Thank you for all of the things that didn't work out
For the love that wasn't returned
For the places that didn't feel like home
Now I see
You were preparing me
For the blessings that are truly meant for me

All the seasons of my life
The bright days without a cloud in the sky
The dark heavy cold rains
The crisp whips of wind through my hair
I love it all
For I am alive

It's all experience
No matter how difficult
It's all meant to tell you
You can do this
You can do this
You can do this

It is wisdom to deeply understand
That sometimes there is no more to be done
You have fought the good fight
You have defended, been the aggressor,
tried to turn the tides...
used up everything you have...
to understand you must withdraw
Sometimes it is the accumulation of all these efforts
There is not one final blow
That causes the retreat
This is true power
knowing when to walk away
True strength
knowing when things are futile

I am a pillar of strength
Yet not let me be too strong
Where I do not allow life to move me
Where I do not allow love into my heart

The warrior walks with ease in his step
lightness
careful to flow through fields
melt into the earth
the spaces
dissolve with time
But should an attack arise from the outside
which is the nature of this earthly experience
the warrior must be quick to act
to draw his sword
for his life is precious
and must be defended and guarded
at all costs

It doesn't matter what happens
when you really start to love yourself
and choose yourself...
you can bear anything

All that not enoughness?
All that pain of being forgotten, overlooked?
Turn within
You must be enough for you
It must come from you
It could never come from outside

Like the warrior
On my dying day
I take nothing with me
It's me meeting my maker
Me answering to what I put forth in the world
Me answering to my own spirit
Looking myself in a crystal clear mirror
Have I chosen a path of light
Did I do my best to live unburdened
How lightly did I tread
How much harm did I cause
Have I burned up completely
Like the warrior I have always been
-
If you think upon how deep your pain has been
at certain times in your life...
how you have braved it...
Just think how you can experience love in equal measure
-
Do what you love
-
When you decide
to fully trust life
fully trust in divine workings
something beautiful happens
fear vanishes
the heart becomes a still pond
clear
calm
undisturbed

Grateful
in case i have not said it lately
in case i have forgotten
thank you for the miracle of this life
for this body
for this wild ride
for the chance to discover who i am
for the births
for the deaths
for all that it means
to be alive
