Destructive

I'm feeling a little 

destructive today.

 

I want to break something,

gaze as it crashes to pieces.

 

I want to see something burn,

watch the flames catch a spark.

 

I want to destroy everything

because my soul is in ruins.

 

My heart is torn apart,

just an ember of what it was.

for the sake of a healthy tree

 

Whenever we get the inclination to burn or destroy, it’s really our soul-wisdom whispering to us, to lop off the dead branches of our life. To burn them – and forget them. Because they have lost their functionality and no longer serve us. And the weight of that dead wood is a burden – to our tree of life.

 

So, we must lop them off and burn them, allowing the ashes to settle into the soil around our roots, where we can absorb the lessons that nurture us, to regrow new healthy branches.

 

It’s a painful endeavour – because those branches are attached to us. And burning off the dead wood is always a painful operation. But it must be done – for the sake of a healthy tree, that will serve us in the future.

You sound like..

You sound like you need a break. Is there anyone out there who can give this woman a break? If the breaks you get need cleaning and/or tightening, I'd be happy to take care of that for you, but you'll have to stay in the garage overnite.
