Yesterday, during my Soul Poetry practice, this message revealed itself.
Every single time I sit down with a page, the message that emerges meets me exactly where I am.
Every time.
I begin by opening to a random page and allowing certain words to reveal themselves until the message becomes clear.
This is the stage most people never see.
The moment when the message begins to emerge from an entire page of text.
Plunge in
Begin to edit
Revising
More revising
And then the line that stopped me in my tracks:
You’re creating
Your story.
For me, this message is a reminder that we always have the ability to look at our lives — our past, our patterns, the choices we’ve made — and decide to revise, rewrite, and redirect the path forward.
But that requires one important thing:
trusting our instincts.
Trust your instincts
To reveal
A riveting tale.
One of the ways I’ve come to understand this practice is that each message is like an X that marks the spot on the map of my life — shining a light on something that wants attention, reflection, healing, or sometimes even celebration.
So before the artwork begins, I sit with the message.
I live with it.
I ponder it.
I let it show me what it’s asking me to see.
This page is that moment.
The X that appeared yesterday.
The artwork will come later.
✨
Which line in this message speaks to you the most?
