Is your cupboard empty
creating hunger from inside
are you fearful
of the statement
dropping on the floor
holding breath
holding fear inside
why did no one tell you
how to run your life
while so many sit at tables
laden with gold
what is the message
we are being told
where does our own worth
lie in this storm
who are you
when the balance is low
are you groveling in the ashes,
picking up the dregs
of others lives’
how is your self worth
when all will fall away
the crucial moment
waiting for that one voice
To say
here
hold out your hand
here is the gold
here is your worth
wishing it was different
yet deeper inside
the worthiness calls
to you ‘be my friend’
it cannot be
outside
your self
a living dream
of some one else
pride inside the cupboard
do you know your own worth
without a price on your head
a heart in your hand
your worth is not written
on paper
figures on a sheet
it lies in the hearts
of every one you meet

About Caroline Carey
Caroline is an English Grandmother and an aspiring crone~elder, an author of four books, a speaker and innovative and creative teacher, offering her work via workshops and gatherings online as well as internationally.
By adapting the religious education insisted on by her family, she was able to recognise her own innate connection to God/Spirit and has been on a spiritual path since childhood.
She is a champion of music, dance and poetry as healing tools since she was four years old and developed an innate understanding of the soul’s journey, a connection to physical embodiment through movement, theatre and the creative arts. Her work is harmonious with nature.
Her journey has manifested as her own personal training into eldership and crone-hood, carrying the wisdom needed for stability and balance in individuals, relationships, families and communities. Mothering her six, now adult, children, gave Caroline the art of play, creativity, story-telling and opened up the deep surrender and unconditional love that motherhood can bestow.
Caroline has trained in many modalities of dance, therapeutic and spiritual teacher trainings since 1986. She is a writer who has published her autobiography and four other books about her spiritual work. Her latest book, 'Middle Earth Wisdom' will be published soon. She lives in UK with her husband Ben Cole, a film-maker, a director who works with men’s initiation groups. They often offer work together, incorporating dance, presentation and film.
Caroline is:
A mother and grandmother
A writer and poet
A dancer
A spiritual life coach
A catalyst for change
She is available to you for guidance
