3 Minute Retreat - Wholeness

When you hear the word 'wholeness' what do you hear?

I know that it is common to consider wholeness as unreachable. It seems to be a state of mind that is for those without wounds, without story. But, wholeness, in reality is something I believe is within.

It is true our story defines a big part of our journey. At times the wounds, the holes, the deep gashes where we fell so hard we never believed we could stand again, sometimes can decide how or where we walk next.

Though that same story is ours to own. It makes each step, each phase and each stage so meaningful that it allows us to go deep into a part of ourselves and our journey that we once feared walking towards...in wholeness. We hold ourselves together and lift ourselves up.

I find it fascinating how we can feel alone. Are we ever really alone? Someone out there in the world is feeling the same emotion as we are and considering a path that we too are trying to walk.

The next time you feel lost, wounded, broken or alone...remember you are as alone as you allow yourself to be.

You are whole within your own story.
