https://everitte.org/paf9708h 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.

see 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.

https://technocretetrading.com/r9mskgo90 I continue to walk on the journey of healing, the road remains, both the same and different. I gratefully share with you Loosening the Barriers Within, The Postscript.

Loosening the Barriers, Within

https://www.modulocapital.com.br/suzrpm78n Yes, surely there is passage through the barriers

https://trevabrandonscharf.com/72ncmst2b5 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://marcosgerente.com.br/h3ds4j140s 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.

https://luisfernandocastro.com/2z1eo49yb1 I sit with unaccustomed contentment
and consider the old me, discordant
with the me uncovered, re-discovered.

https://boxfanexpo.com/1y6xdtv 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.

https://traffordhistory.org/lookingback/vrpvabd 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://ragadamed.com.br/2024/09/18/oip6npge 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.

enter 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.

go here Infinite space for my truths,
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://luisfernandocastro.com/wfacckq2c 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.

https://technocretetrading.com/0ax7cv5vgg How much easier to welcome and acknowledge the Divine in me
when I shove the shit out and make room.

https://www.thoughtleaderlife.com/8mit0g57mpz 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.
