If it weren’t for the beauty
that fear often inspires
We would think the time lost
That this emotion requires
But experiencing life so deeply
Makes it such a lovely maze
The pureness of emotion
Gives wonder to our days
So treat your thought with care
And it may change its hue
But know that casting it away
Is impossible to do
Accepting it for what it is
And letting it just be
Gives calm to all the chaos
And let’s our minds dance free
For worry does inspire
And fear can change our view
We’re all in this together
The world is here for you

I wish that life’s answers
Would fall to you like rain
And you could catch them in your hand
And never doubt again.

“you are powerful beyond measure”
my yoga teacher whispered into our expanse of sweaty bodies, all twisted and teetering and balancing on a single leg that had gone numb minutes ago
“you have a special light that shines”
she proclaimed as we bent and twisted and tried to breathe like darth vader while emptying our minds and simultaneously channeling inner peace and oneness with the earth
“you are enough”
we inhaled, we exhaled
and somehow, we believed her
each other

like a single raindrop
in a storm,
we fall quickly
in an unwavering path
rushing
toward what seems to be
the easiest ending
we blindly streak
through skies
and let gravity’s pull
control our speed
often forgetting
we’re one in a storm
of a million
all crashing and racing
toward the surface below
and never fully grasping
that when we reach
the hardened ground
we’ll need
a thousand others
to break our fall.
and a thousand others
will need us
to break theirs.
