DARE TO FEEL AUDIO: Emotions need a channel.

Emotions need a channel.

Life is fucking messy. Humans are messy. And we can choose to let those moments of chaos and mess tear us down, or instead to face them boldly, doing what we can, walking the path, staying the course. We don’t hide from the truth of our pain, our rage, our fear.

Even if we can take just one little step toward honesty and standing up for what we need or what we know to be true.

These moments when we stand instead of collapse are soul making.

We get to see what we are made of. The parts of us that must stand up, must speak up, must move the energy and pain, pouring it into poetry or art or dance, or breaking glass, or singing, or sports, or cooking, or screaming.

Emotions need a channel. When they just sit within us, they build walls around our hearts and minds that calcify and make us sick, turning to stone in our bellies and making headaches that don’t go away. When we feel the moment, as tough as it is, we stay free.
