I want to unfold. I don’t want to stay folded anywhere, because where I am folded, there I am a lie. I want my grasp of things to be true. I want to describe myself like a painting that I looked at closely for a long time, like a saying that I finally understood, like a ship that carried me through the wildest storm of all. ~ Rainer Maria Rilke #unfold #tommytinker #creativityfound #portrait #portraiture #inspiredlife #last90days #authenticself #dynamicportraits #neverstopmoving #neveratopcreating #arteverydamnday lens: @jessieredmondphoto dress: @fancyluckyvintage

🦋 Morphing \ˈmȯrf-ing \ to be transformed. Soon after Tommy passed, I was seeing butterflies, everywhere! On the dashboard of my car, in the streets, in the fields. Everywhere. I thought I was going mad. Isaiah -my first son- would come to me holding a dead butterfly. ‘Look mummy! look!’ I told my very matter-of-fact husband about the madness and he kindly listened. That same day- he called me out to the front door. Underneath him he noticed that our doormat was.... can you guess? Yes! A BUTTERFLY!! We laughed. We hugged. Butterflies carry the meaning of 'released soul'. They are a symbol of death, but most importantly rebirth. rebirth /rēˈbərTH/ the process of being reincarnated or born again: Has I understood it, Tommy was in my life but in a different form. What’s more- he  was teaching me that I was my own butterfly- rising in grief the best I knew how. The perfect metaphor. Coming out of the cocoon - taking flight. We glamorize this symbolism too. Like it was an easy thing to change from caterpillar to butterfly. Not so. The wize Maya Angelous wrote: “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty. Yeah. Recalibrate to my new life without Tommy required a beautifully painful. Morphing. Welcoming what’s heavy  is revealing. It’s a risk to show up, to flirt daily with the unknown and uncertainty of where it may lead me. But welcoming grief is an invitation to unfold. unfold /ˌənˈfōld/ to open or spread out from a folded position: To let go what i think is me and move where life leads me. Yours in continual morphing, always. E. ⭐️ #tommytinkerforever 📷: @jessieredmondphoto
Do you know why I love this so much? I love this because we all carry something. We all hold secrets. We have all are of have been or will be affected by SOMETHING. Your something is worth discussing about, make shapes and art about, it’s worth writing about and finding a safe community to share your « things » about. @the_numinous also writes: « make peace with triggering conversation for the sake of your own healing. As you taste the bitterness of discomfort, imagine it is a magical pill that can plant seeds of forgiveness in your soul. » WHAT SHE SAID. I swear am learning this exact sentence for your yoga class. So timely!!! Triggers are the way IN. Make peace with discomfort...... that’s yoga. That’s freedom. Yours in healing, always.

These two 👯‍♀️ Went to watch the Transform Screening tonight -sat there- emotional and blown away. We haven’t all had our necks broken, but we’ve all been traumatized. Normalizing trauma, physical & mental pain with this MUST-WATCH documentary of bold life. Taught these two beauties yoga in Grade 10 and to witness their burgeoning has been nothing but a privileged. They’ve welcomed death in all its forms and it shows. It shows in the way they propel themselves in the world. They burn bright. They don’t waste time. Their pain becomes their art. Out of it, they create light. They show up for what they believe in. They know the power of resonance and own it. They bring people together. They have a voice. You are both inspiring teachers to me. Your mom is proud! I am proud!! ❤️❤️❤️ @marietwright @meaghanwright E. ⭐️ #halifaxjewels #lovemytwins #transform #tommytinkerforever
