Surviving Grief

Published November 2, 2022 by tindertender

Living with a Broken Heart

Remember what the Tin Man said in the “Wizard of Oz” after he finally got a heart….

“Now I know I’ve got a heart because it’s breaking.”

If someone you love died, your heart is probably broken. So how do you live with a broken heart?

The answer isn’t how you fix it or move beyond it. The skill is learning to live with your grief as an ongoing way of being in the world. It’s the way you honor that which you love.

What I’m proposing is that, with enough healing, living with heartbreak can become natural, and very normal.

From my personal and professional experience, I can tell you that as you embark on your healing journey, you’ll start crying a whole lot more. Not just to clear pain, but for the simplest of everyday reasons, and out of nowhere. You’ll cry when you see a bird, a can of paint, an apple, or even the shape of a cloud.

Random things will make you cry.

The heart is designed to grieve, it wants to grieve…..it has to grieve!

Especially when it’s broken.

This is the price you pay for love. The loss of the life you thought you had, the life you once knew and held so dear. Loss of a dream you believed was true.

But you can also find and feel grief in opening your heart.

Opening it to love and to new possibilities. Opening it to what the future holds.

Isn’t that what life is all about? Endings and beginnings, closings and openings? The heart was designed to navigate you through this forever winding adventure called life. But you have to be willing to feel…..and to live with a broken heart.

Here’s the thing…..you can learn to live with your broken heart by befriending your grief.

You can discover the love that still exists around you…..and share that love with others who are also living with a broken heart.

Dark Night of the Soul?

Published October 30, 2022 by tindertender

Must accept 100% responsibility.

Life constantly reflects back to us what we put into the world.

Meditate. Stop complaining. Take action. Double your goal. Think bigger.

Waiting until there’s no fear? It doesn’t work like that. Feel the fear, take action anyway.

That’s called courage.

Courage to:

Acknowledge mistakes

Lower pride, don’t make yourself more important than others, make them equally important.

Fear cannot be suppressed or denied. It must be embraced. Our society has become “feeling avoidant”. Go to the center of the energy and really feel into it, breathe the breath of life into it.

Gain emotional competence.

Go to the center of the most intense portion of the energy.

“Not useful” emotions create a cloud around us. It’s only a projection of “what might happen” into the future.

Having fear of the future potential calamity holds back the possibility of “more”.

Empathy

A compassionate feeling and caring for another human being.

Whatever you want … give it first.

The One: A Quick Reminder of Where We Are

Published October 28, 2022 by tindertender

Hello again! In an unexpected message, I’ve been asked to release this generally and everywhere within the next several days. Today was the first opportunity to do so. This conversation took place on the 20th of October. I will get right to it below and ask you to share wherever like-minded souls wander.

I was not given specifics.

Please know that from One’s perspective, as compared to ours, “time” is quite a different thing. Use discernment and trust what resonates.

Thank you for being here. We are the Ones we’ve been waiting for.

Many blessings and much love.

Namaste’

It is the One.

Events transpire for you on your planet right now, that will alter the course of your life. These are hidden from your eyes, as they must be, in order to assure that they can be completed.

They are not all captures. Some of these are rescues. What is being retrieved is not just people. What is being retrieved is also property. Property of the people. This has been stolen and hidden and kept by those who held the power here.

There are many things to which you will now have access. These will alter the course of your life.

Things like free access to energy and highly advanced medical technology are only a start. Methods for food preparation are available that will guarantee an end to hunger. There are advances in virtually every aspect of society. These will astound the senses and uplift as well as simplify your existence. Much has been kept from you, dear human.

You’ve been raised and bred to be work animals for a non-human species. This is the awful truth of it. Once you accept it as truth, everything that you’ve suffered through makes sense.

Religion was a tool used to instill in the population a reason for “suffering”. Many teach the fact that you are born with sin as part of your soul. You are marked before you are able to hold a conscious thought, and this contributes to the way you have accepted the conditions of your slavery. You are taught, very early on, that you are not worthy.

This life has been a stimulus to a remembering. You are here to remember your truth and to realize your core. You are the most brilliant of lights, favored in all of Creation.

