The mission of POETRY IN EDEN is to uncover the universal human search for meaning through philosophy and poetry. With this mission, I aim to share unique aspects from my personal experience in hopes that we may evermore be inspired and filled with a curiosity for Self, life, and others.
You see, life is a winding road with many paths. Choice is powerful, but choice without Self awareness, authenticity, vulnerability sounds more like self sabotage or manipulation, blind faith or people pleasing . . .
In this week’s podcast, episode #14 on Spotify and Apple, we explore Carl Jung’s archetypal symbolism through the lens of a practicing therapist, Julia Elstrodt.
In this week’s episode, The Symbolic Soul, Julia reminds us about the joy of discovery and uncovering that was innate to Jung’s work. He even ended up in the East discovering the oneness implied in Eastern religions.
I have capitalised the ‘S’ in Self in this week’s post in honour of the God within all of us, which Jung coined - the Self.
I encourage you to check out this week’s podcast episode on Spotify and Apple! It is really a glorious listen and feels like a MasterClass.
As new chapters unfold before me, I pray the grace, mercy, joy, and love of the universe will always find me. I pray I may continue to embrace the Om inside us all. I offer you the same prayers. Amen.
With that, please continue to like these posts and leave comments so readership and engagement continues to grow!
Discovery
My heart beats
boom. boom. boom
as I lay in this room in a place called home.
And if I listen to my heart
It says Lisboa, and that it is time to roam.
Yet, here, I’ve loved you so —
You must know I loved you so.
Farewells are so hard for me
but you see, it shows me
the depths of love and discovering
who and where we’re meant to be.
Yes . . . meant to be. 🦋
