Hey Jeremy,
There is a hinge rusted shut.
The first time it was closed was so long ago.
It was so important to you at the time.
I coiled myself around it so it would stay shut.
Protecting you was all I wanted to do.
Hey Ego,
I can’t even remember what this was closed for.
I see the golden twine you’ve wrapped around it.
I can see it. I feel its weight —
and the love you wrapped it in.
Can you loosen up on this one hinge? Let the coil unravel?
Let my tears oil the rusty pins and let’s open it together.
Dear Jeremy,
There seem to be a lot of needs in there.
The need to be right. The need to be correct.
These are not actually hidden —
just locked in feeling that support your obstinate tendencies.
This space needs more light, more room to play.
Dear Ego,
I appreciate your help.
Now let’s remove the door and take down the walls.
Maybe we can open up and release the need to be right,
And gain the vision and position that being wrong
Or making errors is not a reflection on us.
I am first and foremost soul an intricate part of divinity.
Allow me to experience life in less than perfect ways.
It is ok to make odd turns on this journey.
I love your intention to protect me.
