Notice that interval betwixt the chirping of the birds
Sense the emptiness in this remote valley
Did you feel it on that peaceful Sunday morning?
Did it tap your shoulder in the dead of night?
It encompasses everything, yet is so often neglected
We swim in it's presence; it consumes, it gives birth
As the stars cannot shine without darkness, we cannot sing without silence
I won’t ask you to surrender or let go
If you need to keep holding, keep grasping, that’s okay
You held on for a good reason, falling is scary for the best of us
Just know, Love is waiting for you
Love has always been waiting, ready to catch you
At your lowest, most despairing points, Love was there, and you were so close to letting go
But don’t worry, when you’re ready you’ll know
Love is eternally patient and welcomes everyone with open arms
Don’t strive for perfection
Perhaps you shouldn’t even aim for improvement
What if there’s nothing to fix?
What if the perpetual need to solve everything is why you’re discontent?
When we grow, like a seedling emerging from its shell, we are moving towards wholeness
Perfection doesn’t exist
Through wholeness, we become well-rounded and multifaceted
Wholeness is inclusive, welcoming the good, the bad and the ugly in equal measure
Wholeness doesn’t push away or repress so-called negative thoughts
Wholeness is adaptive and open, not restrictive and narrow
Some situations call for strength and power, more situations call for softness and yielding
The person of wholeness responds accordingly
