As I unfold, vulnerability sets. I am open, yet I feel as if I can be enveloped by the wings of courage at my request. So I am willing to befriend vulnerability with a knowing I will grow, learn and shed. I am okay with telling my stories, but some might not be ready to hear, some may not know what authenticity truly is. I believe in the power of the story circle. The ways of the tribes and wise ones. The verbal dance of words to transcend and uproot- claiming transformation. I will open my journal and read aloud my heart's journeys. I will untie and loosen the ends. I want to sing my secrets and decorate canvases telling all. Showing the scars and mismatched pieces of heart. I will trace the timeline with a gentle sway to uncover the bare roots. I will stand with muddied bare feet, a torn garment, messy unruly hair, and dirt under my fingernails again in this lifetime. I know what I'm made of, where I come from and what I am here to do. I will be me at the core. I will reveal the bone. I will cry the tears, labeled "release" and speak thorns of truth. The soul knows and reminds me to liberate the trapped messages of ages. I choose to disconnect in order to connect- for It's healing affects not only the teller, but the listeners as well. Ssshhhh. Just listen. Maybe, you might want to share after I lift the veil off my soul's stories and tales.

A poem for you:

Be brave. Be you.
Know your phenomena
You are…you just are,
full of unlimited buds of creation
awaiting to bloom.
Set your sail
and flow into your journey.
Dance with it!
Laugh, play, FEEL.
Learn all that you can learn about YOU.
Praise your existence
each breath
each tear
each moment.
Feel the life of you
feel the aliveness of your heart
the heart inside you that smiles
regardless.
Emerge into this pure love,
this pure flowing love
of infinite glow and completeness.
Deeply, know thyself beyond.
Know your wise self.
Be with yourself in these spaces.
That you is timeless and perfect.
Tell yourself how much you adore you.
Wrap your arms around yourself and cry,
cry of joy at the most beautiful and perfect you.
You
are
THAT
and so much
more…
