We live in a world – at a time – when ‘truth’ has become fluid. No longer easily identifiable as a touchstone to remind us or a guide-stone to show us the way, we wander in the desert of contradictions, fabrications and outright deceptions. Without sense of any destination, we are left with the deeply-uprooted consequences of our daily struggle to find our way through. In the midst of that struggle comes a voice… a constant, steady and present voice… that reminds us that in owning it all and allowing our own deeper truth to emerge, we can and will find our way Home.
=======================
“I know the trigger for what I identify as wounding, so shields up is a familiar go-to. And that means isolate and hide; there are so many ways to run that strategy and tell myself that I am not. When it comes to behaviour and outcomes, rationalization through reason becomes a familiar and well worn cloak of avoidance, so I won’t have to let myself know. Way down inside, I hear some critic shouting, ‘No way! Do not let your guard down to feel that vulnerable again. You should know better, don’t ya know! NOT safe!’ How many times do I have to tell you?! So, the desire to BE and feel seen continues to go unfulfilled… and, yet, honouring that truth as a need is essential to feeling whole, unique and essential to my world.” (Sheila Winter Wallace)
