What I most want to say is this:
I am here for you;
I won’t waver.
This life was made to be lived;
Do not spend your days waiting
For anyone.
There is nothing you need
To get on with the beautiful business
Of living.
Look outside — how the sun rises
From behind the blue gum trees,
The morning birds flying
This way and that.
This life is ready and waiting for you.
Arms open to receive
Your every word
Generous heart of the world
Hungry for you.
“Here we are” say the sparrows,
The lavender and rosemary blooming
In the garden.
There is nothing more wondrous
Than the generous beauty of ordinary things.
Look at how the clouds move
Through the sky,
How the light dances across
The stone face of the ancient mountains,
Shadows and light making the world new
From one moment to the next.
You are the same.
One of the whole.
Ever changing & filled
With light.
Allow yourself to sing
Across the ancient valleys of your heart
Reach out into the world
And pull on her aching heartstrings.
Have the courage, the playfulness, the love
To see and give voice to it all
There is nothing more holy than paying attention
With an open heart.
Notice everything
Give language to beauty —
To what your heart knows to be true.
