weights, light and stuff

a friend of mine said something so cool.
he was talking about seeing something and saying how that was freeing his mind up
a bit to be lighter. he said the darkness was still there, but the weight was a little lighter.

i loved that.
i really really loved that.

cause it occurs to me that it's really the weight we get to work with.
i'm not sure how the darkness stuff works.
sometimes we go thru periods of darkness and they lighten....
but sometimes we carry darkness inside us.
and i'm not sure that ever leaves.
i don't know.

but i know how we react to it, how we carry it, when we carry it,
when we put it down or pick it up again....all that stuff seems like stuff
we can work with. and the fact that his weight got a little bit lighter
made me smile really big.

and it got a little bit lighter by his seeing stuff inside him.

i love that.

it's so helpful to see someone else with their stuff.

it was hers

“they took. they invaded. they pushed. they violated. in so many different ways. a lifetime of pushes and takings and making her feel less than valuable. sitting back, she began to see it. how it had gone on and on. and in seeing it, she began to realize - it was up to her now to shout, to whisper, to sing, to move and to believe in her value. no more taking that from her. it was hers. no more giving it away. it was hers. proudly, with strength and with knowing, she held it. she lived it. she became it.”
