we run
we hide
we ignore
there is another option
though it is hot, stay
what is old shall fall away
you are born from love

we have within our hearts
the capacity to
hold all of this.
the tears, the laughter
the noise, the silence
the gain, the loss
the stillness
the love.
we also have within our minds
the wisdom to
let it all go.
and here we are
on this journey together
learning to dance between the two.
this life!
this life!

perhaps we are here
simply to bear witness
to the world
her
suffering and joy
all the while reminding her
in the thickness of morning
and
the surrender into night
she is beautiful
and
she is loved.

be mindful. be discerning. be awake.

we run
we hide
we ignore
anything to avoid the discomfort of the moment
there is another option
though it is hot, stay
what is old shall fall away
you are born from love

“Lotus”
remember
don’t despair, do grow
here is your life blossoming
called forth from the mud
remember
remember
