re·lease...
allow or enable to escape from confinement; the act of setting free or letting go, to give freedom or free movement to someone or something
Yesterday I released emotionally, I cried for no immediate reason, other than I had time and space to let go and let the tears flow. I didn’t overthink why I was so emotional in that moment or what triggered it, I just allowed the tears to flow. They say crying is cleansing and I believe through this process you are also releasing energy that is counterproductive to your purpose, you are letting go.
I’m learning to ‘release’ more frequently, and that this is continuous, it’s a process. I’m learning ‘release’ varies in its expressions and what it looks like, it can be emotionally charged resulting in cleansing, or letting go of clutter or relationships that no longer serve your purpose. I’m in a season of release, I’m decluttering my physical and mental space, I’m removing distractions so that I can be open and ready to receive what’s next, what God has for me.
This is a piece I wrote many years ago, probably more than a decade, it speaks to how I’m feeling...
last night...
i cried again
not tears welled up in my eyes
noticeable to others
not tears running down my face
touching my lips
the lips that spoke words expressing
hurt… pain… sorrow
and then dropped off my chin
i cried tears welled up inside
my whole body became full
full of my tears
i wanted to explode
to pour out to get out
but i was trapped inside of me
last night i cried
