Friday [The lessons in longing]

Lately I have been longing to learn how to fly

to fall

to leap into the unknown 

and trust

trust in the universe

trust in the sky

trust in your arms

i want to fall with complete abandon

open up my wild, untamed soul

release all the hurt and shame and secrets tucked into the darkest recesses of my heart

and just let go

i have been learning to trust with more grace

to give with abandonment

to love with more joy

to ask honestly and openly for help

to reach for connectedness

to believe in the goodness and heart of the universe

to seek gratitude in every moment

to let the waves of fear and doubt and stress wash over me,

to acknowledge them, fill them with love

and pass them on

into the untold folds of the night sky.

i am giving away my need for control

it is liberating

it is terrifying

it is exactly what it needs to be

i am giving away my need for self preservation

it is lonely

it is isolating

it is no longer what i see for myself

i am giving away my fear of falling short

i am enough

i am enough

i am enough

i am more than enough

My pockets are empty
My heart is full
I do not have much, but I have love.
And love is enough.



so sing at the top of your lungs
