A Soul's Journey

It's okay to be mentally ill.

It's okay to be addicted.

Your soul is on a journey.

I love you unconditionally.

When I pass you on your path,

when you enter my space, 

I see nothing but a beautiful soul growing and learning at your own pace.

When you agitate, aggravate, stir up the waters of my tranquility,

I breathe deep and slip away into the soft dreamscape of my interior peace.

I worry not about your well-being because I know, deep down into my bones, 

that you are, in your essence,

a child of light,

loved, protected, cherished,

as are we all. 

It's okay to be mentally ill.

It's okay to be addicted.

It's part of the journey,

and, in the vast expanse of timelessness,

all roads lead to heaven.

This is wonderful. If only more people could share your generosity of soul - how much better life would be! Beautifully written, inspiring piece. It’s so reassuring knowing people like you exist. Xx

A lovely, generous spirited, wise poem. Beautiful, Helene.
One last thing. Actually All Roads Lead to Malton. (it's the title of my book!) 😂

A beautiful, beautiful poem Hélena. "It's okay to be addicted, it's okay to be mentally ill, it's part of the journey." I've learnt that being hard on yourself to get back on your feet during a mentall illness kind of gets on your mind, and it only eats you up more mentally when your body doesn't give in equally. When I pass you on your path,

"When you enter my space,
I see nothing but a beautiful soul growing and learning at your own pace."

These are the lines that a person going through mental issue needs to be hearing from a mentor or a parent.
A lovely poem Hélèna.
Thank you for this.
