The end of a year

December 31, 2010 By Alana

…and what a year it has been.

Reverb10. December 31.

Core story. What central story is at the core of you, and how do you share it with the world? (Bonus: Consider your reflections from this month. Look through them to discover a thread you may not have noticed until today.) (from Molly O’Neill)


Digging deeper – always

Growing

More love – there can never be enough love

Letting go then

hanging on

Finding trust

Finding my feet

Again and again

Finding my way

Another detour

and another

until I learn there is no such thing


Spiraling into myself

ever deeper

finding truth

finding trust

finding power

finding gentleness

Learning yes

then no


Sharing more than many want to hear

Sharing myself

Holding space

Holding hands

Seeking

Growing

Digging deeper

Holding hands

Holding space

Learning to love

Myself.

*****

Thank you to Cali, Kaileen and Gwen for being the driving force behind Reverb10. Thank you to all the prompt authors for making me look ever deeper. Mostly, thank you to those who witness what I write. Your presence here is a gift I treasure.

I wish you a year of excellent health, great happiness and big-dreams-come-true.

with love and gratitude,

Alana

    Alana,

    You are a gift. Beyond what you can measure.

    Here’s to 2011 and trusting that souls find their ways to each other. You are a reminder of that for me in 2010.

    Love you,
    Somer

    It is your writing that is a privilege, not our presence. Happy New Year to you, and may you continue to create beauty.

    Would that we could always bear witness to our own process with as much honesty and integrity as you do!
    Happy New year, blessed new beginnings. The page is clean and new…

    And thank you to you for “Sharing more than many want to hear” because this space is for you, and only incidentally for us. You share so much beauty here, especially in the words that are hard to hear (read), because these words are your soul.

    Cheers to you and a beautiful year of healing and growing and learning and sharing for you, my dear.

    Love & Light!
