t.

Life will keep bringing what is to break you apart.   

To open the heart further.

To humble you to your knees.

Yet following each contraction, you recognise that you survived.

You come out clearer, perhaps wiser. Seeing deeper into what you thought you already knew.

So next time there’s fear. Next time there’s sadness. Pain. Illness. Grief.

Let us recognise that it does pass. It does. It always does.

LET IT take you.

Give up TO IT.

No matter how long it takes.

Drop the need for a timeframe.

Drop the fight. Completely.

And trust.

I love you.
