Who is holding your weight?
For a ritual, we were asked to create a labyrinth with different 'stations'. We would walk this labyrinth and visit the different stations. Each of us created a station. I created the following:
'Who is holding your weight?'
A question I asked myself and the other participants.
I see a colourful flower. I see, smell and feel earth. Dark earth.
The earth is holding the flower. Feeds the flower. Gives all so it can grow, blossom and share its beauty. And when the time is there, when the flower dies, the earth will take the flower in again. The flower will become earth.
It is born inside the earth, it comes from the earth and in time becomes earth.again.
The cycle of life.
Is this an awakening for me towards being mortal? Towards growing up and realizing one's mortality?
And at the same time, one's immortality. The flower becomes earth and lives on in a different form.
Is this an awakening for me towards the holistic cycle of life? Of being one with all.
Is this an awakening for me towards the deep learnings from earthkeepers, from medicine women and men, from shamans?
Where mother earth is our mother. The mother from all human beings. The one and only who holds our weight, holds us.
Is this an awakening for me towards the behaviour of humans towards their mother, to really realize that destructive behaviour? The destructive, aggresive behaviour towards the mother, a part of the feminine?
Is this an awakening for me, an invitation to learn to feel and hold my weight, my body? To live in my body?
To change view of my body. Not the outside in particular. But all that it allows me to experience, to live in this life.
An this an awakening for me to the female body? A body with the potential of creation. A body that can carry another life within.
Another life. In different meanings:
A new life, a baby.
Or a new life from deep within that would like to be born.
At that time I followed again what wanted to be created. I didn't understand the question 'Who is holding your weight?' and all the possible messages it holds.
Now, I realize that all above possibilities of awakenings are inside for me.
