Knowing I was brave to feel so deeply

Creating a life that is a work of art

When Death comes for me,

I’ll laugh at all my worries

My time on this spinning blue ball was a wink of eternity,

And none of my fears were ever truly worthy

When Death comes for me,

I’ll think of everyone I have ever loved,

Knowing all else in life is a bonus

But connection is what matters when push comes to shove

The Bookend of Breath

Between your first and last breath

Is the story that you create

Think of the biggest twists and turns

That have led you to your current state

When we learn from our past

We become free from the unconscious acts we play

Pay close attention to the eternal now

Trust your heart will never lead you astray

Maybe She’s More Than Enough

Maybe her dress is a little wrinkled and her hair always out of place. Maybe she doesn’t need to seek perfection to live her life with grace. Maybe some days it seems she has swallowed the sun with her smile. Maybe other days she allows herself to fall apart for a while. Maybe some moments she enjoys the sweetness of doing nothing. Maybe other moments she races toward her dreams until she can touch them. Maybe she understands the never-ending lesson of being human. Maybe he understands a seed is planted in darkness before it begins blooming. Maybe she knows all of the love life can give. Maybe she knows that a life without love is not one that has been lived.

The Right Person at the Wrong Time

I asked what you were thinking

You smiled and looked at the rain

The right person at the wrong time

Will cause a lot of pain

The man he would one day be

Was the man I was looking for

But I had already learned that lesson

So to that moment I closed the door

Loving someone for their potential

Only hurts their growth and yours

Keep blooming and trust your process

There is a love that is so much more

Love Without Reason

Love without reason. Love because it took at least 13 billion years for you to even come into existence. Love so that we stop raising broken people who spread the pain they feel on the world. Love because that is your nature, and your heart doesn’t need to feel the gravity that comes with holding on to things. You may have been wounded in the past, but do you need to wear the story of those wounds? Love so that you can let go. Love so that you can truly live.

Trust Your Pace

My soul was made of the wind

I never know where she will guide me

Sometimes she is barely a soft breeze

Others she swirls in a new direction

So fast my mind spins in confusion

Though I think this is her point

To give my heart a running head start
