“Come to the edge," he said.
"We can't, we're afraid!" they responded.
"Come to the edge," he said.
"We can't, We will fall!" they responded.
"Come to the edge," he said.
And so they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.”

"Finding yourself" is not really how it works. You aren't a ten dollar bill in last winter's coat pocket. You are not lost. Your true self is right there, buried under cultural conditioning, other people's opinions, and inaccurate conclusions you drew as a child and adult that became your beliefs about who you are. "Finding yourself" is actually returning to yourself. An unlearning, an excavation, a remembering of who you were before the world got it's hands on you" - Anonymous

And then I realized
that to be
more alive
I had to
be less
afraid
so
I did it…
I lost my
fear
and gained
my whole life.

i know you are busy
but stop for a moment---
the day didn't go your way
but you were alive and experienced it.

so

stop for a moment and look around you
are you safe?
are you fed?
is there beauty around you?
count those blessings.

so

stop for a moment
close your eyes
what do you feel?
what do you hear?
is this place home?

so

stop,
appreciate,
and then,

open your eyes !

i just did and it's wonderful!

“To have a caring and committed heart toward someone—a heart so firm in its devotion as to sooner stop beating than neglect the object of its desire despite the person’s state of health, appearance, reputation, finances, troubles, or challenges that, dear world, is love. It is a rare find.” — Richelle E. Goodrich
