There is a sacred power when we declare our truth. For me, that moment came on a vast hike in Utah. Before I ventured out, I paused and closed my eyes, and I followed my exhale to drop into my innermost self. When I landed deep within, a word was revealed to me, “unbridled”. I wrote it out and taped it to my heart. As I moved along the path of highs and lows, of a terrain that changed over and over again, I noted others pointing to my word across my heart, looking me in the eyes, and then saying it aloud to me. Each time, it was a beautiful tap into my heart…unbridled, unbridled, unbridled.
Once my journey on the trail completed, I stood with a canvas and paint. An embodied and visceral expression stirred inside of me. In a dance with the canvas, where I let the paint stretch off the edges of it, a sense of freedom and expansion unearthed.
This piece, titled “Unbridled. Stretching the Edges of My Availability. I Am Limitless.” is a declaration of embracing me and all that I am. It is a rhythm of me, where I allow the messiness of what it is to be human move outward, and shine forward with uniqueness.
I invite you to sit for a moment. Close your eyes and follow the exhale down into the depth of you. What word reveals itself to you? Perhaps tape it to your heart, or imagine doing so. And then take a walk, and see what happens. What unearths for you? Please share your word here.
