An anthem for lost children
I want to pause and acknowledge a very dark part of human history… a deeply vulnerable part, where so many child-souls were harmed in a world that was not in balance, where the feminine aspect within every soul was suppressed. It is a shadowed chapter that, for my soul, carries the sense of helping others awaken as a life mission. Here I share another piece of intimate vulnerability. I, too, experienced the darkness as a child: https://youtu.be/9p8heFTWgeI?is=wzS2GXvdFdfGKahd Below is a passage from my book about how I experienced childhood abuse and how I healed my inner child. Maybe it will help someone: I couldn’t look into the black mirror without it also looking back at me. I knew that — I’ve known it for years. And somewhere, between all those ancient wounds, the image of my own soul suddenly appeared: small, five years old, still carrying that open gaze that trusts the world because it has never known anything else. I saw her standing there, and I knew: this is not only collective. This is also mine. This has been living for years in my shadow, in my sexuality, in my childhood. It was the moment when hands touched my skin that should never have touched it. Hands that did not carry love, but confusion. Hands that did not know what they were breaking — or perhaps did know, and still did it anyway. For that little girl, it felt like something in her light went out, as if a crack appeared in a room that should have always been safe. And no one saw it. No one heard it. It happened in silence, and in that silence she remained behind. The rupture did not only move through her body, but through the entire family. Through generations. Some family lines carry their pain as unspoken inheritance, as walls no one ever spoke about, yet we all kept bumping into them. And so my wound became an echo in a house that had no language for this pain. The little girl carried it not because she had to be strong, but because no one knew how to see her.
