Creating Recovery

Scattered…

To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.

~Simone Weil

As necessary as it is to explore and take risks, it is equally so to be rooted. We all need an anchor, something to stabilize us when the winds of change blow and scatter our energies.

During major growth spurts, milestones and shifts in personal circumstances, we are vulnerable to losing a sense of groundedness. This is when it’s especially important to reach for the people who provide a sure and steady source of support. They are those who recognize your potential. Understand your limitations. Share your experiences. Respect your boundaries and encourage you. By blood or circumstance, they are your kin. With them, you are home free.

I am both tethered and free—safe, at peace, and most fully myself in the company of kindred souls. With them in my life, I can go anywhere.
