Soften

Showing up just as is.

Wearing no mask.

Offering no filter.

Boldly displaying flaws as its character.

Inviting a slow awakening of the mind,

a soft unfolding of the heart.

Awe spontaneously cultivated.

The gaze draws from its surface

into its remarkable uniqueness.

Simplicity and complexity

so readily revealed. 

The flower doesn’t tell it’s story

It just shows up.

Open.

Exposed.

Unapologetically

doing its work,

filling its space in the world,

just as it is.

Stepping into its beauty,

owning its ridges,

thorns,

needs,

and purpose.

Offering a place for the world to pause,

to connect,

to belong,

to soften.

Under the Moon

What would happen if I unleashed my wild self?
The parts of me that move freely, wisely, and instinctively.

If I tore off the garments of social norms and constraints that subconsciously influence my thought patterns and actions?

What if I could be in control and uninhibited?

Harness my passions and balance discipline with fearlessness.

Could I harmoniously exist between the light of rationality and the darkness where my wild, latent parts reside?

Can I embrace and express the dual aspects within me of passion and wisdom, freedom and structure, consciousness and instinct?

In honing my adaptability, I find the courage to assert the authenticity of my multifaceted self,

To roam freely yet wisely under the moon,

To unleash the inner beast and utilize knowledge and intuition to fully experience life,

and for life to fully experience me.
