This is such a beautiful, poetic meditation on wholeness. One of the most difficult yet necessary undertakings toward self-acceptance is communicating with the "Shadow" self. I also struggle with anxiety, but your piece reminded me to connect with what anxiety has taught me without seeing it as an immutable aspect of my identity. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks so much. Your comment means a lot to me. Agreed embracing the shadow side is what leads to wholeness. No way around it.
