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,
