Day 17 - "unlearn" by enfleshed https://padlet.com/enflesehd/4apuxf1egw7jov9e enfleshed - poetry through lent en-us 2021-02-18 21:47:12 UTC 2025-11-04 05:25:14 UTC hello@padlet.com Unlearn https://padlet.com/enflesehd/4apuxf1egw7jov9e/wish/1281819166 Unfortunately there is much to unlearn.  Patterns of behavior, cultural beliefs, my own embodied understandings.
I grieve what I have learned, what I have taught others, what I allowed others to believe about me. Joy comes in the unlearning.

You’re too aggressive
You’re too unconventional
Unlearn that shit

We need diversity 
We need young families
We need the pews filled
Unlearn that shit

I’m not good enough 
I don’t fit in
They want to put me in a box
I will, with God’s help, leave what is not unlearned.

unclenched fist,
leaning into slowness 
into softness.

Encouraging my body to rest
and my mind to
just
be
still.

Quelling that
voice of judgment 
to see with the heart's eye,
creating room 
to breathe, to dance - 
indwelling spirit, 
at home in my skin.

Everything I have learned is like papier-mâché - one pasted piece of paper glued together after another...molded and hardened.

It’s too late to try to remove one piece at a time in the same way it was applied.

It’s time for a revolutionary unlearning... time to release the entire perception into the elements, and let the soul of it fly free.

Empathy. Grief. Connection. Healthy boundaries. Equality. Community. Trust. Delight. Embodiment.

I study those who are learned in this process in order to find out how;
And then I discover that the real teacher is God within me, saying "Just let go!"

New ways appear, paths to use until it is time to erase again. ]]> 2021-03-08 16:52:52 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/4apuxf1egw7jov9e/wish/1283169393 https://padlet.com/enflesehd/4apuxf1egw7jov9e/wish/1283499161 O God, I have so much to unlearn

It must be unlearned

From the old post where it clings;
Drape it round the new. ]]> 2021-03-09 03:11:49 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/4apuxf1egw7jov9e/wish/1285502738 Unlearn https://padlet.com/enflesehd/4apuxf1egw7jov9e/wish/1285708469 Entering the world, the first thing             

We learn is to grasp. How hard it is

To unlearn grasping and practice giving.

“Enough” cannot be quantified. It is not in a bank account or a sock drawer or a Mason jar. Also:

Even if the work is not done, even if you could push on, you are allowed to sit, rest, read, enjoy your life. Also:

“You can’t make a very good living at that” is actually terrible advice for living. ]]> 2021-03-09 05:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/4apuxf1egw7jov9e/wish/1285874784 Unlearn https://padlet.com/enflesehd/4apuxf1egw7jov9e/wish/1286748669 Unlearning the message of 'not good enough';

taking up my space in the world.
