Dancing in the exploration

On liminal spaces, becoming and claiming what is for my soul

Dear friends,

I haven’t been writing as much lately, which is not to say I haven’t been learning and unlearning and growing.

So much growth happens in the in-betweens, in the dark, in the invisible. Below ground, in rich soil, unrecognizable to the outside mind.

Here is where I am landing these days -

My mind / body / spirit

〰️ my soul 〰️

are not in agreement with __________________ (fill in the blank)

anymore,

and it is also ok that I can’t define the new agreement yet.

It is ok, that I do not know yet what the new thing is.

It is beautiful to sit in the exploration.

To dance in liminal spaces 〰️ as a friend recently phrased it.

The gap,

the cocoon,

the cracking crust.

The world I live in does not care for the liminal. It cares for the defined.

Numbers, outcomes, measurable things.

Define who you are, what you do, what you want.

Narrow in,

hone in,

niche yourself.

The world I live in does not hold space for all the rainbow that is us.

How sad and black and white and greige.

I for one do not wan’t to be defined, by myself or others. To be limited to an endgoal.

Instead I am,

forever becoming.

I’m calling in that which is for my soul.

〰️ mother 〰️ maker 〰️ mystic

Spaceholder.

Circle keeper.

Guide.

The point of life - is the journey itself.

That doesn’t make me an imposter.

That doesn’t make me a fraud.

The masculine ways of the world want me to know everything first.

My soul is not in agreement with that anymore.

After all,

I’m living it.

I’m doing the work. Everyday.

Beware of the ones that claim they have all the answers,

the ones that have it all figured out.

What part of the story are they not telling?

The masculine ways of the world want me to create value.

Always, more value.

My soul is not in agreement with that anymore.

After all,

I am not here to provide value,

but to create the space,

the circle,

for you to dig up,

to unearth,

your own value.

“It is more important to be directionally correct

than absolutely correct”
