go forth

You know what you must do. You know why you are here. 

There are voices that will tell you no, that will say you can't 

until you almost believe it. 

But just when you are about to,

inhale deeply.

Stretch your arms upward and feel your breath in your heart. 

Bring your hands down and touch your belly, touch your knees and elbows.

Know that you are whole.

You know your reason. You are living your purpose.

Have faith in the bones that hold you together, in the skin that you inhabit.

You are a light-bringer, a wonder-maker, a world-healer.

Each of us, in the way we live, in the way we walk, in our words and in our hearts.

Bring what you may, be what you must

in this wild and wonderous world.
