When my second eldest daughter was a few months old, she developed colic. She would wake every night, crying for several hours, utterly inconsolable. Nothing I did helped her, not breastfeeding, holding her, rocking her, or my attempts to soothe her. Sometimes her cries pierced me so deeply I felt like giving up and leaving her alone. I felt so powerless. Though it was difficult, my daughter taught me something vital and precious. In learning to hold space for her, I learned to hold space for myself.

I long for those that can read the language written on the walls of my heart and speak the song of spirit, beyond the superficial phrases and masks so often seamlessly blended into our daily lives. To open the door to the places that no one else knows; far beyond flesh and blood to the place my spirit sleeps. Beings who have a deep resonance with spirit and heart that swims deep in my naked soul and leaves one blissful and unafraid in this state of bare surrender. Ara Photo: Tomasz Alen Kopera.
