Thank you for being a part of this community, and for the love you give yourself.
Your self-love is what holds the world up, you matter.
Author Haruki Murakami suggests that rather than asking, What am I seeking? Ask yourself, Who would I be if I weren’t seeking anything?
Your desires are your playground, they are what makes life meaningful.
They are, however, not what makes you who you are.
Close your eyes and feel into you right now.
The fact that you simply exist… that’s what makes you amazing.
Thank you for being here.
Love you,
Savitree
P.S. - This Thanksgiving table of nourishment, of strengths, and of resources, is created by our community, in response to the prompt: How are you an anchor to others?
Being calm
I listen, I absorb, I reflect
Through compassionate listening, seeking to understand
Listening as deep and fully as i can with an open heart
I help others be kind to themselves
I help people feel safe to be themselves.
I give them space
I am calm, strong, and supportive
Sharing myself freely and my own doubts and fears strengths and wisdom,
I allow them to fly by staying on the ground waiting for their return
I help others find their inner compass
Showing up and being there
Providing basics, food and shelter
When I can, reflecting their own words of wisdom
Sharing what I’ve learned, whatever has brought me healing and joy
I am a safe and secure landing spot
Giving and receiving- massage, teaching,
I hold down the truth, okay to be candid, rude, gut-honest.
I provide a mirror so that they can see the good in themselves
Sharing my calm reliable voice smile food playfulness humor kindness my own joy laughter getting them outside love compliment honesty
