Reframing does not have to be positive. You do not have to go from “I am terrible” to “I am amazing.” Sometimes the most healing step is going from “I am terrible” to “I am doing my best.” Neutrality is still progress. It is still a shift. It is still a way out of the spiral.

I'm years into my recovery and I still find only neutrality helps, and maybe that's just what works for me.

Be my lover between two wars waged in the mirror, she said. I don't want to return now to the fortress of my father's house. Take me to your vineyard. Let me meet your mother. Perfume me with basil water. Arrange me on silver dishes, comb me, imprison me in your name, let love kill me.

“While hiking in Olympic National Park a couple days ago I experienced something I had never heard of. It’s called a Brocken Spectre or Mountain Spectre.  It’s my shadow in the center of the Aura or “Glory”. It was probably the coolest thing I’ve ever experienced in all of my mountain days and I certainly felt very lucky. Here is a link to the short video I made that gives a better idea of the juxtaposition. https://youtu.be/CWZ03O_a0Qw” -  Nikki K
