Brush Away The Dirt | 11.14.20

www.tylerknott.com

If you are at all like me, even for a moment or two a week, you’ll understand this haiku, this feeling, today. Often, I feel myself deep down below the surface of my voice, I feel like I’m down there shouting out, needing a bit of patience or joy, needing a break, a breath, tenderness or care. I think sometimes this is the Autism, I think sometimes it’s the universe, I think sometimes it’s too much people, too much noise, too much just too much, but whatever the case may be, I sink in and I wait. Brave are those that are willing to brush the dirt away, to get their hands unclean in the attempt to resurrect me. Brave and loving and kind and I feel unworthy for the grace given.

Lost and shouting out,

buried deep inside myself.

Brush away the dirt.

Well my love, at least when you are feeling buried you make beautiful things. I just cry and bake more cookies. 💚 p.s. I’ll always try to bring you back. Always.

Thank you for sending this along this morning. 🌷I often have the line from the Bruce Cockburn song, “Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight” running through my head in a way to keep reminding myself to dig myself out. Though many days I similarly need to wait it out and look for those around me to help with the unburying. Thank you for your light and words.
