You are a miracle,
The magic,
The unending source of nourishment and love you've been looking outside for.
Change is constant.
The waves that happily play with the shores return to the mysterious depths of the ocean.
The flowing water of the river never returns to the place it once irrigated.
The rising sun needs to set.
Seasons change.
People come and go.
Our hearts are broken and mended and sometimes broken again.
Even the breath we inhale needs to be exhaled.
There are dreams we chase.
There are destinations we long to reach to rest our tired souls.
There is life in the now and there is life that we wish to live.
There is love,
Longing for love and the effort to cling to the love.
How then do we find peace in this constant effort?
How do we soothe our never-ending seeking?
The answer is you.
Close your eyes now.
Raise your left palm on your heart and your right palm over your left.
Breathe into this heart space lovingly,
Tenderly and tell yourself,
I love you.
By doing this,
You are now beginning the process of shift.
From needing from the outside world to discovering what lies within.
You,
My beautiful soul,
Are enough.
You are a masterpiece waiting to be uncovered.
There is love oozing from the pores of your skin.
Smile and open your closed heart.
In an effort to please others,
To ensure their attention,
We restrict ourselves.
We cut and stitch our boundaries into boxes that fit into people whom we want us to love.
We move from expansion to restriction,
From flow to resistance.
Commit,
Dear one.
Commit to living from the space from your heart.
The love you're searching for from others is in you in endless supply.
The abundance you want to fill your cup with is right there in our own inner self.
The moment is yours to take.
The power is in you.
You are not wrong.
You've never been wrong.
Neither have been the people around us.
Each one of us is on our own journey fighting our own battles.
The best way forward is to tend to your own heart,
Is to listen and say I love you to yourself and the rest will follow.
You are worth every drop of love you give yourself.
Commit to never abandon this self,
To be your best friend,
To be your most enthusiastic cheerleader,
To be your most good warrior.
To your own soulmate,
Trust in you.
Breathe into your heart and trust in who you are.
You are valuable and loved.
With patience and love,
Miracles will happen,
Magic will occur,
Our dreams will be fulfilled.
Let your new journey begin.
Start here by placing your left palm on your heart,
Your right palm over your left and telling yourself I love you.
