Thursday’s Poetry Prompt

Complimentary

A poem for a healthy work environment

Several days ago I wrote and ILLUMINATION-Curated published 100’s of Stories about Spiritual Awakening — No One Seems to Discuss The Difficult and Crucial Integration and Alignment Processes, in which among other writers, I particularly credited Patrick Paul Garlinger for his works on Awakening.

Last night I read his piece 8 Spiritual Principles for Connecting with the Divine Inside, The more you integrate them, the deeper your connection to God. I was pleased to see that my piece, whether or not he consciously realized it, inspired PPG to discuss integration and that together we are complimenting each other's purpose to be a light for others.

I took particular note of:

We have all been hurt; we are the repositories of countless moments of sadness, anger, fear, unworthiness, self-loathing, and hatred,

as lately I’ve discovered hurt pockets that I thought were empty but there’s still stuff to release — it’s great though — it’s positive occurrences emptying pockets of things that had been wished for because now they are happening — the release is in the form of meaningful but not sad tears.

From 1996 through 2009 I worked ostensibly with but actually under my malignant narcissistic cousin in our family real estate business. At the time I had a dependent personality — it was a nightmare. He wasn’t interested in any original thought of mine. I longed for a collaborative work environment. The last vestiges of those pain pockets have been draining the past few days thanks to Dr Mehmet Yildiz and the tremendous team of editors who have welcomed me and my mind with open hearts and minds. Thank you, Tree Langdon and Liam Ireland in particular.

I just looked at today's prompt and wouldn’t you know, it’s tanka-time:

Inspired, hungry curiosity for more eager to listen feeling the warmth of my love desiring to share not keep
