Why does it take me so long to begin
To dig deep in and get my hands messy
Why do I procrastinate immensely
Dancing around the subject
But not diving in
Why do I day dream about it
But do not actually do it
Why do I hold myself bak
Why do I tighten up
And not let go
I need to jump in
Even when I do not know the outcome
I need to loosen up
Not be held back
Simply just go for it
She never knew that her words would heal the hearts of others
She never knew that they would matter
If you told her years ago that what she wrote would ease another's fears
Make them not feel so alone
She would never believe you
Even if you assured her that you knew it was true
She would not be able to grasp it
She always wrote for herself
Directly from her heart
The words pouring out onto the paper
She spoke of what she knew
What she learned
What she knew to be true
She had to show up on the page
She had to free the words from her mind
Releasing them into the universe
And here she stands today
Not keeping her words bottled up
Showing up here
Opening up
Inviting others in
Living, feeling, smiling
She was hopefull that this day would arrive
And it did
Not how she expected
But it came
Before it's arrival she prepared
Tending to her heart
Soaking in the quiet moments alone
Learning what moved her
What made her dance
Made her laugh
And now she stands deep in who she is
Fully present with what is surrounding her
Laughing with her whole heart
Soaking in the happiness that swirls around
Grateful that she took the time to wait and listen
There are moments in your life that happen. Moments you could not have thought up or dreamed about because you had no idea such a thing could ever occur. But somehow these moments present themselves. You are given the opportunity to embrace them and let them flow with you, guiding you along.
These moments are stepping stones in your life. Taking you from one place to the another. However, describing them as stepping stones does not seem adequate because these moments are life changing. Opening up a whole new door of possibility. Breathing life into your tired heart. Holding you gently. Nudging you along. Encouraging you to keep your head held high.
Many times the individuals who change the course of our life forever are gone in the blink of an eye. Leaving you feeling in awe at the power of connection between individuals. So many people in this world. So many individuals we pass on a daily bases and interact with. But only a select few stirs ours heart and wakes us up. Only a handful have the ability to creep in and see below our outer protective barrier. Why is it that certain individuals connect and others do not? What is it that pulls us deeply into each other? What forms the space between others? It is interesting to be roaming the roads of life. Meeting so many different individuals. Traveling down one path and then getting directed somewhere else all because of a brief encounter.
Strangers can open us up. They can stand before us and accept us exactly as we are in the moment. They do not know the past. They do not know our struggles. They just see you before them. Your heart in your hand ready to be revealed. You stand there in all of your being radiating who you are. And you never know if you will walk away with something new. A new opportunity, a new friend, a new chance to take.
And the day came
When she dug her toes deep into the sand
And simply let go
Surrendering to the universe
All it has in store for her
It was here that she knew the journey was worth it
The struggles and the pain
They all helped to clear her heart
Open her up to see what it was that would truly feed her soul
There were many dark nights when she was lost
Stumbling and almost giving up hope
But she always pressed on
Stepping one small foot in front of the other
Unsure of what lies ahead of her
But knowing she had to continue down the path
And now she stands deeply rooted in love
So full of beauty and kindness
Her heart is overflowing with joy
The smile on her face radiates
As she twirls in the sunlight
And soaks in the beautiful life that she has created
