I wrote this poem in 2001 after a very emotionally painful loss. I was reminded of it a few months ago when Dr Northrup spoke in our monthly telegathering about when we let go of what is no longer serving us, there is a sense of loss. Most of my life has been about loss. I lost my sense of Self. I felt lost on my path. I would lose my sense of direction and purpose. I no longer feel that way. I am living my life with purpose, love and passion and it feels great! This poem reminds me to appreciate each lesson, to look at obstacles as opportunities to heal a deeper part of Self. I am so grateful to be a part of the Team Northrup Tribe. To join with other like minded individuals that “speak my language” and be a part of a group who accept me and others unconditionally. The world needs more tribal communities like this one.

“People come in and out of our lives everyday. Some impact our lives more than others. There are those that touch us so powerfully that we will never be the same again.

We need to cherish those experiences and appreciate the lessons in our lives. Each experience is an opportunity to be human. Each lesson is a step to becoming more aware.

It is human to feel pain, fear and guilt. It is also human to feel love. It is a shame to see the walls of protection surrounding each of us. They are only shielding out the love we all deserve.

Being open to experience is being willing to feel. To feel fear, to feel pain and more importantly to feel love. Trust in the experiences of your life and you shall bathe in the love that surrounds you.”
