I don’t need
To be understood, Outside of myself, Only I need to understand myself, Expressing my truth, Living my life, As it is aligning for me, Every single day… When someone misunderstands me, It is only reflecting their understanding. When someone understands me, It is only reflecting their understanding, By resonance of their experience, Through their filters… We don’t have to be understood By everyone, for us to feel our truths, And experiences are validated… If you understand me, We have common ground… If you don’t understand me, My life, my truth, my experiences, Are for me to live, love, learn, get.. No adversity, competition, expectation, Conflict, opinion, issue, will change, What’s going on with my life, To rely on outer understanding, Though it's nice to feel understood, Only I need to validate, Understand, for me to move forward… My life is not to be understood, But lived, as I was, I am, Into who I am becoming, More self-reliant, In all aspects, In all ways, Self-reliant… Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror There is no wrong way, Each is a step we need to take, To become who we need to be, Engaging more powerfully from within, To create, to understand, To live, to share, to realize, To give, to receive, to be…. Self-reliant as we are all, Each in our own way, Creators of our lives..

Overwhelm,
A relentless muse Of what has been with me all I’ve lived, A surging rush of Unbridled excitement Bursted through me, Tingling throughout my body, A regenerative vibe-energy -perspective and feeling Emerging… A living awareness, Awoke fanning the flames, Illuminating from within me, A passionate fiery ablaze so bright, I felt my eyes shut Though I could still feel it there, And see it beyond my closed eyelids… The impact of all those little things, I’ve been adding is building up, Re-enlivening me, Becoming more conscious Than ever before, I am being stirred, I am beginning again, A change, A swirling inexplicably gorgeous, Change occurred and is still occurring, But with being wide awake, I get to witness the wholeness become. Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror 2023 To bear witness to such a magnificence, I am elated as well as enchanted, By the growth, By the powers still growing, More Loud, More Vibrant, More Beautiful, More Moving, More Ever Present… The Overwhelm And Awe is growing, As the fires only are burning brighter And higher..  Learning to not react
To my own thoughts and feelings, Learning to not react to others, Has been definitely an ongoing, Lesson laying presently at my feet, And on my plate.. It’s quite the challenge, Especially now more so than any previous adventure, Adventure as in as we grow and our bodies change, As we age, old lessons, Reemerge, to teach us once again, How everything becomes more sacred, Like our peace, like our atmosphere Inside and out, like our environment, Who we let in, who we let go of, Because what we were used to, No longer serves us any good. The amount of psychological burdens We carry take its toll on our health, So much more than we thought we knew, Or could manage.. My health is too sacred, Too significant to tolerate My own ruminating, Let alone deal with others Negativity and toxicity, To preserve my peace, To protect my peace, Honoring what has changed within me, Around me. Learning to not react, So my anxiety doesn’t knock me down, Is at this very moment my challenge, My purpose, my passion and my path… Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror 2023 May You honor how you have grown, And allow yourself to honor, Where you are now, In wholehearted celebration of good, Rather than nit pick it and destroy What your whole health could be, can be, will be. By learning to not react, And learn to let go of what does not serve you well In your own mind, and body… Living to honor it Daily or moment by moment..  Healing
Can be excruciating, Can seem unbearable, Can be distressing, But it also can be; Fascinating in the ways we discover What we can do, What we can overcome, What we can release, What we can learn and How we still are learning, What feels right to us, What doesn’t feel right to us. Being able to better discern, Our experiences, and what we picked up on, That either became our default setting, Or was added to our internal narrative, Or how that past experience in survival mode, Is still running when we are in a different time. We get better, we feel better, No matter how difficult, No matter how much we feel We are back slipping off a cliff-side. We are shifting, though it may not feel that way, We are healing, and in these healing's We are transforming, becoming into Different people, that sees things differently, Is remembering things differently, Somehow through all the pain, blood, sweat, tears, Changes are happening… Healing is for you, Not for someone else to witness, Or stamp approval for it to be proven. Just like forgiveness isn’t for anyone else but you, Some closures never come, So our lives become a constant healing, And learning experience, But as we heal, we realize a lot more than We used to, we get wiser, Less tolerant of BS, Have firmer boundaries, And honor the growth we’ve had, Meanwhile still healing, Adding more truths and shadows to the light Of our knowing, as we carry on forward.. Healing Can be excruciating, Can seem unbearable, Can be distressing, And truly confusing, Yet somehow, brilliantly, We are able to navigate Ourselves through, Countless amount of times, We get through, Things get better, We get better, Each phase and process teaches us, To have better faith in ourselves, And our innate ability to overcome, To rise, to move along perhaps sorely, But we do sincerely and wholly, Carry on forward, resiliently and powerfully… Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror 2023 Life does get better, eventually, Be Brave.  What is ailing you, for you to read
Something in a negative internal tone? When it could be you taking it wrong. What is ailing us all to misinterpret Others, inciting anger and offense? What is the baggage claiming all you see, All you hear, all you are choosing to feel? What wounds are activated, having you in constant Flight or fight mode? What ails us silently within, Whether we suppress or express it? What lives beneath your crossness, And reactive responses? As you so quickly judge And want to argue, wrecking havoc internal narrative, Can we please stop projecting it? Can we stop dumping it on others? Can we stop taking things out of context, So we have ammunition for war against each other? Could we observe ourselves, And how we are contributing to our way of sensing? How we are contributing to the war on ourselves In conflict with others? Could we just pause, Think about what happened in the past to us, being triggered now? Instead of shaming, blaming and slandering Others who have offended us, Bullying them to make them feel small, Like it was when it happened to us… Being spiteful because of haters, Only creates more anguish and hatred. We don’t win with hate, anger, and fighting. What is ailing us, needs healed, Forgiven, let go, because it allows History to repeat itself, In a perpetual cycle Where nothing gets resolved, More hurt feelings, More pissed off people, More slamming, More shame, More blame, More pain, More history, More shit, More hate, More division, More chaos, More of what no one wants, Needs or desires. No moving forward, Just stuck in a loop enabling The same narrative To drive your life, Like nascar in loops… What ails us, if we let it, drives us, May we get wiser, May we get kinder, May we love more, May we forgive, Let things be, And break the cycle, So we can all grow forward.. I believe whatever is ailing us, Facing it, working through it, Heals us. Melissa Palmer © Evolving Mirror 2023 In all world full of misinformation, Perhaps that contributes to what Is ailing us in a constant war Against everyone.. I don’t need
