You are Magic ❤️ Dear Artistic (and poetic) Dancer
“You deserve a lover who wants you disheveled, with everything and all the reasons that wake you up in a haste and the demons that won’t let you sleep.
You deserve a lover who makes you feel safe, who can consume this world whole if he walks hand in hand with you; someone who believes that his embraces are a perfect match with your skin.
You deserve a lover who wants to dance with you, who goes to paradise every time he looks into your eyes and never gets tired of studying your expressions.
You deserve a lover who listens when you sing, who supports you when you feel shame and respects your freedom; who flies with you and isn’t afraid to fall.
You deserve a lover who takes away the lies and brings you hope, coffee, and poetry "

An endless search for "Her Perfect Lover"
An endless search for "Her Perfect Lover"
One theme that constantly emerged in Kahlo's work is suffering.
After a lifetime of physical, emotional, and relationship pains,
Kahlo's worldview was one that understood and embraced the role
of trauma in human experiences.
In few paintings is this more clear than her 1946
''The Wounded Deer''.
 |
| "Carma" ~ Some said it expressed her frustration over the botched surgery. Others said it portrays her incapability to control her own destiny. And some people said it has sexual implication and expressed her struggles in numerous failed relationships. |
"I leave you my portrait so that you will have my presence
all the days and nights that I am away from you".

Tribute To An Amazingly Talented Artist
Who Lived and Saw Life Through
The Genius of Her Traumatised Soul
There are those who dare to suggest that trauma-survivors are too attached to their trauma.
That they are perpetuating their victimhood.
That they are choosing to remain stuck.
Easy for them to say-
they either didn’t experience as much trauma,
or they have worked only some of it through,
or they are in complete denial.
It’s been my experience that those who are the most affixed to the argument
that we ‘choose’ our traumas,
are usually the ones who are dissociating from them the most.
Their adherence to by passing new age beliefs about choice,
and victimhood, are a dead giveaway.
Let’s be clear about what we are talking about.
Trauma is an embodied experience.
It lives in people's bones, veins, arteries, tissues, muscles, organs.
It’s in their cells, hearts and souls.
Watch The new agers who try to sell advice, woo woo healing,
soul redemption meditations or a magic short retreat fix.
Especially those who are completely unqualified to do so.
Yes, it is often possible to heal trauma,
but not always.
Not in a culture that buries it and that has few methodologies for deep healing.
Not in a world that is still actively victimizing.
Rather than making the assumption that trauma survivors are
perpetuating their victimhood, let’s do something different.
Let’s listen deeply to their stories with a compassionate heart.
Let's just listen.
Perhaps if we listen close enough,
we will also begin to hear our own unresolved wounds rising to the surface,
ready to be shared.
Beware the Charlatans, the Quacks and Fakirs,
Beware The Gurus Wearing Gold and driving A Rolls,
Beware The New Cagers, The White Lighters, The Quick Business Buck Buy Passes,
over stepping Their (non existent) Expertise with No Care For Credibility
Run fast from, the "healers" who Hype,
The Signed Book Launchers with Long Lunches,
(and advertising handouts in the obligatory Free show bag....)
Call Out The Somatic Bullies Yelling at you as a Motivational Speaker
Beware The Weekend Seminar Selling Warriors,
(be "counsellor trained" in 48 hours, start your own healing business Dream, NOW~) )
Laugh at The Snake Oilers selling You A Pay Pal recurring Product
Beware of All who corporatise Trauma
or have Limited Lived Experience of it
let alone any
compassion or care or empathy
or ability To Hold Space By Listening
or knowledge or certification or qualification.
Trauma is Not A Product To Be Played With By Ignorance or
Sold With or By Pretense.
Caveat Emptor
Let The Buyer Beware.
