The Truth About the Masculine

The Truth About the Masculine.jpg

I poured so much energy and focus into developing my Feminine ✨

I fell in love with her

And I pulled others into that vortex of flow and raw energy and power

And I spent a lot of time trying to exclusively feel good

To be in my pleasure

In a sense I was also in my purpose
But I wasn’t very directed
Or clear on the path forward

And I fought against structure
The kind that I wanted to escape from when I left corporate

And it took me a while, but I realized I had mistaken that type of structure for the Masculine

And I mistrusted it
Thinking it also meant all work and no play
And so I rebelled against my Masculine
Swinging back into pleasure
And denial of pain and purpose and the courage to walk my path

 
Yet in spite of the rapturous detours
I slowly continued to do my work

Discovering and then deepening in practices of surrender and unhooking and presence

Which empowered me to become more and more aware of and commingled with my mission and my path in Life

Little by little
Trusting it
Trusting what I was building

Trusting myself

And then one day I became aware of the most outrageous thought

And with a surprised, out-loud chuckle
I just had to own it

~I’m very much in my Masculine!~

My Divine Masculine

The part of me that is devoted to my Life’s purpose

That creates and holds boundaries so that I have time and space to connect and create in this world

The part that persists in holding the vision and committing and re-committing to walking my path
Even though this most likely means
I’ll stir up emotions and thoughts and memories I’d rather not experience again

My Masculine is what holds my Feminine in the pain
In the disappointment
In the frustration
In the fear
In the hopelessness

In whatever is being stirred up as I walk into the New

And ensures that I’m not overtaken by those internal barriers
That could otherwise surely take me off the trail for months or years

And in that Masculine holding
Something empowering and new and vital can come through 

And I can live a full Life in the midst of it all

This part of me that is focused and holds in awareness everything that wants to be born through me,

Enables it all to be born

This beautiful, divine structure

That let’s my Divine Feminine (creativity and pleasure and love) flow  ☯️✨🌊🌳🔥
