deepen

micropoetry

Deepen. 
It is time to deepen. 
To deepen into yourself means to be fully rooted and embodied as a human. Deepen into your roots. 
​
Do not try to be someone else’s roots. 
Deepen into your emotions. Those that you swim in. And those that are buried within your body. Welcome and embrace them. Sit with your emotions. Honor them. 
​
You may have been told that your emotions are bad. That your emotions should be silent. That your emotions should not be seen. 
​
These are lies
Lies to protect you
Lies to contain you
Lies to control you
​
Your emotions are worthy of being 
Worthy of being heard 
Worthy of being seen
Emotions are a gateway to your soul.
Emotions are guide posts for your journey.
You may feel dissonance when you begin to deepen. Ahh, that is a good thing. Quite often, dissonance shows you long held beliefs that are not in alignment with the destiny of your heart. 
Deepen within yourself. Allow your voice to expand. Do not imagine that you understand the limits of your voice. 
​
Because. You. Do. Not. 
​
The limitations upon your voice are of your own making. Let them go. 
Deepen your voice. 
You will find your heart deepens as your voice grows.
​
Right now, 
at this intersection, 
in this season,
in this space. 
​
It is time 
for you to deepen.
