self keeping 🧹
It all comes back to the body. The stuff we carry with us in our bones. I know nothing in this world, but I can know me. All I have is my body, all I can express is the things its holding onto. The humour the grief the joy that can be found moment to moment. Like dusting and sweeping searching for the cobwebs before they become full on dust monsters tearing apart the town.
Sweeping only works if you do it consistently, daily practise, showing up over and over. The house keeping of self – the self keeping.
self keeping is
morning pages
listening to the water
moving with myself
not picking up a drink
yes to picking up the pen
over and over and over
This fact feels almost devastating to me. How could it be so simple? Yet so complicated? But only complicated because we can certainly over complicate an action that could be a few simple steps to stop us from feeling. The not wanting to explore what is in fact inside our bones.
In the swirls of grief and rage I feel about being alive I try to anchor myself to my body, my home. What does it need? And after we’ve drank all the water, what else is there to move from?
