souls not roles
Comment
This poem speaks to my heart in a big way right now as I feel into the pain of identifying with prescribed roles in society: mother, daughter, wife, sister, and friend, as I gradually let go of judging and blaming myself for my failings and how I've hurt people by not measuring up to ideal behaviors put forth by society. The lines are dissolving and blurring as I see myself and others more and more as souls, not roles. This is so timely. Thank you, Open.
