The Power of Self-Love

I see the part of Self that felt shattered into tiny fragments.

I see her trying so hard to gather all those fragments

And put them back together.

She believed if she could just be whole again,

She would be loved.

All she wanted was to be loved.

In time, she learned the medicine

Was to love the shattered Self

Unconditionally.

Love allowed the truth to be revealed.

She realized that she never had been shattered.

She had simply believed in and acted out the story

Of separation.

In doing so, she had turned away from the light.

She had chosen to experience judgement to remember love.

She had chosen to experience the dark to remember light.

She has chosen, at a soul level, to experience separation

To remember being whole.

To remember being one with all that is.

She knows there was nothing to fix.

Nor was she a victim.

Like the phoenix, she rose from the ashes knowing

She is love.

She is light.

She is whole.

She is one with all that is.
