It’s time we stop playing small,
small shoulders, small mouth,
small voice, small ideas about ourselves.
We are big, expansive, infinite,
full of the confidence that comes
with knowing, standing in presence,
seeing the bigger picture, holding our own.
No room for smallness here.
No room for retreat, for bending over,
accommodating,
It’s time to play it big,
to yell, to dance, to step into
and own who we are, regardless of
who we are with,
to dress big, bold, confident,
to walk tall, regal, shoulders back,
chin raised, flashing eyes,
smile on our lips.
We are a goddess!
We are eternal.
We are the expression of the everlasting,
of love and light and beauty.
No room for smallness here.
It’s time.
Though
we have
forged
ourselves wings,
we
are not masters
of
the sky.
Though
we've built
boats
to sail the seas,
we
know not
the
mysteries of the deep.
And
though we walk over
and
tunnel under the Earth,
we
feel not
the
beating of her heart.
Creators
and thinkers,
inventors
and tinkers,
gifted, but we miss
the magic of this life.
Students, not
the masters,
let's learn from Mother Earth
the language of the senses,
the way that leads to love.
Thank you, fresh breath of cool evening air
that blows through my window,
allowing me to clear my head
and breathe deeply.
Thank you, dear friend, for being near
when I am feeling alone, in need of
a shoulder to lean on and
truth spoken from a kind heart.
Thank you, Light, Beauty and Love
for reminding me
that there is good to be found everywhere
and that everything will be alright.
Into the dark I step,
fear, like a skin I cannot shed,
wrapped around me.
The path has been chosen,
but the way
is not smooth.
Have there not been
enough sleepless nights,
enough tears shed?
Storm clouds lie ahead,
and yet,
and yet...
I still see the sun shining
above the clouds,
and hear the birds sing.
I feel the cool breeze
upon my skin,
the sun on my back.
Courage is the choice
to take the next step,
in the midst of fear.
Trusting, believing
that all will be whole,
and all is well with my soul.
