Transcript

Look back,

My dear one,

And take notice of the journey that's brought you this far.

Look back at the beauty,

The darkness,

The growth.

Feel deep pride for all that you are.

Look back at the pathways you've travelled in life,

Some planned,

Some journeys off track.

Realising no matter how lost that you felt,

Each time you would find your way back.

Reflect on the courage it took to keep going when the burdens of life felt too great.

Acknowledge your strength and your heart,

My dear love,

To walk on bearing such heavy weight.

Remember that each time the darkness would come and cast shadows across your pure light.

That the spark deep within you would rise up again,

Beaming love,

Beaming truth,

Beaming life.

Look back with the wisdom that all you've been through has led you to where you are now.

Understanding we're not always granted our wish,

But that life knows what's needed somehow.

These hardships,

This darkness,

This pain you've endured,

You might never have chosen to know.

But within them you learned and you thrived and became.

It's in mud that the lotus can grow.

So look back,

My brave love,

Look back and look back,

Then surrender and let it all go.

Come to here,

Come to now,

Come to being,

My darling.

Release and allow life to flow.

Be alive in this one precious moment,

Dear one.

Be awake to whatever's unfolding.

Breathe in life,

Breathe in love,

Breathe in hope,

Breathe in now and release all that pain you've been holding.

Remember the truth of your essence,

Dear love,

An exquisite and rare work of art.

An infinite,

Beautiful being of light made of stardust and spirit and heart.

Reviews

Perfect short reminder of all we have traversed to get to the present moment. A very beautiful poem I needed to hear today. Thanks.

Meaningful encouragement in this track. This track is helpful in thinking that the sum of what has happened is, perhaps, good.

Thank you.
The We are stardust made me think of Joni Mitchell’s Woodstock, we are stardust, we are golden and we got to get ourselves back to the garden.

Beautiful words to remind me how much I've endured and where I am today, because of my strength and my trust in myself. Thank you. 😌❤️🙏🏼

I am a mutitude. There are parts that scoffed at the rhyme, rolling their eyes. There are also young sweet parts who were charmed by the verse and the message. They loved this and felt seen and valued. Thank you.
