you said, tell me where you’ve been, love (the way to here)…

you said, tell me where you've been, love

you said,
tell me where you’ve been, love

and i thought of all the lost roads,
and dark corners,
and heavy work, and heartbreak,
and of all the healing

and i just said…
on my way here

if anyone or anything needs my spirit to be small…

if anyone or anything needs my spirit to be small... i'm finally learning to walk away

if anyone or anything
needs my spirit to be small,
i’m finally learning to walk away…

because there is just nothing i
could lose that i would ever miss as
much as i have missed the feel of my own

i am willing to grow… this is my agreement with myself…

the first step in setting yourself free... i am willing to grow

the first step in
setting yourself free…
i am willing to grow.

This is my agreement with myself. In all of the places and circumstances and situations in my life where I feel stuck, to be willing to grow. To be willing to listen to what something is showing to me or asking from me. To understand that even though I may not have control over things happening around me, or even always to me, I am still always responsible for my own energy within those experiences. And I can still always look for movement and change within my own space that I hold. And that’s where my freedom will come from. So, instead of fighting against the things outside of me that may make me feel like I’m stuck, being open to where I can grow, to grow out of them.
