i think one of the saddest
connections is the rebound relationship…
you’re using one person to try
to unlove another.
so there’s nothing pure or honest
in what that relationship is, or ever will be,
as you’ve carried into it an unhealed bond
to what was.
take time to cleanse, to heal, to renew,
to grow, to become.

and if you are in darkness,
and if they come to you,
and if they reach a hand down
to pull you out,
be sure that if you take their hand
you do not drag them into the dark,
but go with them…
go with them into the light

we are
not halves of
each other,
we come here to
love the whole of
one another

i hope
you never
let the ones
who are
sleepwalking
hold you back
in your
own awakening

what is
beautiful in me
and what is tender
in me
it is always.
no matter how
hard you tried to make
me feel hard to love
there are
all these beautiful
and tender things in me…
always.

it isn’t always about judgment
when someone else can’t accept how you are,
sometimes it’s about their self-love
sometimes how you are choosing to be
is harmful to others, and it’s nobody else’s
responsibility to just accept that,
it’s your responsibility to grow, and
to treat people better
love isn’t about demanding that
someone else takes the worst of you,
it’s about wanting to give someone
the best of you

Freedom of religion
honors your freedom to your religion,
but it also honors…
the freedom from your religion,
the freedom to practice other religions,
the freedom of spirituality that isn’t
found through or bound by religion,
and the freedom from any religion at all.
It’s the freedom to believe what
resonates as truth for you and brings
peace to your soul.
