My wounding will arise

I’m not available for “healthy partnership”
Unless we redefine what this means

Unless we co-create a partnership in which its health has nothing to do with what wounding arises
And everything to do with how we hold this

Image may contain: 1 person, beard and closeupI will attach
My wounding will arise
My anxious tendencies will be expressed
Or perhaps my avoidant ones

Your wounding will arise in response
Or perhaps it will be the initiator
Reactivity will be invited
These energies will not be denied

The health of our dance has nothing to do with these inevitabilities
With what energies cannot help but play out
With one another
Or with another

Our “healthy dance” is completely unique to you and I
However we define it
Whatever co-creation wishes to unfold

In this moment, the “proposal” that is inspired from me
Is that we welcome all of this
The fire, the fear, the passion, the love, in all its infinite forms

Breathing it in
Inviting it all
Intentionally, consciously, compassionately
Allowing it to destroy us
And return us home to ourselves

Erecting boundaries of love
That invite us into deeper connection
With ourselves
With one another
With the entity that is you and I

Limitless expansion
Into the great unknown
Of who we will be revealed to be

A “healthy partnership”
In which self-love reigns supreme
Through the inclusion of other in Self
And an embracing of all that unfolds.
