“As I awaken to the limits
of my physical body, vulnerability is seen in a new way. Will I deny it or will
I embrace it, will I introduce fear or will I remember love.”
Walking the path of
vulnerability is not an easy task for any of us. We all struggle in varying
degrees with the willingness to accept and love ourselves unconditionally.
Whether it's in regards to our physical, emotional or mental body we sometimes
refuse to recognize our breaking points. Instead we try and control, hold on to
pride and toughen up.
When we deny our
vulnerability we deny our sensitivity.
We are shutting out a part of life to escape the pain of our physical
existence. Perhaps the pain we are avoiding is the very thing we really
crave. Perhaps pain is the elixir that our inner alchemist brews for our
redemption. Perhaps, “pain is
knowledge not yet understood.”
Life holds many
experiences that we sometimes don’t expect. It pushes us in ways that makes us
hold on for fear of what will happen if we let go. It challenges us to choose
and molds us in ways it wants us to grow.
Like the tides of an ocean life is not predictable but it is constant,
for it never ceases. With that we must learn to be like a raft on the oceans
water, allowing the waters to take us where we are meant to travel.
Admitting our
vulnerabilities is not a reflection of weakness but an expression of
courage. And with courage we stand
in the light that we are imperfect in formation while being simultaneously perfect in potential. Through embracing who we are and leaving judgment to the side we can allow compassion to find its way in, for ourselves and others.
Namaste
