Do I trust what I see? Do I trust myself?
Am I perfect? Am I disabled or mislabeled?
VULNERABILITY/ STRENGTH
poem by Valerie Burton
STRONG
Resilience is better than strength
Vulnerability is the portal to liberation and enlightenment
STOP and notice the fear in the body. STOP and PAUSE
Notes on vulnerability and resiliency as metaphor:
FLAGS of Dragon scales- Armour style
Habits of denying vulnerability-
(Physical)
TUMBLING is my way out and through
Pressing Down, push under- DE pression
Grabbing/ Pushing away
ENTANGLED/PANIC- huge web of fear, very emotional, tantrum
(Emotional)
Anger and Blame
Depression or pressing down
The armored Dragon
Be ground, be crumbling
Under the armor
Vulnerability is in the mouth- speech, words, vocal expression
KEYS to loosening the Armour-
attend and befriend- Gentle, curious and forgiving attention
REST/PAUSE/ in LOVE
