Woven Voices - 44 Day Women's Freewrite - Day 2 - Medicine from My Shadow Realm

It was when I was deep in darkness
That the epiphanies came.
It was when the music stopped
And when everyone disappeared
There I was suspended in silence
And suddenly I realized
That I was more than
What could be seen through condescending eyes

It was also when my intuition emerged,
Creating a whirlwind of a gift, a knowing
That proved to be right again and again
In the dark, I had grown spiritually
Heaven and Earth made an exchange
Now more of my soul, more of the real me
Had come online and into this universe
Behind this veil of darkness, it slipped in.

It was from my shadow side
That all my hurt was transmuted
It was within this shade of me
That I discovered the answers
To fix and heal the brokenness

On my shadow side, I cast cares to the wind
Choosing to laugh, smile and dance in the dark
I gained self-confidence
And I quit looking for someone to come to my rescue
In my darkest hours, I remembered
Who I was and what to do
Calling back my scattered energies
I regained my composure and stood upright

I discovered as well my complexity
I was not one-sided or one dimensional

I did not exist just to one extreme
I am so much more than just one thing.

How wonderful it was to discover
That I am made
Of a variety of shades

It was in the shadow of my days
That my Spirit grew to refinement
Causing a new birth
More Serene and Supreme

As I breathe, move
Speak and Create
I am spreading the magnificence
Of how beautiful I AM.
On all of Life’s canvas and this Earth scene.

I give thanks for the medicine found in my shadow realm
That has nurtured me to an overflow
Igniting my fire within to embrace life with more passion and gusto.
Namaste.
