Out of Darkness

This post popped up on my feed. It resonated, as it spoke to the negative sound tracks that can grow from experience or mental illness or both. As I traversed my healing I had moments when my brain would lie to my heart and these could be the hardest moments to step out of and not succumb to.

In the now of journeying out of the fog and darkness, when reconciling storied relationships and words of blessing or encouragement are offered…the soundtrack kicks up based on experience.

Raising the voice

The red flag

Distrust

Dishonesty

Misinformation

Can it be trusted

Having survived the rope a does

Worn out the darkness

Let the light reassert

Can the piece of Elder wisdom take root

Displace the bitter root

With a new root of health

Nothing can be done to change the then

But can we move forward anew

In the now?
