“My anger about this…

I was frustrated and angry.

It was blocking my access to my deeper emotions…”

Thanks for being here today. It would be difficult to overstate the importance of becoming familiar with the complexities of our feelings. It is with the practice of sitting in stillness that we can recognize the more subtle movements already occurring in our body. These stirrings are the underpinnings of our emotional experience and the foundation for how we can accommodate our emotional expressions and find wholeness. We may only be able to hear the loud voice of surface emotions, the ones most practiced at accessing, and not understand the depth to which we feel about any specific thing we are going through.

and then we get to bell hooks today, who reminds us that it is within the experience itself that lies the hurt and healing.

Appalachian Elegy 22 bell hooks sometimes falling rain carries memories of betrayal there in the woods where she was not meant to be too young she believes in her right to be free in her body free from harm believing nature a wilderness she can enter be solaced believing the power that there be sacred place that there can be atonement now she returns with no fear facing the past ready to risk knowing these woods now hold beauty and danger

that there can be atonement now she returns with no fear

Beautiful! Thank you thank you thank you bell hooks!

All In Love,

Michael