You’ve chosen to be here, and your presence is a gift to Gaia as well as a much-needed boost for the race. The bravest, the strongest, the most brilliant; these words tell the truth of you.

You are about to complete this magnificent mission. You all feel it. There is a sense of peace and acceptance now for your role. It is that moment before stepping out onto the stage, when you take a deep breath, and center yourself.

It’s showtime, dear human, it’s showtime.

That is all.

Thank you.

Four Women

And the original:

My skin is black
My arms are long
My hair is woolly
My back is strong
Strong enough to take the pain
Inflicted again and again
What do they call me?
My name is Aunt Sarah
My name is Aunt Sarah, Aunt Sarah

My skin is yellow
My hair is long
Between two worlds
I do belong
My father was rich and white
He forced my mother late one night
What do they call me?
My name is Saffronia
My name is Saffronia

My skin is tan
My hair is fine
My hips invite you
My mouth like wine
Whose little girl am I?
Anyone who has money to buy
What do they call me?
My name is Sweet Thing
My name is Sweet Thing

My skin is brown
My manner is tough
I’ll kill the first mother I see
My life has been rough
I’m awfully bitter these days
‘Cause my parents were slaves
What do they call me?
My name is Peaches

Let.Them.Go

Why do you make yourself available every so often to remind them you’re done with their crap?

Why go there at all with your time, attention and intention?

Leave them be. Walk away and stay gone. That’s the best affirmation of “I’m-done-ness”.

When Sleeping Women Wake

“When sleeping women wake, mountains will move.” ~ Chinese Proverb

Last night while I lay sleeping, I had a dream. (written 2017)

The world was in a state of total chaos and all that we had ever known was ending. Everything was volatile, violence raged openly and the people were suffering greatly. There was sadness around every corner and destruction flooded the air thick and unrelenting.

It was a time of darkness the likes of which none had ever beheld, a power taking over our world and squeezing the very light and love from its once lively core.

Yet even in this bleak time, hope was shining like a beacon on the horizon.

I saw women gathering in a house together, sisters from all walks of life and of all ages. Into the shattered air that stung of gloom they sung a song of universal love.

There in that place they created sacred space, a sanctuary against the coming storm. They wrote symbols of ancient wisdom on the walls, chanting incantations of protection and love for all the children of the Earth while their fingers clasped candles burning bright.

Drawing power from the natural world and summoning the mystery that flowed in their veins, they sat in circle drumming with the beat of their hearts petitioning for the madness to end. Their voices cried out for freedom, for joy and for all beings on this planet to live as one.

And then the dark night swallowed the vision, and it was gone.

Dawn broke through the silence and the world drew a great inhale.

The birds sang with the rising Sun and the green Earth stirred roots below and branches above. Animals took to the open with curiosity. The house of sisterhood I thought was swallowed by the darkness stood still, standing tall in spite of the raging dark storm that threatened to engulf it.

I could see the place where the women had gathered, the remnants of their workings for the world left behind, drums and feathers marking their sacred rite. The words “blessed be” were etched upon the walls, surrounded by sacred symbols of a time long passed. Peace had returned to the world and the air felt fresh and new.

The double-edged sword of the feminine had been held aloft, wielding fiery protection and nurturing love in great measure, and had withstood the tempest and rose from the ashes victorious.

The once buried power of the Goddess had returned during the time of the world’s greatest darkness. She had always slumbered within our spirits, a burning ember awaiting in the shadows, and now she had risen once more.

The wild and wise women of the world had awoken. By reclaiming the ancient mystery that flowed in their veins, the sisterhood of the feminine had broken the chains of bondage that once held the world prisoner and opened the gate for the return of the Goddess.

The time had come for the medicine of the fierce feminine to flow freely throughout the land.

Somewhere on the distant horizon, I saw a gathering of sisters, a circle of wise women from all walks of life.

And they smiled.

My Sisters, the time has come to rise and awaken the priestess thread within. As we arise and reclaim our truths and our voices, so we awaken and transform our whole world.

The Priestess is the element of alchemy that dwells within our soul. She is the powerful thread within that taps us into the energy to transform our world and bring out truth into being.
