Poetry Series – If I could talk to you today…

In years past, this longing to talk would be a begging to escape.  Not today.  Today.. I want you to see what’s possible.  I want to see if you know what’s possible.  I want to tell you – anything is possible. 

I realize now… it was never me that “wasn’t enough”.  It was never you, either. 

Some moments are simply stepping stones to where we’re going.  I hope you found the courage to keep going.  I hope you found the courage to drop your ego.  I hope clarity has found you and I hope this time, you have the courage to look it in the face without trying to strip it of its pants first. 

I hope you are well.. and happy.  The kind I never got to see you, and couldn’t stick around long enough to witness or else I’d be missing my own.  I only every hope you beautiful, wonderful things.  I hope you know.

If I could talk to you today

If I could talk to you today, Id say:

Honey,
I don’t know why it took so long for someone to tell you, but you’re enough.
You are enough,
And you always have been.
And I know it feels like this message has come a little late –
You’ve already laid foundation for the bed you’ve made
But its never too late –
To readjust, soften, redesign
It is never too late to trust, to love
Yourself –
Is the only opinion you need to carry the weight of, and even then you should know it will be weightless and called preference unless laced with heavy expectation placed by someone outside your personal system.
Identify and release them. 
Honey, anything meant for you will catch a breeze as you drop it, find its way right back into your hand with perfect timing
And this time, you will grasp it when not busied carrying the burdens of what doesn’t fit.
You are enough, for everything.
So choose.
With confidence
And Step forth with a courage
Daring you to never look back
As a commitment
Ever present
You are
Living

Much love, until next time.
