Growing up I will shed this skin And I will let the child in me Be comforted by the adult Who is now growing too Sad to see all too late You did the best you could I struggled so much to trust From out of the lack The leavings left an empty void And so many words I could not say Fell silent in my throat I learned to turn inside And not to know If it was safe to trust So that when love presented itself I doubted it My decision informed by past things I was not conscious of then Obliterating all the doubt and pain got me nowhere I had to feel this longing and this hurting And have the longing fail In order to understand How human we all are And how much we need To reach for And find the answers inside So now I feel its time To say to the child in me Here I am But here there stands an adult too Who want to lives free of that place of hurting But no longer free of you

It is in understanding both, and living in the balance of that wisdom. Because when we finally understand them, they no longer have any fear within them…and we are free ❤

Wow today I am having a powerful spiritual experience hard to articulate of both and..no walls no fear sensing a far deeper reality in which all that I am and all who are connected to me even those passed are present…so I understand its like an open field with no walls at all ☺

That’s great! The easiest way I can explain it is like this…when you get a new job you are nervous, not sure if you can do it, don’t want to make a fool of yourself etc.
Six months later you look back and see that it no longer bothers you…why? Because you’ve now experienced it, understood it…and those fears regarding it are ‘let go’, they have lost their power because that’s what understanding something does, it disarms our worries and fears and no longer bother us.
As we grow up we understand ourselves more and more until we do face those fears from childhood, and in understanding them they lose their power over us, no longer affecting us because we have disarmed them. Accepting the child and adult that we have now become. That balance is that understanding.
All wisdom is the same, understand something and it is completely accepted, no longer ‘wondering or worrying’ about it, just as we eventually do for ourselves ❤

Yes ‘no longer wondering and worrying”. When we get to grips with the experiences of our lives we get to a place of complete understanding and acceptance is a natural outgrowth of that process in my experience 🙂
