Restore🕊️
Sharing in a little poem beeeecaaaaause I was contemplating fear and the ill effects of it (fear is the mindkiller)... I wrote it about a year ago and it was inspired by the movie WALL-E (haha) and also by some conversations that I was having at that time surrounding the world... Some questions for reflection and action steps at the end!! vulnerable moment for me here.
Restore
What’s been created has been met with destruction
Annihilate the world, the effect of seduction
Desolate world, ready to be tilled anew
Fertile ground, truth ready to break through
Worn down body, hopeful eyes
Disguised compromise led to demise
Timid first steps, courage is building
Fear is present, atonement is thrilling
Volte-face in the interest of progress
No longer depressed by the excess we possess
A collective sigh of relief ready to be heard
Synergy of a few spirits are changing the world
Ripple effect, we get to choose
Will we restore or make another excuse?
The rumbling of the quiet, contending voices
Flourishing souls, the earth rejoicing
Step back to move forward, the caged bird is free
What is to come we cannot foresee
A resting place, we’re here for now
We live the effects of what we allow
--Georgiana
POLL: After reading Restore, which statement resonates most with where you are right now?
REFLECTIONS AND ACTIONS BASED ON THE POLL:
1. “Fear is present, but courage is quietly building.”
Reflection: Where am I acting bravely despite still feeling afraid?
Action: Name one small step you’ve taken recently that required courage-honor it instead of minimizing it.
2. “We live the effects of what we allow.”
Reflection: What have I been tolerating that’s shaping my inner or outer world?
Action: Identify one boundary (internal or external) you could gently but firmly reinforce this week.
3. “Step back to move forward.”
Reflection: What excess (noise, expectations, roles) am I being invited to let go of?
Action: Choose one intentional “step back” (less scrolling, fewer commitments, more silence).
4. “Ripple effect—we get to choose.”
Reflection: Where could my influence matter more than I think?
Action: Do one restorative act (toward yourself, another person, or the earth) today.
5. “Desolate ground, ready to be tilled anew.”
Reflection: What loss or ending is quietly making room for something truer/better?
Action: Write down what you hope might grow here, without worrying how yet.
6. “Still contending with fear—the mindkiller.”
Reflection: How has fear narrowed my imagination or agency lately?
Action: Name the fear out loud (or on paper). Fear loses power when articulated. Identify one way to resolve the issue you're fearing.
“Fear is present, but courage is quietly building.”I feel fear, but I’m taking small, intentional steps anyway.
We live the effects of what we allow.”I’m realizing how much my inaction or compromises have shaped my life/world.
“Step back to move forward.”I’m in a pause or reset season, letting go of excess to realign.
“Ripple effect—we get to choose.”I feel called to be part of restoration, even if it starts small.
“Desolate ground, ready to be tilled anew.”Something has ended or collapsed, and I’m standing at the edge of rebuilding.
“Still contending with fear—the mindkiller.”Fear is currently louder than hope, and I’m aware of its cost
