REMEMBERING WHO YOU ARE
I have had over
A dozen experiences
With plant medicine
At this point in my life
And I can tell you
In no uncertain terms
That she has been my
Greatest spiritual teacher
She may not be
For everyone
But everyone
Is meant for her
She will show you
The most unrefined
Aspects of you
She will guide you
Through the most painful
And horrifying wormholes
Embedded in your psyche
She will reveal to you
Everything you need
To know
To see
To heal
In order to get
To the other side
Of You
She will take you
If necessary
Through past
Lifetimes
She will extract
From you
Your deepest
Darkest
Secrets
She will relentlessly
And unapologetically
Help - or sometimes force
you - to see what
You would most prefer
To ignore
Not in others
But in yourself
Because this
All knowing
Powerful
Loving
Steady
Medicine...
She is the wisest
She is the Grandmother
The Mother of all Mothers
The one who knows
The one who sees
The one who cannot be
Manipulated
Tricked
Bought
Or sold
She will take you
To the depths
Of hell
Only to show you
That the person
At the center of that hell
Is you
Yes, it will make you
Want to rage
And scream
And shout
And cry
It will make you want to revolt
To declare that you don't 'agree'
To declare that you don't submit
To declare that you don't 'need' her
But in the end
If necessary
She will bring you
To your knees
She will open your eyes
Against your so-called will
And create within you
A reality where You are the
Only one
In charge
At first
This responsibility
May frighten you
But in the end
It will relieve you
Of all the burdens
You have been carrying around
For millennia
In the end
She will leave you
With a self-awareness
That no money can buy
And only a true, sincere
And ongoing self-inquiry
Can sustain
She will help restore you
- as long as you commit
to following the path -
To your true power
She will remind you
Of all that you really are
She will show you
The judgemental nature
Of your own mind
And give you
Opportunity
After opportunity
To let go
Of all of it
In the end
She will help you remember
Who you truly are
And why you truly came
She will help wash away
Everything that isn't true
And help reveal to you
The Light and brightest
Version of you
She will help you see
That joy is your natural state
That expansion is your truest birthright
She will help you find your way home
To our collective growth,
Tara x
