    For the stressed and depleted women who do too much

    Nov 8 You are tired.

    So, so tired.

    But you don't know if you can stop.

    You are afraid to stop.

    You are afraid that, if you stop, the threads of your world,

    And the worlds around you,

    The threads you work so hard to keep together,

    Will come apart very quickly.

    You bear the compression,

    Of the world inside of you,

    Of the world around you,

    And of the worlds before you.

    The compression,

    Bottled and pushed down inside,

    Is leaking out.

    Pain

    Illness

    Dissatisfaction

    Restlessness

    Discontent

    Overwhelm

    Anxiety

    Exhaustion

    Un-thriving

    Your body, mind, and soul craves
    Sweetness,

    Softness,
    Nurture,

    Nourishment,

    Flow.

    But you are too busy to hear

    Your own wisdom.

    You are too busy

    Being somebody else

    And many somebodies

    That you have forgotten

    Yourself.

    So, come home now,

    Dear one.

    You are not inadequate.

    You are not broken.

    You are whole and complete,

    Just as you already are.

    Do not let the world tell you

    Otherwise.

    So, come home now,
    Dear one.

    Replenish yourself with sweetness, and

    Dissolve your

    Pain,

    Anger,

    Sadness,

    Loss.

    Come home now,

    Dear one.

    Come on home

    To Yourself.
