When the world is traumatized it can be difficult to distinguish the pain inside from the pain outside. With Chiron conjunct the North Node over the next couple of weeks, urging the healing of our deepest wounds so that we can be freed to pursue our destiny, this poem seemed appropriate. 💖

you worry yourself
with what’s out there
politics
crime
diseases
a thousand thousand reasons
for you not to hear
the voice inside
crying

it’s crying for
your attention
for your love
but in turning
your attention “out there”
you deny what’s “in here”
the whole world is inside
and it’s hurting too

you are its only healer
its only mother
the wise woman who can
speak balm
and sing truth
light incense
and chant blessings

to mend what is wounded
look first to your
own
inner
shores

while you wander the edge
picking up pearls
and shells
i urge you to free
the precious life
tangled in the nets

those passions
and traumas are not
burdens
they are lost treasure
and whale song
aching to be found~
