Burn It All Down

Michael Dahdal June 18, 20241 min read

Sometimes the only way for regeneration

Is to burn it all down

To let the dead bury the dead

To shed the many layers

To take off the many masks

And just lay yourself bare.

To stoke the flames with all clutter you’ve accumulated over the years

All the things

All the successes

All the failures

All the joys

All the pain

All the anguish and everything else that’s been allowed to rule you

Everything thats come to define you

And just watch it all burn, 
let it all simmer and be reduced to ash.

Making fertile again the soil in which your seed was first planted

And then watch it grow again.

But this time, true to its essence

No pretense

Just the reality of everything that you are and everything that you can be –

Rise Phoenix rise.

For here comes that rain again.

  • The Decision of No Decision
    by Michael Dahdal
    Indecision is a decision in and of itself, even though you may not recognise it as such. Your decision to do nothing – to let things play out on their own. It’s taking a back seat and waiting to see how the chips may fall.

    Taking Your Second Chance
    by Michael Dahdal
    It’s pointless, because history will always be confined to history. Instead it may be time to look yourself in the mirror, at the risk of not liking what you see. Because getting it right, means being honest with yourself. It comes with the brutality of having to confront your own demons, And being able and willing to take the hits. So take your second chance. Don’t look back in anger, maintain the hope And be determined to do things a little different.

    Symphony of Sadness
    by Michael Dahdal
    There’s a great symphony in sadness A million things conspiring beautifully together to set a sombre tone. It’s a tragedy, no doubt.  Irrational at times, often transcending words or reason....
  • Communication Is Not a One Way Street
    by Michael Dahdal
    Communication is not a one way street. It’s not about talking, it’s about listening. It’s not about reacting, it’s about responding. It’s not about knowing, It’s about understanding. It’s not about judgement or pretense It’s about connection.

    Leaving It All Behind
    by Michael Dahdal
    Some things are certainly worth holding onto -  Others we just hold onto because we are too afraid to say goodbye.  Not because we can’t But because doing so means facing our own mortality
