Deep within the soul of our being
The seed of our authentic identity
In the darkness of our soil
It takes time
To develop roots
The deep roots required for a solid foundation of being
Well connected to Pachamama and the Primordial Source of Creation
It takes patience to sit in the darkness
To nurture the inner being
Slowly developing over weeks, months, longer
So tempting to rush
To want new shoots before deep roots
Tempting to just use some parts of our old identity to fill in the uncomfortable blanks
To think we know who we are, before our new authenticity is fully formed
To constrain the new seed in the old tight pot
To announce the change when it isn’t fully developed
Nurture your seed self
Water with tears of joy
Kindle with self-belief
