to love is to hold is to cherish

and so, we rise
and so, we thrive
and so, we open

and perhaps this is the order of operations we always wanted
and perhaps this is the order of operations we always needed

how good it feels to dissolve self consciousness, and how great it feels to ride the ripples of these waves, and how beautiful it is to be a living prayer for kindness, tenderness & beauty in form

together

and how touching it is to know & yet not-know it all

I write this tired & open, in the best way possible. my eyes weary, my heart soft. my heart happy & sad all at once. my spirit resolute. the joy of the journey indescribable

I’ve wanted to write here more, but it hasn’t been quite the right time or place

so, here I am
and here, you find me
quietly engulfed

rising, falling, being, dissolving
lifting, opening, surrendering, becoming

all in one breath

I love you, I love you, I’m here

and that’s enough
