Oh to be carried❣️ We all need those moments and connections that allow us to fall back and be held. To not have to do, to be, to plan, to fix, or to gather…..to be on the other side of just showing up while all is still maintained and afloat!
Those are the moments and connections I hold most sacred. The ones that request for me to rest and/or have joy and peace with that being the only demand of me on the agenda! I seek moments to be carried. At 25 it became a sudden unexplainable to do and at 34 I went skydiving, not because I’m by any means a risk taker, because I needed a moment to free fall and be carried. I had an experience a couple years back and a few more waiting in cue at a float spa because again I desired to be safely tucked away and carried. And last night I enjoyed immersive sound healing because how beautiful it was to be vibrationally grounded while being carried afloat under the sunset and stars and happenings of the city below us.
And I LOVED seeing the majority of attendees were black women (some we knew and surprisingly encountered) and the rest a community of collective respite. Lord knows ain’t nothing more powerful and needed as a radical act of self care as when black women claim their breath, body, and rest!🤎
One of my fellow colleagues and sister friends Christine joined and as therapists who’s day in and day out are being containers for others’ pain, energy, and life narratives ALONG with our own (because life doesn’t give out escape passes to anyone ,) I’m so glad we allowed ourselves and it ALL for this moment to be carried away❣️
