A refined post about strength & softness

-
I orignally posted a version of this March 30 2016 - you can see it here on my blog. 

And have since refined it.

Why be strong all the time? 

Let's be soft. 
Let's feel the sadness. 

Why create an armour of strength.
Let's melt into our deep dark grief.  

Why create a shield. 
Let our hearts be broken. 

Let the sadness spill out until we are empty and drained. 

Let the love refill us, let love be our soft, subtle strength. 

Today's date : May 26 2021 
Picture from winter 2021 
Let our world be held up by light and love. 

Why do we need to be strong all the time when clearly there is the time for softness.

Today I was honoured, again.  I was honoured last week as well.  How was I honoured?  I have had two people on separate occasions ask - 'how did you begin, I want to do what you do'.  I am honoured.  Thank you, for asking.  There has not been one course or one school I attended to become or to be what I am now.  I feel my role is to support people as they remember happiness is their truth - and I support people to be happy in all they do.  Simple.  Maybe?  I do this through of a variety of ways. Mostly I do it by being me.  I started all of this really in the early 1990s as a volunteer fitness instructor with our local YMCA because of a fitness class I attended in the late 1980s {baby making years} - I thought, 'I could do that' and I did.  I took all the required courses (I believe proper training is important) and I began teaching classes, I then saw a need to do one on one training and began that -- at the time there were no real courses to support this desire,
