Your Quiet Knowing: A Poem from a Santa Rosa Therapist

You have a quiet knowing deep within that has always been present.

It’s there.

It has always been there.

It will always be there.

It winds through the dusky-dawn junctions of knowing and not knowing.

It’s of you. And in you.

And circling through you.

Always.

Your quiet knowing that has always been present.

But sometimes, without realizing it, you stop its flow.

With worries.

With comparisons.

With harsh words.

With self-judgment.

With hollow advice.

With nagging criticism.

And yet, it prevails.

This quiet knowing that has always been present.

Constant. Faithful. Dependable.

As dependable as the sun rising and setting.

Waiting.

(Patiently)

For the day when you put aside the comparisons and harsh words and advice.

The day when you come home to yourself, and your quiet knowing.

The quiet knowing that has always been present.

Do you need some extra support these days?

If you’re feeling disconnected from your quiet knowing, or sense that something’s missing, my free course — Finding Yourself Again — is a good place to start.

I created the course to help you reconnect with your deepest wisdom, get insight on the critical voices and beliefs within you, and begin to transform them with creative and imaginative approaches. It’s based on the same practices that have helped my clients reclaim what’s missing and move toward what matters.

You can learn more about the course here. And if you have any questions, get in touch.
