Notes to self
Be still, Love
Just ‘be Love’
If we keep moving to find,
We might never be found
Just ‘be Love’
If we keep moving to find,
We might never be found
Love is watching someone grow
Into their truest forms.
And to grow, we must let go
The weight of our old selves
So I’ll keep my gaze set North, and shed layers of winter coats
And follow the path that stays lit
By your love.
And so I let go, and grow forward
toward the fiery warmth of your light, leading me safely
back home to myself.
Into their truest forms.

So I close my eyes
and study the kaleidoscope in my mind
and I’m reminded
of what beauty we find
in darkness
when we let go
the heavy weight of fear
and uncertainty

Stay awake
With me, for me
In the most peaceful moments of the night
So rarely spent, for we sleep through it
throughout our entire lives
as if it’s insignificant
Or maybe we’re just conditioned
to the routine
So stay awake
with me, for me
together in the center of stillness
In a world that’s slowed down
to a pace we can keep up with
so quiet, we can hear the earth breathe
So listen while it lasts
Take a closer look at
what we look away from
the beauty within our darkest moments

What if I
just rode this wave
like a feather rides the wind?
Will it carry me
safely home
back to myself?
What if I
just let it be
like all things in nature?
Will letting go
allow this life to flow
to the rhythm
of it’s authentic pace?
If I loosen my grip
and let myself slip
into this abyss
of uncertainty
will I gracefully
and effortlessly
Find freedom?

Dear Body,
Thank you
I love you
It is safe to let go
Dear Self,
Thank you
I love you
You are worthy of love
Thank you
I love you
It is safe to let go
Dear Self,
Thank you
I love you
You are worthy of love
I can still hear the forest breathe out & in.
Still imprinted on my skin,
the loving embrace of Mother Earth
The sounds of peace, death, & rebirth.
This is where I come to be whole
The sounds of solitude
Imprinted on my soul.
I can still hear the confetti-like leaves
Of the green Aspen trees
Riding the waves of the wind,
harmoniously
Softly whistling
To the natural rhythm.
Now I’m listening
Breathing out and in
My breath softly whispering
For me to go within.
So I tune in
To the sounds of surrender
Mother nature’s call
To remember.

The sun was shining
High in the sky
But it was hidden by a wall of water
Casting shade as black as night
Ever growing in height
As I stood
Petrified as wood
drowning in a sea of darkness
It was then that I knew
The only way out was through
So I dove in
Head first
Through the heart of the tidal wave
And swam to the deepest depths
Of her inner world
From down in the deep I could see
Another me
Struggling blindly
At the surface
I swam for her
Suddenly equipped with gills and fin
Suddenly aware I could breathe in
So I kept breathing
And when I reached her,
I hooked my arm in hers
And we both gasped through the barrier
Filling our lungs with air
And we floated as one
Faces up to the sun
Supported Completely
In the arms of
Calm waves rocking sweetly
Safely & soundly
Between the realms
High in the sky
But it was hidden by a wall of water
Casting shade as black as night
Ever growing in height
As I stood
Petrified as wood
drowning in a sea of darkness
It was then that I knew
The only way out was through

Through the heart of the tidal wave
And swam to the deepest depths

Joy is the friend that
Im not always quite able to see
but she’s always there
waiting for me
She waits for me
in the grass under the oak tree
in the quiet early mornings sipping tea
she waits for me
in simplicity
She’s always there
with her untamed, tangled hair
laughing and dancing through the woods
like a child
she waits for me
in the wild
She whispers my name
when all has gone quiet
and when I need guidance
she waits for me
in silence
She’s a kindred spirit
a free spirited spirit guide
and those times I hide
in the night
she waits for me
patiently
to notice the glowing force
of her light
Joy is the friend that
I don’t always feel
but if theres one thing for certain
her love is real
her love is pure
And if there’s one thing for sure
however long we’re apart
she waits for me
always
in my heart

To just be
exactly where I am
To be free
from the chokehold of judgment and self doubt
From the chains of routine and structure
To coast with ease
To dance
To the rhythm of my heart’s beat
To move
At a natural pace
To and from a place
Of love
exactly where I am
To be free
from the chokehold of judgment and self doubt
From the chains of routine and structure
To coast with ease
To dance
To the rhythm of my heart’s beat
To move
At a natural pace
To and from a place
Of love
