Renee P. Aldrich, local poet and writer. She is currently working on her new play "Unmasked". This is a story of deception and shocking betrayal, but moreso it’s the story of one woman’s personal journey and discovery of her sacred self.
A Sacred Journey
A sacred journey is a trip
inside yourself to the places
you never get to see unless some
dark pain cut your soul in two.
A sacred journey is a visit
to the closed up space that
emotions only dwell. And
Lay there dormant for as
long as it takes for love of
self and self understanding to
awake.
A sacred journey is a shift of
your paradigm, where you
your soul and your mind.
Start to blend. A sacred journey
is your decision to make, once
made its yours to the end
A sacred journey is a ride
to an unknown land, its
where you learn to count
on yourself, take heart
hold on to your own hand.
A place you can visit, and
decide to live, learn and get
familiar with again – on a Sacred
Journey you can become
brand new, the sacred journey
is a trip to discover the
truth about you—not the
made up stuff you’ve been
masquerading as.
But the bone breaking truth
that you thought was unacceptable
the place where inner and outer
connect. The sacred journey
brings you out of your hiding place
the mask comes off, we see behind
your face.
The sacred journey is liberating,
Renee P. Aldrich
