Transcript

Continue to speak your truth, Even when your voice starts to shake. Burn it all down and drown nothing but scattered ash in your wake. You'll find there can be love, Even in letting go. Sometimes you have to choose faith over logic to embrace all you do not know. Continue to speak your truth, To hear the way it changes as it leaves your lips. Hold yourself in compassion as you discover the medicine of your voice and its gifts that you'll only open to through trial and error as you discover more of yourself over time. Give yourself permission to make mistakes. Let yourself be human. It's not a crime to live well and love, Following the threads of what feels true. Even through the destruction, You'll be led to a more truer version of you. And everything that was meant to go will go, And all that's meant to stay will stay. There will be a void in the middle for quite a while, But trust that spirit will never lead you astray.
