intentional fine line artistry
life lately and i couldn’t be more grateful
it’s has been a full year of death to all the versions of me who aren’t coming with me into this next chapter
the versions of me who’ve never known a life completely on my own
i’ve always been a daughter, a young momma, a girlfriend, a wife
never just…..me
it’s been a full year of exploring what that version of me looks like
and how to bring her to life
if i said it wasn’t fucking terrifying, i’d be lying
the grief of letting go of all i’ve ever known has literally brought me to my knees
soul shattering, primal release of locked away pain and fear
and i understand now that not everyone is here to do this type of work
to meet every piece of themselves and welcome them without running
to meet these painful moments and let them move through you
some are here to simply be a catalyst to this work
and as awful as some can be..what a brave path to take as well (if you understand, you understand)
all this to say….while the funeral isn’t over yet…i am still grateful for the time i’ve had to experience it all
to strip it all away and let it die to make room for the inevitable rebirth
i’m not sure what the next chapter looks like yet but i’m excited to let it unfold
thank you for sticking around for my journey
you give me reason to show up and to share what’s alive for me
i feel like there’s a storyteller in me waiting to break free
for her abuelo and her children…a true full circle of life 🫶🏼

i am devastated
upon pulling out of my drive this morning i could see the crows gathered around something down the road a bit
when i got closer my heart shattered 💔
it was our beloved owl
the mystery we heard cry in the woods for some time now
living here alone the last few months…she made me so feel safe
her loud screeching cries are said to ward off threats and proclaim the territory
one night i believe she came so close to the house to cry, alerting the dogs….i woke up to them in full attack/protection mode
something had to be close enough to the house and she wanted their help to keep it away
i got to see some amazing glimpses of her, take a few blurry shots and she even left me two feathers to remind me how protected and watched over i was
i haven’t spoke much about my journey this year but this owl saw me through the hardest parts…
the sleepless nights…the bone deep grief i have processed
her cries were rhythmic, primal….soothing
constantly leading me back to my own power…my own voice
she reminded me of how connected we are to all of this and how momma (the loving energy of consciousness we come from) is always here
guiding, protecting, nurturing
and now she is once again asking me to let go
let go and turn within….
turn back into the earth….surrender and trust
this life we’re in now is meant to be lived in the embody presence we’ve been given
to honor the sacred and to live in right relation to the land and its inhabitants
may her essence live as that reminder…to me and for anyone who resonates
blessed be sweet friend
🖤🦉
It’s magic how it all moves with the body….
