Birthing

🍃
Foraged New Zealand Piha earth and Italian red earth

We’re birthing a new world, we’re birthing ourselves,

If you’ve been pushing,
And rushing,
And striving in the old,
You’ve just experienced death
Of the good ol’ days,
Of innocence,
the grief for our neighbours
so close to home.
The reckoning with our mortality,
And that this moment is all we’re ever truly guaranteed.

It’s time to pause dear one,
It’s time to process and grieve.
It’s time to integrate what’s happening
Do not shun your humanity,
And leave your body through bypassing and empty platitudes of positivity.
You are here, you’re made of potency.
What’s been suppressed must come to the surface and be faced with courageous
Love.
