Tigers

The largest of the tigers still before me is that dark place of self hatred and punishment which I have chipped away at and yet still remains there beneath to catch me and swallow me whole in my lowest moments. I acknowledge it as a huge part of who I have been all my life until now and that it was always going to take much longer than the period of the Deepening to surrender to it’s hold and just let it be what it is. I will continue with my intention to soften and accept it and maybe one day be free of it too.
