Sharing in a little poem beeeecaaaaause I was contemplating fear and the ill effects of it (fear is the mindkiller)... I wrote it about a year ago and it was inspired by the movie WALL-E (haha) and also by some conversations that I was having at that time surrounding the world... Some questions for reflection and action steps at the end!! vulnerable moment for me here. Restore What’s been created has been met with destruction Annihilate the world, the effect of seduction Desolate world, ready to be tilled anew Fertile ground, truth ready to break through Worn down body, hopeful eyes Disguised compromise led to demise Timid first steps, courage is building Fear is present, atonement is thrilling Volte-face in the interest of progress No longer depressed by the excess we possess A collective sigh of relief ready to be heard Synergy of a few spirits are changing the world Ripple effect, we get to choose Will we restore or make another excuse? The rumbling of the quiet, contending voices Flourishing souls, the earth rejoicing Step back to move forward, the caged bird is free What is to come we cannot foresee A resting place, we’re here for now We live the effects of what we allow --Georgiana POLL: After reading Restore, which statement resonates most with where you are right now? REFLECTIONS AND ACTIONS BASED ON THE POLL: 1. “Fear is present, but courage is quietly building.” Reflection: Where am I acting bravely despite still feeling afraid? Action: Name one small step you’ve taken recently that required courage-honor it instead of minimizing it. 2. “We live the effects of what we allow.” Reflection: What have I been tolerating that’s shaping my inner or outer world? Action: Identify one boundary (internal or external) you could gently but firmly reinforce this week. 3. “Step back to move forward.” Reflection: What excess (noise, expectations, roles) am I being invited to let go of? Action: Choose one intentional “step back” (less scrolling, fewer commitments, more silence).
