Your rage is not too big to be received

There is no emotion so big or raw or rugged that we can express on this earth that she hasn’t received before. No emotion that our Mother can’t handle.

Every generation throughout the whole of human history has laid on the ground and beat her with their fists and sobbed and yelped and roared. Has howled under the stars and moon. Has screamed under water, has let their tears, snot, sweat and dirt drip off them as they surrender in rage, pain and grief.

Every generation until the modern western world that is.

And it is a disservice to us that our rage is considered wrong, that we opt for anger management rather than anger release, that our grief and pain is pathologised whilst we remain neutral to or unaware of the structures that magnify our rage.

Give your emotions to the earth, she is strong enough to handle them, she will transmute them, and hold you while she does it.
