Go to the Roots, then Rise

You’ve had those moments...the big ahas. 
The intense grace. 
The healing where the skies part and things look like they are shifting. Finally. 
And for this nice chunk of time, things are good. 
Until they aren’t. 
You wonder why. You wonder what you did wrong. 
You wonder how you can get back to what was. 
You may try. Flail. Scream. And fret. Desperate to get back. To go back. To make it how it used to be.
But you can’t. 
The big changes that happened, whatever they were...they weren’t rooted. 
They were being fed by the same stories, the same beliefs you have carried with you for ages.
The patterns may have had that sudden transformation, but what fueled them remained the same. 
So, eventually, they curled back in on themselves...sliding back into the same old grooves you knew all too well.
You don’t get to go back. 
That’s not the point. 
The point is to do the work of the roots.
The point is to use the moment of grace as a guide. 
To see what is in the way. To see what, in your roots, needs to be untangled. Destroyed. And replanted. 
So that you know who you are. So that you live in your power. 
And so that what you create is fueled by Truth.
Do the work. 
Go to the Roots...then rise.
