There you are, my love, did I but for a moment let my gaze slip away? Your presence soothes me through a birds innocent morning song, and in leaf shaped sunlight dancing upon the walls. Your beauty astounds me, glimmering in dew covered petals and streaked across these pastel skies. Your hope courses through me […]
Let me touch this world gently; I don’t need to raise a storm or bring down a mountain. Let me simply hold a hand and whisper a prayer. Let me gaze upon a delicate flower and share its beauty with the next traveler along the way. I don’t need to be a sun, if I […]
This is home, she thought to herself, as she stared at interwoven branches casting heavy shadows against the afternoon sun; though she was miles away from the place where she laid her head to rest at night. That particular balance of stillness and sound that can only be found in nature filled her, until the […]
You can’t break a woman who is self made. She’s courageous and strong, because she walked through her darkest nights alone. She faced her own fears, and picked her own self up off the floor when it was time to start again. She doesn’t fear your monsters, because she was warrior enough to slay her […]
In this mansion of a heart you have always had a room of your own, a place where you whispered the wisdom traditions of mothers, a place where you could tuck your prayers and hang your hopes, a place that I could go when distance kept us apart. Now, here, your room will always remain, […]
To those who have left hints like breadcrumbs for others as you find your own way, thank you for having the courage to forge a new path, and for having the compassion to keep a candle burning as you go. There were times that your glimmer helped me find my way through the dark, and […]
Stop running from your darkness. Stop letting your fears blind you to what desperately wants to be seen. Look into your shadows. Find your center and remain still. Stay present. Stay brave. Stay aware. Stay true and wait. Just as the sun will rise again in the morning, so also will love rise up to […]
You are never alone. When you’re wandering out in the cold, I’ll be the blanket of snow that keeps you warm. And when you’re lost in the dark I’ll be the voice that reminds you to look to the stars. When the noise rises to an uncomfortable pitch, I’ll be the wind that shakes the […]
Oh how I yearn to meet you there one day, in that place beyond. Beyond the flesh and beyond time. Beyond our roles, our pasts, our fears and names; beyond the limits, and beyond the frame. We’re overdue for a rendezvous, in that place where no words need to be spoken yet nothing is left […]
Kindness, too, can be a kind of healing magic. Kindness too can break through barriers, dismantle weapons, tear down walls. Sometimes a sincere encouragement or altruistic favor can bring far deeper and wider spread awareness than even the most well-intentioned criticism or authentic observation. Sometimes a small act of kindness can transform the darkness that […]
I hope you live – in all the ways that only you can. I hope you brave climbing the greatest heights and that you have the courage to take the deep dives. I hope you build your dreams, break the limits, and I hope you make some good friends along the way. I hope when […]
It isnt enough, they say. It isnt enough to live on love. It isn’t enough to feast on wonder and build with dreams. It isn’t enough to move with your soul and breathe with your heart – but we know it’s not merely enough. It’s the source of everything. It won’t work, they say. You […]
