Written by a participant after the January 2026 workshop “Finding the King Within”
After the banishment
We sent the Sovereign away
the night we confused him
with the fist.
History had made its case —
voices that filled rooms
by shrinking everyone in them,
hands that called control
“strength,”
boys taught that volume
was virtue.
So we dismantled the throne.
Safer, we thought,
to let no one sit at all.
Years passed in a republic of impulse.
No tyrant —
but no center either.
Just weather.
The fear remains:
What if he returns wearing iron?
What if power always sharpens into harm?
But lately
something different stands at the edge —
not loud,
not hungry.
A steadiness.
Not the urge to dominate,
but to hold.
Not the need to win,
but to bless.
The Sovereign waits
outside the door we barred from within.
The question is not
whether he was dangerous.
The question is
whether we can tell the difference now.
Don’t wait for tomorrow- rule your Kingdom
If only I were king for a day…
Oh, if only I was ruler of these lands…
One day, some day, some day, one day
If I, if I… if I could just…
!BULL SHIT!
Call yourself out with the very thing that can rule your world:
THE KING
No ifs, no shoulds, no buts, no coulds, no whens, tomorrows or next weeks
Be on fire for this now!
There is only now and this is how I re-seat the King
Keys, a bunch of blessed keys hangs on my belt
With these, there will be release!
Untamed
Unrestricted
Unapologetic and self assured
In time the wounds amassed in the many frays that life throws at us will be cured
Internal alliances made
Kinship established
Heart felt intentions relayed
Be on fire for this and trust me, no one gets burnt
These flames of passion devote their warmth to courage, presence, wisdom, and grace
A benevolent sovereign presence
Look through the eyes of your King
See the love in his face
The union of magic, romance and strength
A dance
A joyful congregation
Be on fire for this!
Eyes burn bright and during your darkest night every corner becomes lit
Every shadow seems fit to explore, to centre and integrate
This is how I re-seat the king
Now is the time…
