Freedom

Let yourself breathe

Let your being flow

Find, celebrate, nurture and dance to

The rhythm of your soul

Too long caged

The beautiful bird living inside of you

Longs for freedom

Can you not hear it calling to you

Singing it’s beautiful song at daybreak?

Awake and let yourself be alive

Do not dive back into that paralyzed place

Where invalidation kept you writhing

Can you hear your heart

Beating faster?

Must you deny the truth of this

Your longing for a life

Free of fear

Free of self negation

And stagnation?

Life is journey,

task and celebration

It calls to you and only you have the ears to hear

And the feet to follow the trajectory of its longing

Know this

As surely as you breathe

You belong to life

And life is part of you

It longs for you too

Each day asking you to show up

Asking you to unfold all of the many gifts and blessings inside of you

Never taking a single day

For granted
