I will be vulnerable;

 

soften my heart open with grace;

 

turn it toward you.

 

 

I will build a home there, with my own hands;

 

quiet the voices of critique;

 

recognize my lovability.

 

 

I will honor what I need with gentleness;

 

display my passions and offerings unabashedly;

 

never give away my power.

 

 

I will not need answers to everything;

 

welcome the unknown;

 

sit with discomfort until it blossoms.

 

 

I will anchor deep into the rich earth;

 

Seek a sweet lightness;

 

sway easily in the winds.

 

 

My actions will be flavored by love.

 

 

If you hate,

 

I will witness your fear and confusion;

 

If you are alone,

 

I will take you in;

 

If you are anxious,

 

I will slide my hand softly down your spine

 

so you can find your breath.

 

 

I will mirror your beauty when you cannot see it,

 

vast and varied and wild.

 

I will stumble and leap as I learn.

 

I will sink into love and let the rest fall away.

 

I will share this journey raw and open so that others may find the same freedom.

 

This is my life’s work.

 

I am eager to greet it each day.
