Kenai peninsula, Alaska

I now honor all parts of me
and this is a sacred act.
I now honor the parts considered
weak, vulnerable, wounded, undesirable
and this is a sacred act.

This does not mean I let parts run the show
or speak for me or steer the way for too long.
It means I am my own safe space
to exist, to live, and be inspired.

All parts have a voice on the inner council,
a seat at the table, a place by the fire.
When I open to what they have to say,
my body hears an old, familiar wisdom.
