Why didn't anyone tell me we're all in our individual silos?!???

Hey!

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't know that we've all been in our own individual silos the last eight months or so.

Whether because of my work with people and relationships...

or the importance of connection for me....

Maybe it's something in my astrological birth chart...

Possibly it's an individual characteristic or due to an attachment style.

But I didn't think for one moment that I was going through this alone...

That I was supposed to be focused on me and my health and my priorities and let go of everyone else.

And the last week...I guess I've come into that news.

I got the memo.

It's been a really weird time processing and integrating and looking back and seeing the ways in which others folded themselves into their own little cubbies and pods...

And I was standing out in the elements on my own.

While driving yesterday I wondered if perhaps I was undermining my own resiliency.

I wondered if this was what it was like to live with my heart open when the people around me shuttered up their hearts and took cover within.

I celebrated my capacity to brush my teeth every morning, to eat, to take showers, to walk, to work.

I've shown up to client sessions still wiping away tears while swallowing them quickly in session if a sensation or memory arises from my personal life.

Wanting to list and acknowledge myself more, I realize that while I may have been alone, I didn't conceive of myself as alone.

I had you with me.

I carried you with me.

My heart was open to you.

So I hope your silo is nice and warm and cozy and offering you exactly what you need right now.

It makes so much sense to pull your limbs into your turtle shell.

And when you're ready to peek out, I'm here. :)

Offering you so much love,
Daniela
