you, in the quiet middle

we were never meant to split ourselves

We were never meant to          s p l i t          ourselves.

We can’t separate
head from heart,
mind from body,
thought from feeling,
reason from intuition.

They were never meant to be enemies.
Only parts of one long conversation,
always happening inside us.

And the work,
-oh the delicious mess of it-
is to stop picking sides.
To stop deciding
one is holy
and the other —
dangerous.

Let them meet.

Clarity isn’t found at the edge of reason
or in the wild pull of feeling.

It waits in the middle.

                                                                                        in the quiet place

In between sensation and meaning.
In the space where your ship trusts the ocean.

That’s where we find ourselves again.
That’s where you were all along.
