Journey Companions Prayer… please let the ones on my journey…

please let the ones on my journey be here for the soul sparks... for us to see them in each other

Journey Companions…

please let the ones on my journey be here to run wild with me… never try to keep each other small or hold each other back. and let them want me to breathe and grow and bloom and bloom and bloom… and please let me want to give them all of the same breathing room and growing space, too. and let them be here to be beautiful and good to my heart and soul… but if they are not, help me to learn the lessons they are here to teach me… and help my heart to let them go. and please, let the ones on my journey be here for the soul sparks… for us to see them in each other and to remind each other of them when we can’t see them in ourselves… may we light each other’s way and guide each other home.

i once loved someone who kept saying… “be smaller. now smaller, still.“…

i once loved someone who kept saying... be smaller. now smaller, still.

i once loved
someone who kept saying…
“be smaller. now smaller, still.

but as small as i made myself,
it was never, ever small enough.
because my light was never the problem…
their own darkness was.

so the next time i love,
i want to love someone who says…
“brighter. now brighter, still…
you could never, ever shine too much.”

self-love era… at first, this all felt like loss…

self-love era... at first, this all felt like loss, like life was taking me away from places i'd felt love

self-love era…
at first, this all felt like loss, like life was taking me away from places i’d felt love. but in this new place, i’m just being asked to learn to feel love… but not need permission from someone or something else to feel it.

i’ve been patient in so much waiting, always barely touching dreams…

i've been patient in so much waiting, always barely touching dreams at the ends of wanting fingertips

i’ve been patient in so much waiting, always barely touching dreams at the ends of wanting fingertips… but now i feel a spark, and i’m ready for life to bring me what it’s been holding in the “someday”… and i will let this be the time when dreams stop feeling out of reach, as they fall into my grasp and start unfolding all around me.
