This image came to me in a dream a few weeks ago…I actually saw it as a tumor in my throat and when (in the dream) I had a scan done to see what it was, it showed up on the screen like this!
A big tumor full of unspoken words.
Even in my dream I knew I had to do something creative with the image and that the message was one to heed. I think many of us hold back our thoughts and feeling and have done so, for much of our lives. We may not want to hurt someone’s feelings or we may fear the consequences of expressing our feelings. I find there’s sometimes a fine line between 'emanating my own truth' and blasting with a fire hose! Finding the right words, the caring words, and still honouring my truth can be tricky!
A few days ago I heard this quote here, which of course was just what I needed to hear…”whatever you’re afraid you’re going to lose by telling your own truth in this moment, you’ve already lost”. If we’re afraid to speak to someone for fear they may take their business, their love, their job, their friendship away, then we didn’t actually have that person’s caring and respect to begin with.
Lack of self love is absolutely the greatest lack.
I haven’t done much digital work for ages so it was quite fun to play around with it and I’ve never before had the experience of telling myself in a dream that I had to create something...while I was still in the middle of dreaming it!
Thanks for coming by dear friends and I’d be interested to know if you have any words that need to be spoken, yelled, coughed up or written out!
Happy Friday blessings to you,
(as I was reading this over I realized that it's no surprise that I have a sore throat! The answers are always there if we're prepared to be open and listen.)
