We're learning to release the achievements,
The possessions,
The perfection.
To immerse ourselves in the present,
The nectar of introspection,
Real connection.
We're learning to give nature the space to teach us her finest lessons yet.
We cannot cling to things any longer.
We cannot rush forward and think that's conquering.
We cannot stay rigidly fixed in our ways.
It's our time now to trust,
Respect,
And conjure our finest love.
And it's waking us up.
What is love?
Love is when you allow yourself to feel and release,
To heal and be free of any fear you were holding a moment ago.
Love is when you welcome the energy of kindness and acceptance to prevail over the diminishing shapes of your most compelling resistance.
Love is when you invite yourself to reconnect to your community and to be wrapped up in our unbridled,
Unconditional acceptance of you.
Love is what's emerging in this time of inexplicable reckoning.
Love is seeing deeply to the pain inside and finding our hearts hurtling toward the next freedom,
The next unified cry for peace.
Love is this healing.
And it's precisely what you were born to bring.
Take one deep breath.
May these words interpret our silent pleas to recall our presence in this larger,
Vast family.
Our fallible,
Earnest,
Beautiful species.
This is when we uncover our strength and our unity.
Take one deep breath with me.
Thank you.
