Self Empathy

Tonight I let the sadness come.

I feel disconnected from my children, still there and going through the motions to feed and bathe them but distant…

And tonight I choose gentleness.

Instead of judging and condemning myself again…

For disengaging…

For self-preserving…

For closing my raw heart…

I forgive.

I walk to fill up another glass of milk and I say…

It is okay. 

You can distance yourself. 

Your heart matters too.

So I do.

And I soften.

And I am gentle…

With myself and

Even more so with my children.

I float up and just keep moving.

Allowing this space from the intensity of the ground level…

And it is okay.

I still love.

I still feel peace and presence…

I don’t want to stay here forever…

Too many years were spent floating and removed.

But for tonight

It is okay.

It is a welcomed reprieve.

An ethereal breath.

I love and forgive me tonight.

Tonight I let the sadness come.

Tonight I choose gentleness.
