Today’s Reverb15 prompt is from Julia Inglis aka Sacred Familiar:
“When we heal our spirits the ripples are felt from the highest branches to the deepest roots of our family trees.
What radical act of love or non-conformity did you embrace this year?
How did performing this alchemy affect your ancestors and what is the gold waiting to be shared with future relations?”
This is such a beautiful prompt. And it kind of hurts my heart to say I’ve got nothing for it. I can’t think of a single radical act of love or non-conformity I can claim this year. Sigh.
The beauty of course of these reminders of where we’ve failed ourselves is the invitation to try again. And so I will pay attention next year and see all the places I can practice radical love and non-conformity.
And in the meantime I will practice as Pablo Neruda admonishes.
Wonderful honest response to a challenging prompt.
I think one of the best gifts we can give ourselves with Reverb-ing (or any self-reflective process) is honesty.
Love the quote – and the image!! Yes – this was certainly a challenging prompt!
Reverb-ing is such a great experience isn’t it? I feel like every aspect of me is invited to stretch and look at things from unexpected perspectives.
So beautiful. I’m wresting with this prompt as I do not have anything for it and I feel guilty for that. 🙁 You helped me get over that feeling with this. Thank you. 😀
Ah Tracy – good for you. I think one of the most supportive things we can do for ourselves is let go of the guilt.
