Smoldering from the depths of me,
Smoke rises.
Out my vented chest
Butterflies flutter--
Your iris painted
the color of my minds sea.
Labradorite cinereal.
My silvered lantern.
fissured branches,
glowing ember.
Effervescent beauty seeps through me.
Chromatic metamorphosis.
Like moonlight you cast a beam,
On all the places that must
be seen.
Sepia budded vines entangled,
Growing.
I'm already something new.

It doesn’t feel good to feel your heart hurting.
You give yourself to the universe knowing your heart will be broken over and over again. To experience the full breadth of love.
Even dogs leave us too soon.
A life without letting yourself feel fully doesn’t feel any better.
If you proceed into whatever will be without holding back, you may experience something that it is significantly different than the rest.
Where the potency of its knowing, seeing, hearing, being with, enlivens you.
The power of the future not yet.
What if the best experiences of your life are still not yet lived?
It might hit you one day. Out of nowhere.
You are in the living room tying your shoes.
You hear them coming closer, their bare feet across the cherry wood hall.
Dancing in silence, as if your favorite song was on, their scent lingers.
Enamored, in awe, you acknowledge this is the human you built this all with.
People arrive and you have no idea when they will be here.
What are you waiting for?
Go on, lean in.
Why are you saving to feel this later?
You may outlive your dog but what if you never felt that much love?
It is better to have felt the full breadth of love then to protect yourself from feeling heart break?
There will always be tragedy in life. Live your life vibrantly.
Knowing what it feels like to love something this much, mirrors the beauty in living.
How could you experience the fullness of what love has to offer if you only bring a part of you in?
What does going all in look like for you?
What are you afraid of happening if you let yourself love them fully?
How long do we teeter on the edge of something that offers us much more?
If you believe the mystery ahead is special, it will be.
