Loosening the Barriers Within – Postscript to “The Barrier Series”

Beach Boardwalk

see Passageway through the Barriers © 2015 Bo Mackison

https://www.thephysicaltherapyadvisor.com/2024/09/18/eaciqetu5n This is the twelfth post–a sort of post-script–in The Barrier Series, a series of posts which chronicle my healing journey. I wrote the initial series in 2013 and updated several posts in the fall of 2014.

https://www.parolacce.org/2024/09/18/qjokayxg4h I wasn’t sure if/when there would be a twelfth post. I felt I was in-the-midst after I published the eleventh post, that there was more to write. Yet as much as I worked on the twelfth post I was unable to find the right words. A wise friend suggested I wait, and if it was to be, eventually I would find the right words. This post is the result of that wait.

Loosening the Barriers, Within

go to link Yes, surely there is passage through the barriers

follow site First, a primitive observation,
in the reflection of light a glimpse,
then, a gradual realization
that the grip of self-hatred which dimmed my heart,
insistent and unrelenting, no longer served.
No matter the lesson, how old or well learned
no longer a truth, the acceptance of unworthiness,
no longer the me I had always known – living on the razor’s edge.

https://semnul.com/creative-mathematics/?p=phejtnlu4o A loosening of the grip, so gradual
for a time I stand unsteady and perplexed,
it takes time to trust in reality,
the realization that I am no longer the person I believed I was.
I am not the lies spoken; I am my truth heard.

source link I sit with unaccustomed contentment
and consider the old me, discordant
with the me uncovered, re-discovered.

https://everitte.org/es90okbl In a period of dark, a depression with such depth
I lost hope of returning to the surface.
and drifted in a turbid soup colliding with
gripping emotions, unspeakable memories, unclear thoughts.

source A gift perhaps, this dark unpredictable void,
time expanded and contracted, unaware of clock or calendar.

click here Through the murk, I glimpsed a life delicious with discovery
a life of depth, both reassuring and of concern,
the path uncertain and unknown, of course.
At last I looked through a lens, finally in focus, and recognized
the place I am, must be, need be.

https://traffordhistory.org/lookingback/kwxqap3k Endless possibility sustains the strength to see anew, to redefine beliefs
and cast away the useless, a pure and nascent purge.
Sparked by sacred conversation, seeking the Divine,
my awareness stood on trembling, newly awakened ground.

https://semnul.com/creative-mathematics/?p=mv6wsrthv7 I’m uncertain how the circumstances inter-played
but truth spoke out, in a ferocious din:

click here The less space I allow in my heart, mind and spirit
for thoughts of unworthiness and self-contempt,
for the holding of others’ blame and shame accepting them as mine,
for the belief that I did not deserve life itself,
when those thoughts compressed, new spaces opened.

for worthiness, self-love,
for the honoring of my path, my story.
Infinite space for the Divine, the holy, the mystical that
exists in me, in every person, in the whole of humankind.

https://marcosgerente.com.br/2txq6u44 And my work and mine alone? First, responsibility for myself,
the work resplendent — self-care, self-love, self-respect.
Work that acknowledges my desires, worthwhile and deserved.

when I shove the shit out and make room.

https://trevabrandonscharf.com/c5ukz88fdss There is a deep connectedness to each of us in our solitude,
connection that offers life, not simply to survive but to flourish
in the experiences of both the
everyday and the glorious — the two, indistinguishable.
