This poem speaks beautifully of the power of your Intuitive Body to guide you. So often success and relief come when we find the courage to listen to our own voice, as scary as it can be to separate from the voices and opinions of those around us.
As you may know, I believe inspiration is an essential ingredient to making any sorts of changes in life. Words have always inspired me, and I wanted to share this poem with you that a friend sent to me recently. Enjoy!
Also (quick shameless plus here!) my new 4 week class, “Lighten Up With The Energies of Spring: A Breath of Fresh Air For Your Body And Soul” begins later this month. If you sign up quickly, you may still be able to get one of the spots with a complimentary full-length session with me that will amplify your results over the 4 weeks with individual recommendations and insights.
The Journey by Mary Oliver
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice-
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
“Mend my life!”
each voice cried.
But you didn’t stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do-
determined to save
the only life you could save.
