Collapse – “to fall down, give way, become unconscious.”
A tree.
A structure.
Your mind.
When collapsing, something is completely pushed to its breaking point.
Weakness identified.
Slight pressure added.
Wind.
Quake.
Suggestion.
An abrupt implosion.
Flattening.
Disintegrating.
Shrinking.
Just as a tree topples to the earth, crushing all living things in its path…
The walls of a building weaken, then crumble to the ground, squashing both life and objects beneath.
Your mind breaks down, your spirit caves in, and your soul…goes limp.
It’s a letting go.
And also, a giving up.
How do you come back from this slump?
Trees re-seed.
Buildings get re-built.
We can re-vive.
Searching for peace…piece by piece.
Re-seeding our suspicions.
Re-building our bodies.
Re-viving our vitals.
A natural resurrection.
Breathing life back into what was once threadbare.
Mending the edges.
Snipping loose threads.
Smoothing the wrinkles.
Resilience – “the ability to move through and grow from difficult times.”
It’s not a trait that you either HAVE or DON’T HAVE.
Reread that.
Notice the glow on the horizon.
Sense the warmth in your body.
Recognize you’re moving through darkness.
It’s not a trait that you either HAVE or DON’T HAVE.
Bloom.
Flourish.
Expansion.
There is always resilience after collapse.
Resilience After Collapse
