How underwhelming 😂

I don't think the bottle is big enough..

Perhaps
the knowing
of ourselves
as our own
safe harbour,
even if for
the very
first time,
is the
beginning of
healing.
From this
space,
this centre,
we finally
stand
in our
own light,
safe to be
fully
ourselves.

Selective vigilance :)

The adult protests
heavily
'But I need to put a
roof over our heads
and bread on the table!'
And the child
plays at families
lightly,
laughing at
the seriousness
of adulting.

To soak in reverie
and meander through
life in pure
wonderment.
To see our children
through their eyes
and be astonished
by all the ways
we've dulled our
lives by buying into
the weight of
adulting.

Maybe we might
release ourselves from
the spell of society.
Not to deny accountability
but to look at the world
again
with fresh eyes.
To have the curiosity
of a six year old,
asking
'Why do we do things
like this?'

Somewhere along
the line,
we morph into
grown-ups and feel
shackled by responsibility.
We yearn for
prescribed bedtimes
and someone to tell us
what to do.

I really appreciate your posts & the humanity within them & I'm sure others resonate with this too :)

It's astonishing how health, social & economic inequalities are so deeply enmeshed in perceived worthiness. For a child to feel unworthy of educating is so at odds with humanity. Thank goodness for purpose, hope, connection & possibility when we see the innate worth in every single child.

How beautiful 🌺

Hierarchy is so deeply embedded at an institutional level. How might we create connection where power & influence preside? I guess imbuing trust is about shifting from fear, blame & control to mutual respect & integrity. Keep posting, sharing + inviting new possibilities Charlie.

How magnificent. You have to hand it to the Aldi middle aisle which does 'eclectic' so well it's verging on car boot sale. Who doesn't want cut-off wellies with their weekly shop?

Just finished the poignant ending to series 2. Feel a bit sad as it went so fast, but loved it!

Your posts are pure resonance for me :)

Indeed. And 'needs' are compartmentalised into vertical areas and often handled in isolation, when there is so much interconnectivity. To listen attentively & meet people where they are opens up so much scope for connection & possibility.

This is true for us all as humans. Nobody is immune to conditioning. Nobody 'knows better' or 'has it all together'. I certainly don't.
In the words of Ram Dass, we are all simply walking each other home.

Not with a definitive timeline or an expectation.
Purely to let those feelings be met and to see we can be safe with them in a trusted space, sometimes with the support of another.

There is an opportunity to notice. The pattern plays out and yet there is also a quiet witnessing of it.
There may be discomfort in the idea of feeling the feelings that the pattern was developed to protect.
We are invited to sit with our 12yo selves and envelop them in compassion.
